Switching between light mode and dark mode in SQLPage

This is a demo of a light/dark background toggle mecanism for websites built with SQLpage.

This example demonstrates:

• how to give the same header, footer, and style to all your pages using the dynamic component and the run_sql function.
• how to use the theme property of the shell component.
• how to store and reuse persistent user-specific preferences using cookies.

Installation

The SQL backend to this is SQLite, so the installation is easy:

1. Install SQLpage

2. Clone SQLpage''s repository: git clone https://github.com/sqlpage/SQLPage.git

3. cd to SQLpage/examples/light-dark-toggle and run sqlpage in the cloned directory

4. Open a browser window to http://localhost:5005

Usage

The initial background theme is light. To switch to dark mode, click on the '' ☀ '' symbol on the right of the top menu bar. Click on the same symbol to switch back to light mode.

I have included some dummy pages under a mock ''Categories'' menu to show that the ''light'' or ''dark'' setting is kept between pages. This is done by setting and reading a cookie called ''lightdarkstatus''.' AS contents_md;
