Turn Cursor Effect on/off with a toggle switch?


I am making my portfolio website currently. I have added a flashlight cursor effect from (https://codemyui.com/flashlight-mouse-pointer/). I have also added a toggle switch from codemyui also. I am wondering if anyone knows how to link the effect & toggle together so that when I press the switch - the cursor effect turns off?

THANKS !!

Solution

  • What you need is set a new class on <html> element when toggle switch is on and apply torch effect only when such class is present:

    function update(e)
    {
      var x = e.touches ? e.touches[0].clientX : e.clientX;
      var y = e.touches ? e.touches[0].clientY : e.clientY;
    
      document.documentElement.style.setProperty('--cursorX', x + 'px')
      document.documentElement.style.setProperty('--cursorY', y + 'px')
    }
    
    document.addEventListener('mousemove',update)
    document.addEventListener('touchmove',update)
    
    const torchInput = document.getElementById("torch");
    torchInput.addEventListener("input", torchToggle);
    function torchToggle()
    {
      document.documentElement.classList.toggle("torch", torchInput.checked);
    }
    
    torchToggle();
    /* Flashlight Overlay */
    :root.torch {
      cursor: none;
      --cursorX: 50vw;
      --cursorY: 50vh;
    }
    :root.torch:before {
      content: '';
      display: block;
      width: 100%;
      height: 100%;
      position: fixed;
      pointer-events: none;
      background: radial-gradient(
        circle 10vmax at var(--cursorX) var(--cursorY),
        rgba(0,0,0,0) 0%,
        rgba(0,0,0,.5) 80%,
        rgba(0,0,0,.95) 100%
      )
    }
    
    
    
    
    
    
    html {
      box-sizing: border-box;
      font-family: 'Arial', sans-serif;
      font-size: 100%;
    }
    *, *:before, *:after {
      box-sizing: inherit;
      margin:0;
      padding:0;
    }
    .mid {
