📝 Notes
- The hook is only available in the browser environment. So if you use NextJS App router or any other framework that uses Server Components, you should use this hook in a Client Component by adding the directive
use client - Currently works only if the project is using TailwindCSS
- Ensure your project has the necessary TailwindCSS configuration for dark mode

📦 Installation
Install the package using npm or YARN:
npm install react-theme-switch-animationor
yarn add react-theme-switch-animation📚 Usage
Here’s how to use the useModeAnimation hook in your React component:
'use client'
import React from 'react'
import { useModeAnimation } from 'react-theme-switch-animation'
const MyComponent = () => {
const { ref, toggleSwitchTheme, isDarkMode } = useModeAnimation()
return (
<button ref={ref} onClick={toggleSwitchTheme}>
Toggle Dark Mode (Currently {isDarkMode ? 'Dark' : 'Light'} Mode)
</button>
)
}
export default MyComponent📚 API
useModeAnimation accepts an optional props object with the following properties:
| Property | Type | Default | Description |
| ------------------ | ------------------------- | ------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- |
| duration | number | 750 | Duration of the animation in milliseconds. |
| easing | string | "ease-in-out" | CSS easing type for the animation. |
| pseudoElement | string | "::view-transition-new(root)" | Pseudo-element used for the animation. |
| globalClassName | string | "dark" | Class name to apply to the root element. |
| animationType | ThemeAnimationType | ThemeAnimationType.CIRCLE | Type of animation effect (CIRCLE, BLUR_CIRCLE, QR_SCAN) |
| blurAmount | number | 2 | Blur intensity for blur circle animation. |
| styleId | string | "theme-switch-style" | ID for the style element (blur circle animation). |
| isDarkMode | boolean | false | Initial dark mode state. |
| onDarkModeChange | (isDark: boolean) => void | undefined | Callback function to handle dark mode change. |
Animation Types
The hook supports three types of animations:
ThemeAnimationType.CIRCLE: A clean circle expansion animation (default)ThemeAnimationType.BLUR_CIRCLE: A circle expansion with blur effect on the edgesThemeAnimationType.QR_SCAN: A scanning line that sweeps from left to right
Examples for Each Animation Type
Circle Animation (Default)
'use client'
import React from 'react'
import { ThemeAnimationType, useModeAnimation } from 'react-theme-switch-animation'
const CircleAnimation = () => {
const { ref, toggleSwitchTheme, isDarkMode } = useModeAnimation({
animationType: ThemeAnimationType.CIRCLE,
})
return (
<button ref={ref} onClick={toggleSwitchTheme}>
{isDarkMode ? '🌙' : '☀️'} Toggle Theme
</button>
)
}Blur Circle Animation
'use client'
import React from 'react'
import { ThemeAnimationType, useModeAnimation } from 'react-theme-switch-animation'
const BlurCircleAnimation = () => {
const { ref, toggleSwitchTheme, isDarkMode } = useModeAnimation({
animationType: ThemeAnimationType.BLUR_CIRCLE,
blurAmount: 4, // Optional: adjust blur intensity
duration: 1000, // Optional: adjust animation duration
})
return (
<button ref={ref} onClick={toggleSwitchTheme}>
{isDarkMode ? '🌙' : '☀️'} Toggle Theme (Blur)
</button>
)
}QR Scan Animation
'use client'
import React from 'react'
import { ThemeAnimationType, useModeAnimation } from 'react-theme-switch-animation'
const QRScanAnimation = () => {
const { ref, toggleSwitchTheme, isDarkMode } = useModeAnimation({
animationType: ThemeAnimationType.QR_SCAN,
duration: 500, // Faster scan animation
})
return (
<button ref={ref} onClick={toggleSwitchTheme}>
{isDarkMode ? '🌙' : '☀️'} Toggle Theme (QR Scan)
</button>
)
}Returns an object containing:
ref: React ref for attaching to the component that will trigger the dark mode toggle.toggleSwitchTheme: Function to toggle dark mode.isDarkMode: Current state of dark mode (truefor dark,falsefor light).
⚡ Performance & Optimization
This library is built with performance in mind:
- High-Resolution Display Support: Automatically detects and optimizes for displays ≥3000px width/height
- Adaptive Animation Duration: Reduces duration by 20% on high-res displays for smoother experience
- GPU Acceleration: Uses hardware-accelerated CSS properties (
transform,clip-path,mask) - Memory Efficient: Automatic cleanup of style elements and event listeners
- Accessibility: Respects
prefers-reduced-motionfor users who prefer minimal animations
🌐 Browser Support
- Modern Browsers: Chrome 111+, Firefox 103+, Safari 16.4+
- View Transition API: Falls back gracefully on unsupported browsers
- Progressive Enhancement: Basic theme switching works everywhere, animations enhance the experience
📝 Requirements
- React 16.8 or later (for Hooks support)
- TypeScript for compiling the package during installation
- TailwindCSS for styling (ensure dark mode is configured)
