next-themes VS vueuse

Next themes is used for themes switching

Shadcn UI supports dark mode for Next.js and Vite applications. For Next.js applications, Shadcn UI uses next-themes for the dark mode toggling functionality. When a user toggles between light and dark mode, the application switches between the light and dark theme tokens.

Let’s start with Next.js. We’ll use the next-themes package, which allows us to handle dark mode very easily without worrying about blocking page rendering to check user preferences.

"use client"; import React from "react"; import { ThemeProvider as NextThemesProvider } from "next-themes"; import { ThemeProviderProps } from "next-themes/dist/types"; // https://github.com/pacocoursey/next-themes/issues/152#issuecomment-1364280564 // needs to be called NextThemesProvider not ThemesProvider // not sure why export function Providers(props: ThemeProviderProps) { return ; }

Next themes

It is that simple. It has 74,528 weekly npm downloads and if it's good enough for @leeerob, it's good for me too. Get creative with your loading state and toggle button (or not && KISS). Check out their next-themes GH repo for more info.

i usually use https://github.com/pacocoursey/next-themes when dealing with themes, it doesnt flash

My opinion: Vue, specifically the Vue 3 Composition API. Most of your app state should come from computed() values. Bookmark https://vueuse.org and come back to it often. Go through VueUse's source (the docs for each function link to their source): you'll be surprised at how simple most of it is, and it stands as documentation of best practices for using the composition API in general.

Now, let’s talk about Vue! Once again, we’ll use an external library to handle dark mode simply and quickly. In this case, the library is called VueUse, and you can install it using the command npm i @vueuse/core --save.

Great library. Could use some improvements as said by other (tree shaking, add jsdocs, etc…). Just a quick reminder for the vuejs devs out there we have https://vueuse.org/

Yeah, I figured useHooks was created without knowing about VueUse, but thought they might have become aware of it sense then. It makes sense, because though the code is heading in the direction of VueUse in terms of being maintained and well rounded, the structure of useHooks is quite a bit different. It has the code alongside the Markdown: https://github.com/vueuse/vueuse/tree/main/packages/integrat...

Demo: https://github.com/vueuse/vueuse/blob/main/packages/core/useWebNotification/demo.vue

Also take a look at https://vueuse.org/ which might save you some lines :)

For what it's worth my timeframe is very similar to yours! Started in 2019, no React / Angular. I think looking at great codebases like [VueUse](https://github.com/vueuse/vueuse) shows off the best of composition API.
