Theming Documentation

Overview

Theming allows you to customize the appearance of your Next.js admin template to match your brand identity or personal preferences. With the DaisyUI theming approach, you can choose from a wide range of predefined themes or create your own custom themes to style your application.

Implementation

To implement theming in your Next.js admin template, follow these steps:

1. Install Dependencies: Ensure that you have the necessary dependencies installed in your project. In this case, you're using the next-themes (opens in a new tab) package for theming.

   npm install next-themes

2. Create Theme Provider Component: Create a ThemeProvider component that wraps your application and provides access to theme-related functionality. This component will use the ThemeProvider and useTheme hooks provided by next-themes (opens in a new tab).

   import { ThemeProvider, useTheme } from "next-themes";
   import React from "react";
    
   type Props = {
     children: React.ReactNode;
   };
    
   export function ThemeProviders({ children }: Props) {
     return (
       <ThemeProvider
         themes={[
           "light",
           "dark",
           // Add other predefined themes from DaisyUI
         ]}
         defaultTheme="dark"
       >
         {children}
       </ThemeProvider>
     );
   }
    
   export default ThemeProviders;

3. Use Theme Hook: Use the useTheme hook to access theme-related properties and functionality within your components. This hook provides information about the current theme, available themes, and methods to change the theme.

   import { useTheme } from "next-themes";
    
   const MyComponent = () => {
     const { theme, setTheme } = useTheme();
    
     const toggleTheme = () => {
       setTheme(theme === "light" ? "dark" : "light");
     };
    
     return <button onClick={toggleTheme}>Toggle Theme</button>;
   };
    
   export default MyComponent;

Conclusion

Theming in your Next.js admin template using the DaisyUI theming approach allows you to quickly and easily customize the appearance of your application. By leveraging predefined themes and the flexibility provided by next-themes (opens in a new tab), you can create a visually appealing and cohesive user experience that aligns with your branding and design preferences.
