Measured entry

ruixen-animated-theme-toggler

switchunclassifiedmotion on file

A client-side React button that morphs an inline SVG between sun and moon states, toggles the document root's dark class, and can synthesize a click sound with the Web Audio API. It ships as a shadcn registry item but uses no shadcn primitives; its only added package dependency is Motion.

Verdict

A polished morph with clean standalone mounting, but it is best as a starting point rather than a complete theme system. Use it when root-class toggling matches your architecture, then add focus styling and connect persistence if needed.

Use it if

  • Your theme is controlled by a dark class on the document root.
  • Motion is already in the app, or the animated icon justifies adding it.
  • You want a compact icon-only control with optional interaction sound.

Skip it if

  • Your theme state is owned by a provider that must handle persistence, system preference, or cross-tab updates.
  • You need a visible keyboard focus treatment without modifying the component's outline styles.
  • Adding Motion for a single theme icon is not worth the dependency cost.
  • Your interface must avoid audio by default unless you remember to disable the sound prop.

In a non-shadcn React project, add Motion, copy the client component, and ensure your dark-theme CSS responds to the document root's dark class. Add your own persistence or provider synchronization, restore a visible focus style, and disable sound when audio is inappropriate.
