Dark Mode Constants?
Hi!
I have some cards with custom background colors. I wanted to change them alongside a darkmode toggle; what's the easiest way I could go about this? i.e, is there background constants i can use?

To implement a dark mode toggle in your application, you can use context to manage the theme state. This can be done by creating a context that holds the current theme state and a function to toggle it.
Here's an example of how you can create such a context:
(Source: Refine Docs (https://refine.dev/docs/api-reference/mui/theming))
In your components, you can use the
useContext
hook to access the current theme and apply different styles based on the theme. For example, you can have different background colors for your cards based on the current theme.
Unfortunately, the extracts do not provide specific information on background constants you can use. However, you can define these constants in your theme and use them in your components.
Remember to wrap your application with the ColorModeContextProvider
in your main component (usually App.tsx
) to provide the context to all components in your application.

@kapa.ai If i want to change the color of a component based on whether the app is in dark mode, how can I do that in Ant Design?
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:

To change the color of a component based on whether the app is in dark mode in Ant Design, you can use the
ConfigProvider
component to change the theme. You can also use RefineThemes
provided by refine.
Here's an example of how you can use ConfigProvider
to customize the theme:
(Source: Refine Docs (https://refine.dev/docs/api-reference/antd/theming))
In this example, the ConfigProvider
component is used to customize the theme. The theme
prop is an object that defines the styles for different components and tokens. You can customize this object to change the styles based on whether the app is in dark mode.
You can also use predefined themes from RefineThemes
:

In this example, the Blue
theme from RefineThemes
is used. You can switch between different themes from RefineThemes
based on whether the app is in dark mode.
