I just put together a new video where I show you how to add light and dark modes to your website with DaisyUI and Next.js. It's pretty straightforward and could be a nice addition to any project you're working on!

Key Highlights:

  • DaisyUI's Flexibility: Discover how DaisyUI's theme system can be dynamically manipulated to switch between light and dark modes (or any theme).
  • Next.js and Cookies: Learn the nuts and bolts of using cookies() from next/headers to get and set user theme preferences.
  • Don't use 'document.cookie' on the client: Learn why it might be better for client components to retrieve cookie data from the server instead of 'document.cookie'.

If you're interested in making your sites more user-friendly or just love diving into new web dev techniques, this might be up your alley. Check out the video and let me know what you think! I'm all ears for feedback or any questions you might have. Let's keep learning and building awesome stuff together.

Catch you in the comments or the next video!
