Dark Mode Toggle Javascript Tutorial For Website or Blog

-

In today's post, I'm excited to share a simple yet powerful way to add dark mode functionality to your website or blog. This is especially useful because many web technologies still struggle to follow system themes automatically. Even though users can find dark mode plugins for browsers, not everyone has them installed.

This tutorial is part of a series where I share various widgets that I have created for blogs and websites. Today, we’ll look at how to implement a ‘Dark Mode Toggle’. This button will allow your visitors to switch your site’s theme between dark and light modes effortlessly.

The beauty of this dark mode toggle is that it is created purely using vanilla JavaScript, meaning it doesn’t require any additional libraries. This makes it incredibly easy to integrate into any website, whether you’re using Blogger, WordPress, or any other platform.

To get started, simply copy and paste the following code snippet before the closing `</body>` tag in your HTML file,  (only the<script>...</script> part):

That’s all you need to do in terms of HTML. Just save your file and reload your page.

As someone who spends a lot of time in front of a computer screen, I find dark mode indispensable. It significantly reduces eye strain and helps me focus better. Adding dark mode functionality to your website or any other application is essential in this modern age.

The way this dark mode works is by inverting colors, so instead of hardcoded colors, it dynamically changes based on the original color. For example, a color of `#FFFFFF` (white) would be inverted to `#000000` (black), and `#EEEEEE` would become `#111111`. This approach ensures a smooth transition to darker shades rather than just switching between black and white.

Moreover, I’ve included a feature to remember the user’s choice, so if they refresh the page, the theme will remain in the last state they selected.

I hope you find this widget helpful and easy to implement. Dark mode can make a significant difference in user experience, especially for those of us who spend long hours in front of a screen.

In this tutorial, I'll guide you through creating a Spring Boot application using the Netbeans IDE.

Spring Kafka - How to use ReplyingKafkaTemplate send and reply synchronously

Microservice Spring with Apache Kafka Today, I want to share how to use Kafka. It's quite interesting once you get the hang of it, and I hope my explanation will make it a bit easier for you. So, Kafka is primarily known as an asynchronous messaging queuing system. This means it allows different parts of your application to communicate with each other without waiting for immediate responses. However, there are times when you might need a more immediate reply from another service in your project. Luckily, Kafka can handle this too. Here’s how it works: The client side sends a message to the server side via Kafka. This message includes a special identifier in the Kafka header request, known as KafkaHeaders.CORRELATION_ID, along with a topic where the server should respond. The server, after processing the request, sends a message back to the same topic with the same correlation ID. This way, the client knows that the message is a response to its initial request and can act accordingl...
