Set up the Flowbite Provider

To use it, wrap the root component with the FlowbiteProvider, and specify the wanted toast position and theme.

Actual available colors theme are : blue, green, red, pink and purple

Available toast positions are : top-right, top-left, bottom-right, bottom-left

If you use dark theme, also add FlowbiteProviderHeader into your head element

tsx


<QwikCityProvider>
<head>
  <RouterHead />
  // Add the FlowbiteProviderHeader to the head
  <FlowbiteProviderHeader />
</head>
<body>
  // Add the FlowbiteProvider to the body
  <FlowbiteProvider toastPosition={toastPosition.value} theme="blue">
    <RouterOutlet />
  </FlowbiteProvider>
</body>
</QwikCityProvider>

Toggle Dark mode

To use dark mode, we provide a composable useDark that you can use to toggle the dark mode.

Here is an example of Dark mode Toggle

tsx


const { isDark, setDarkModeValue } = useDarkMode()

<Button
  square
  color="light"
  title="Toggle dark mode"
  onClick$={() => {
    setDarkModeValue(isDark.value ? 'light' : 'dark')
  }}
>
  {isDark.value ? <IconSunOutline class="h-4 w-4" /> : <IconMoonOutline class="h-4 w-4" />}
</Button>

Add style to setup your dark mode

css


.dark {
  color-scheme: dark;
  background: #111827;
}
.light {
  color-scheme: light;
  background: #fff;
}
