I'm trying to use the value of localStorage to display one of two Twitter feeds, one for a light mode theme, the other for dark mode. It works, but I have to refresh the webpage for the correct CSS - either twitter-dark-display-none or twitter-light-display-none - to work.
Using jQuery(document).ready(function () doesn't help.
The Fiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/zpsf5q3x/2/ But the sample tweets don't show due to JSFiddle limits on displaying third party frames. And, localstorage may not work there, either.
Fiddle calls two external libraries:
https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/gitbrent/[email protected]/css/bootstrap4-toggle.min.css and https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/gitbrent/[email protected]/js/bootstrap4-toggle.min.js
HTML:
Note the data-theme="dark" in the first block.
<div class="twitter-dark-display-none">
<a class="twitter-timeline" data-width="170" data-height="200" data-theme="dark"
data-tweet-limit="1" data-chrome="transparent nofooter noborders" href="https://twitter.com/StackOverflow?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">Tweets</a>
</div>
<div class="twitter-light-display-none">
<a class="twitter-timeline" data-width="170" data-height="200" data-tweet-limit="1" data-chrome="transparent nofooter noborders" href="https://twitter.com/StackOverflow?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">Tweets</a>
</div>
jQuery:
Overall function that uses localStorage to toggle the entire site between dark and normal mode.
$('body').toggleClass(localStorage.toggled);
function darkLight() {
if (localStorage.toggled != 'dark') {
$('body').toggleClass('dark', true);
localStorage.toggled = "dark";
} else {
$('body').toggleClass('dark', false);
localStorage.toggled = "";
}
}
What I'm trying to use to toggle CSS:
if (localStorage.toggled === 'dark') {
$('.twitter-light-display-none').addClass("display-none");
$('.twitter-dark-display-none').addClass("display-block");
} else {
$('.twitter-dark-display-none').addClass("display-none");
$('.twitter-light-display-none').addClass("display-block");
}
CSS:
.display-none {
display: none !important;
}
.display-block {
display: block !important;
}
Edit 10/24/2020:
johannchopin's answer works, with the addition of $('body').toggleClass(localStorage.toggled);
as in my original code above.
But. There is some sort of conflict with the gitbrent dark mode JS and CSS libraries, so I switched to https://github.com/coliff/dark-mode-switch and that results in a simpler way to both toggle dark mode and use localstorage in addition to the function johannchopin provided to switch between twitter widget divs:
<script>
(function() {
var darkSwitch = document.getElementById("darkSwitch");
if (darkSwitch) {
initTheme();
darkSwitch.addEventListener("change", function(event) {
resetTheme();
});
function initTheme() {
var darkThemeSelected =
localStorage.getItem("darkSwitch") !== null &&
localStorage.getItem("darkSwitch") === "dark";
darkSwitch.checked = darkThemeSelected;
darkThemeSelected
? document.body.setAttribute("data-theme", "dark")
: document.body.removeAttribute("data-theme");
}
function resetTheme() {
if (darkSwitch.checked) {
document.body.setAttribute("data-theme", "dark");
localStorage.setItem("darkSwitch", "dark");
} else {
document.body.removeAttribute("data-theme");
localStorage.removeItem("darkSwitch");
}
updatedarkSwitch();
}
}
})();
function updatedarkSwitch() {
if (localStorage.darkSwitch === 'dark') {
$('.twitter-light-display-none').addClass("display-none").removeClass('display-block');
$('.twitter-dark-display-none').addClass("display-block").removeClass('display-none');
} else {
$('.twitter-dark-display-none').addClass("display-none").removeClass('display-block');
$('.twitter-light-display-none').addClass("display-block").removeClass('display-none');
}
}
updatedarkSwitch()
</script>
And then use the most basic dark mode rule in the style sheet:
[data-theme="dark"] {
background-color: #000000 !important;
}
and also add any other more specific CSS rules needed, i.e.
[data-theme="dark"] .post-title{
color:#fff !important;
}
You have multiple issues in you code. First, you toggle the CSS, but only when the page loads because this code is only run once (when the script is loaded):
Just move this script in the function (ex:
updateInterfaceTheme) that you call at the end ofdarkLight().Another issue is that you forget to clean the previous class and that leads to a styling conflict:
So don't forget to clean them:
And like that it's working:
