How to build a dark mode toggle with CSS and Javascript

Hello friends 👋, after being asked many times how to make a dark mode toggle, I have decided to write this step-by-step tutorial with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

To follow this tutorial, you need two things installed on your laptop.

  • A web browser: Google Chrome, Firefox, or any other web browser.

  • A text editor: the most famous developer text editor is VScode, but you can use any text editor.
