Description

Implements dark mode using next-themes (Closes #173).

Changes

  • Install next-themes: Added next-themes@^0.4.6 dependency
  • Providers.tsx: Wrapped children with NextThemesProvider (attribute="class", defaultTheme="light", enableSystem, disableTransitionOnChange)
  • layouts.tsx: Added suppressHydrationWarning to <html> element (required by next-themes)
  • Navbar.tsx: Replaced hand-written useLocalStorage + classList theme toggle with useTheme() from next-themes. Removed the manual dark class management useEffect — next-themes handles this through its FOUC prevention script.
  • ThemeMigration: Added a one-time migration helper in Providers to convert legacy JSON-stringified theme values (stored by the old useLocalStorage hook) to the plain-string format expected by next-themes.

Verification

  • TypeScript: tsc --noEmit passes (only pre-existing sdk errors)
  • ESLint: next lint passes (no errors, only pre-existing warning for marketplace/page.tsx)
  • CSS variables for :root (light) and .dark (dark) were already defined in globals.css
  • tailwind.config.ts already had darkMode: ["class"]
  • The existing dark: Tailwind utility classes throughout the codebase now work out of the box

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added theme management with support for light, dark, and system-based preferences.
    • Preserved existing theme preferences while migrating legacy settings automatically.
    • Reduced visual transitions when switching themes.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved handling of hydration differences during initial page rendering.

…aultLink#173)

Replaces the hand-written theme toggle (useLocalStorage + classList) with
next-themes for a robust, FOUC-free dark mode implementation.

Changes:
- Install next-themes dependency
- Add ThemeProvider wrapping in Providers.tsx with attribute=class
- Add suppressHydrationWarning to root <html> element
- Replace Navbar useLocalStorage theme with useTheme() from next-themes
- Remove manual dark class management useEffect
- Add ThemeMigration component to migrate legacy JSON-stringified theme values
- Config: defaultTheme=light, enableSystem, disableTransitionOnChange

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The frontend now uses next-themes for theme state, persistence, migration, and class-based rendering. The navbar uses provider state for toggling and icons. The root layout suppresses hydration warnings, and dependency declarations are reordered.

Changes

Theme integration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Theme provider and hydration setup
invofi/apps/frontend/package.json, invofi/apps/frontend/src/app/layout.tsx, invofi/apps/frontend/src/components/layout/Providers.tsx
The frontend configures next-themes, migrates valid legacy local-storage values, supports system themes, and suppresses root hydration warnings.
Navbar theme control
invofi/apps/frontend/src/components/layout/Navbar.tsx
The navbar uses useTheme for theme state and updates. Theme icons derive from the active dark-mode state.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 61fa0

The change can leave users with a legacy theme preference in the wrong mode on first load and does not consistently honor or represent system theme selection. These bounded behavior issues should be addressed before merging.

Run the migration before next-themes initializes and synchronize provider state.

next-themes reads the quoted value during provider initialization and in its startup script. ThemeMigration runs only after commit, changes only localStorage, and does not update provider state. A legacy "dark" value can therefore leave the page light until reload.

Move the migration into the pre-initialization path, synchronize provider state, and add a first-load test for legacy "dark".

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Complete system-theme support across the provider and Navbar.

enableSystem is configured, but the provider forces light mode for users without a saved preference and the Navbar does not represent or restore the "system" selection. next-themes separates the selected theme from the resolved system theme. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

  • invofi/apps/frontend/src/components/layout/Providers.tsx#L37-L42: use defaultTheme="system" when no saved preference should follow the operating system.
  • invofi/apps/frontend/src/components/layout/Navbar.tsx#L38-L39: use resolvedTheme for icon state and add a control path for the "system" option.
