Dark Mode Perfecto: Anti-flicker y Persistencia con Astro

El dark mode se ha vuelto esencial, pero implementarlo sin flash y con persistencia perfecta es más complejo de lo que parece. Te muestro cómo crear un sistema de temas profesional.

El Problema del Flash de Contenido

La mayoría de implementaciones de dark mode sufren del temido flash:

//  Implementación típica con flash
useEffect(() => {
  const theme = localStorage.getItem('theme');
  if (theme === 'dark') {
    document.body.classList.add('dark');
  }
}, []); // Flash inevitable durante hidratación

Problemas comunes:

  • Flash de tema incorrecto al cargar
  • Inconsistencia entre servidor y cliente
  • Pérdida de preferencia del usuario
  • Transiciones bruscas o inexistentes
  • Performance impactada por re-renders

La Solución: SSR Script + CSS Variables

Mi sistema elimina completamente el flash usando un script SSR que se ejecuta antes del render:

// src/features/dark-light-mode/engine/manager.ts
export class ThemeManager {
  private currentTheme: Theme;
  private listeners: Set<ThemeListener> = new Set();
  
  constructor() {
    this.currentTheme = this.getInitialTheme();
    this.init();
  }
  
  private getInitialTheme(): Theme {
    // 1. Verificar localStorage
    if (typeof window !== 'undefined') {
      const stored = localStorage.getItem(THEME_CONFIG.STORAGE_KEY);
      if (stored === 'light' || stored === 'dark') {
        return stored;
      }
    }
    
    // 2. Verificar preferencia del sistema
    if (typeof window !== 'undefined' && window.matchMedia) {
      if (window.matchMedia('(prefers-color-scheme: dark)').matches) {
        return 'dark';
      }
    }
    
    // 3. Fallback al tema por defecto
    return THEME_CONFIG.DEFAULT_THEME;
  }
}

Arquitectura Anti-Flicker

1. Script SSR: Ejecución Inmediata

---
// src/features/dark-light-mode/components/ThemeScript.astro
const script = `(function() {
  const STORAGE_KEY = 'theme-preference';
  const DEFAULT_THEME = 'dark';
  
  if (typeof window === 'undefined' || typeof document === 'undefined') return;
  
  let theme = DEFAULT_THEME;
  
  try {
    const stored = localStorage.getItem(STORAGE_KEY);
    if (stored === 'light' || stored === 'dark') {
      theme = stored;
    }
  } catch (error) {
    console.warn('Theme init: localStorage not available');
  }
  
  // Aplicar tema INMEDIATAMENTE
  const html = document.documentElement;
  if (theme === 'dark') {
    html.classList.add('dark');
  } else {
    html.classList.remove('dark');
  }
  html.setAttribute('data-theme', theme);
})();`;
---

<!-- CRÍTICO: Debe ir temprano en <head> -->
<script is:inline set:html={script}></script>

2. CSS Variables: Transiciones Suaves

/* src/features/dark-light-mode/styles/theme.css */
:root {
  /* Colores base */
  --color-background: #ffffff;
  --color-foreground: #1e293b;
  --color-primary: #3b82f6;
  --color-secondary: #64748b;
  
  /* Transiciones suaves */
  --transition-theme: background-color 0.3s ease, color 0.3s ease, border-color 0.3s ease;
}

.dark {
  --color-background: #0f172a;
  --color-foreground: #f8fafc;
  --color-primary: #60a5fa;
  --color-secondary: #94a3b8;
}

/* Aplicar transiciones a todos los elementos */
*,
*::before,
*::after {
  transition: var(--transition-theme);
}

/* Clases semánticas */
.bg-background { background-color: var(--color-background); }
.text-foreground { color: var(--color-foreground); }
.text-primary { color: var(--color-primary); }
.text-secondary { color: var(--color-secondary); }

3. Theme Toggle: Componente Reactivo

---
// src/features/dark-light-mode/components/ThemeToggle.astro
interface Props {
  size?: 'sm' | 'md' | 'lg';
  class?: string;
}

const { size = 'md', class: className = '' } = Astro.props;

const sizeClasses = {
  sm: 'w-8 h-8 text-sm',
  md: 'w-10 h-10 text-base', 
  lg: 'w-12 h-12 text-lg'
};
---

<button
  id="theme-toggle"
  class={`
    ${sizeClasses[size]}
    ${className}
    relative rounded-lg border border-gray-300 dark:border-gray-600
    bg-white dark:bg-gray-800 
    text-gray-900 dark:text-gray-100
    hover:bg-gray-50 dark:hover:bg-gray-700
    focus:outline-none focus:ring-2 focus:ring-blue-500
    transition-all duration-200
    flex items-center justify-center
  `}
  aria-label="Toggle theme"
  data-theme-toggle
>

</button>

<script>
  import { useTheme } from '../engine/hooks.ts';
  
  // Inicializar theme toggle
  function initThemeToggle() {
    const { toggleTheme, subscribe } = useTheme();
    const button = document.getElementById('theme-toggle');
    
    if (!button) return;
    
    // Manejar click
    button.addEventListener('click', () => {
      toggleTheme();
    });
    
    // Actualizar estado del botón cuando cambie el tema
    subscribe((theme) => {
      button.setAttribute('data-current-theme', theme);
      button.setAttribute('aria-label', `Switch to ${theme === 'dark' ? 'light' : 'dark'} theme`);
    });
  }
  
  // Inicializar cuando el DOM esté listo
  if (document.readyState === 'loading') {
    document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', initThemeToggle);
  } else {
    initThemeToggle();
  }
</script>

Hooks para Reactividad

Hook useTheme: API Simple

// src/features/dark-light-mode/engine/hooks.ts
import { ThemeManager } from './manager.ts';

let themeManager: ThemeManager | null = null;

export function useTheme() {
  if (!themeManager) {
    themeManager = new ThemeManager();
  }
  
  return {
    theme: themeManager.getTheme(),
    setTheme: (theme: Theme) => themeManager!.setTheme(theme),
    toggleTheme: () => themeManager!.toggleTheme(),
    subscribe: (listener: ThemeListener) => themeManager!.subscribe(listener),
    unsubscribe: (listener: ThemeListener) => themeManager!.unsubscribe(listener)
  };
}

// Hook para componentes que necesitan reactividad
export function useThemeReactive() {
  const [theme, setTheme] = useState<Theme>('dark');
  
  useEffect(() => {
    const { theme: currentTheme, subscribe } = useTheme();
    setTheme(currentTheme);
    
    const unsubscribe = subscribe((newTheme) => {
      setTheme(newTheme);
    });
    
    return unsubscribe;
  }, []);
  
  return theme;
}

    });

      const manager = new ThemeManager();
      const listener = vi.fn();
      
      manager.subscribe(listener);
      manager.setTheme('light');
      
      expect(listener).toHaveBeenCalledWith('light');
    });
