Hi @ArDev. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- I'm sorry, but your question is not clear. Are you asking about how to implement a light/dark mode toggle in a Wasp application? Or are you asking about how to handle light/dark mode in the Wasp documentation or some other context? Could you please provide more details so I can give you a more accurate answer? ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ---------------------- Sorry @ArDev, I seem to be having a bit of trouble. Don't worry though, I've pinged my support and they will try to fix me up! :technologist: Perhaps try again in 15mins?

@kapa.ai how to ensure all components are compliant with light/dark mode?

kapa.ai•5mo ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- Ensuring all components are compliant with light/dark mode involves a few steps: 1. Define a Theme: You need to define a theme that includes both light and dark color schemes. This can be done using CSS variables or a theme context in React. 2. Use Theme Variables in Components: When styling your components, use the color variables defined in your theme instead of hard-coded colors. This way, when the theme changes, the colors in your components will automatically update. 3. Add a Theme Switcher: You need a way for users to switch between light and dark mode. This could be a toggle button that changes the theme context or CSS variables. In the context of Wasp, there were issues related to light/dark mode compatibility in the documentation. These were addressed by ensuring the color schemes were defined for both light and dark modes and by making sure visual elements were compatible with both modes (source (https://github.com/wasp-lang/wasp/issues/1424), source (https://github.com/wasp-lang/wasp/issues/1181)). For adding a CSS framework like Tailwind, you can follow the instructions in the Wasp documentation (source (https://wasp-lang.dev/docs/project/css-frameworks#adding-tailwind-plugins)). For more specific advice, you might need to refer to the documentation of the specific technologies you're using (e.g., React, CSS, Tailwind, etc.). ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

what do i add to the code ? @kapa.ai

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- I'm sorry, but the provided knowledge sources do not contain specific code examples or instructions for implementing a light/dark mode toggle in a Wasp application. However, here's a general approach you can take: 1. Define a Theme: You can define a theme in your CSS or in your React context. This theme should include color variables for both light and dark modes.

:root {
  --color-text-light: #000;
  --color-text-dark: #fff;
  /* Add more color variables as needed */
}

:root {
  --color-text-light: #000;
  --color-text-dark: #fff;
  /* Add more color variables as needed */
}

2. Use Theme Variables in Components: Use the color variables in your components. This way, when the theme changes, the colors in your components will automatically update.

.myComponent {
  color: var(--color-text);
  /* More styles */
}

.myComponent {
  color: var(--color-text);
  /* More styles */
}

3. Add a Theme Switcher: You need a way for users to switch between light and dark mode. This could be a toggle button that changes the theme context or CSS variables.

function ThemeSwitcher() {
  // Implement logic to switch theme
}

function ThemeSwitcher() {
  // Implement logic to switch theme
}

Please refer to the documentation of the specific technologies you're using (e.g., React, CSS, etc.) for more specific instructions. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ---------------------- Sorry @ArDev, I seem to be having a bit of trouble.

@kapa.ai how can i make it so every component is dark theme?

kapa.ai•5mo ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- To make every component use a dark theme, you would typically define a dark theme in your CSS or in your React context, and then apply this theme to your entire application. However, the provided knowledge sources do not contain specific code examples or instructions for implementing a dark theme in a Wasp application. Here's a general approach you can take: 1. Define a Dark Theme: You can define a dark theme in your CSS or in your React context. This theme should include color variables for the dark mode.

:root {
  --color-text: #fff;
  --color-background: #000;
  /* Add more color variables as needed */
}

:root {
  --color-text: #fff;
  --color-background: #000;
  /* Add more color variables as needed */
}

2. Use Theme Variables in Components: Use the color variables in your components. This way, when the theme changes, the colors in your components will automatically update.

.myComponent {
  color: var(--color-text);
  background-color: var(--color-background);
  /* More styles */
}

.myComponent {
  color: var(--color-text);
  background-color: var(--color-background);
  /* More styles */
}

3. Apply the Theme: Apply the dark theme to your entire application. This could be done by adding a class to the root element of your application, or by setting the theme in your React context.

function MyApp() {
  // Set the theme in your React context
  // Or add a class to the root element
}

function MyApp() {
  // Set the theme in your React context
  // Or add a class to the root element
}
