So I am creating a web app that supports dark mode.
If the device prefers dark mode by default, it will use the dark mode by the media query @media (prefers-color-scheme: dark)
.
But I also want to have a feature that users can manually switch to dark mode by adding an attribute to the body: data-theme="dark"
.
So I tried this:
// ...
.ChatScreen {
background-color: #eee;
}
@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark), body[data-theme="dark"] {
.ChatScreen {
background-color: #000;
}
}
It gives me this error while compiling:
Failed to compile.

-------------------------------------^
How can I achieve this without duplicate these codes?
@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) {
body {
&[data-theme="dark"] {
.ChatScreen {
background-color: #000;
}
}
}
}
You can look at sass mixins and define your dark styling and then include that rule wherever you need.
Edit
@mixin dark-theme {
.ChatScreen {
background-color: #000;
}
}
@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) {
@include dark-theme;
}
body {
&[data-theme="dark"] {
@include dark-theme;
}
}
