Implementing Dark Mode in NextJS14 with Tailwind CSS

Implementing Dark Mode with Tailwind CSS and Next.js is straightforward. You can utilize Tailwind CSS's built-in dark mode feature along with Next.js's dynamic routing to achieve this. Here's how you can do it:

1. Create a Next.js Project:

If you haven't already, create a new Next.js project using the following command:

npx create-next-app my-next-app

2. Install Tailwind CSS:

Navigate to your project directory and install Tailwind CSS along with autoprefixer and postcss:

npm install tailwindcss postcss autoprefixer

3. Create Tailwind Configuration:

Generate a default Tailwind configuration file:

npx tailwindcss init -p

4. Enable Dark Mode in Tailwind Configuration:

In your tailwind.config.js, set the darkMode property to 'class':

Loading code editor...

5. Create CSS File:

Create a CSS file where you'll import Tailwind CSS and define additional styles, including those for dark mode:

Loading code editor...

6. Import CSS in layout

Loading code editor...

7. Install next-themes:

npm install next-themes

8. Create a theme-provider:

Create a theme-provider.tsx components inside the components or app folder:

Loading code editor...

9. Create a theme-switcher component:

Loading code editor...

This setup will enable dark mode in your Next.js project using Tailwind CSS. You can customize the dark mode styles further based on your requirements
