📦 Installation
To install next-theme-kit, simply use npm:
npm install next-theme-kitOr with yarn:
yarn add next-theme-kit🧪 Usage
With App Router
To integrate next-theme-kit onto a NextJS project that uses the app router, we need to use a workaround for adding React Context onto the layout.tsx of our project. To do this we need to create a providers.tsx file in our app directory as follows:
// app/providers.tsx
'use client';
import React from 'react';
import { ThemeProvider } from 'next-theme-kit';
type ProvidersProps = {
children: React.ReactNode;
};
export const Providers: React.FC<ProvidersProps> = (props) => {
const { children } = props;
return <ThemeProvider>{children}</ThemeProvider>;
};Once we have created this file we can use it to wrap our children in the app layout file.
// app/layout.tsx
import React from 'react';
import { Providers } from './providers';
export default function RootLayout({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) {
return (
<html lang='en'>
<body>
<Providers>{children}</Providers>
</body>
</html>
);
}With Pages Router
To integrate next-theme-kit onto a NextJS project that uses the pages router, simply wrap your _app.tsx with the ThemeProvider.
// pages/_app.tsx
import React from 'react';
import type { AppProps } from 'next/app';
import { ThemeProvider } from 'next-theme-kit';
export default function App({ Component, pageProps }: AppProps) {
return (
<ThemeProvider>
<Component {...pageProps} />
</ThemeProvider>
);
}🪝 Theme Hook
The following code shows an example of using the useTheme hook in a NextJs application:
'use client';
import React, { useEffect, useState } from 'react';
import { useTheme } from 'next-theme-kit';
export default function ThemeToggler() {
const { theme, setTheme } = useTheme();
const [isMounted, setIsMounted] = useState<boolean>(false);
useEffect(() => {
setIsMounted(true);
}, []);
if (!isMounted) return null;
return (
<div className='flex flex-col items-center justify-center'>
Theme: {theme}
<button
type='button'
onClick={() => {
setTheme(theme === 'dark' ? 'light' : 'dark');
}}
>
Toggle theme
</button>
</div>
);
