Switch Button
A theme-toggle button that switches the `next-themes` theme between `dark` and `light`. It combines a rotating sun icon with an optional animated theme label and a polished, gradient-based minimal style.

Usage
usage.tsx
import SwitchButton from "@/components/kokonutui/switch-button";export function ThemeControl() { return <SwitchButton />;}- Offer a one-click light/dark theme toggle in a header, toolbar, or settings area.
- Use when a compact, decorative control fits better than a larger theme menu.
- Hide the label with `showLabel={false}` when space is limited, while providing an accessible name.
API reference
PropTypeDefaultDescription
variant"minimal""minimal"Selects the button style. The only supported value is `minimal`.
size"sm" | "default" | "lg""default"Sets the button padding and height, and the sun icon size.
showLabelbooleantrueShows or hides the animated Light/Dark label.
...propsReact.ButtonHTMLAttributes<HTMLButtonElement>—Other native button attributes are forwarded to the underlying Button. `className` is merged with the component styles. Because `...props` follows the component's `onClick`, a supplied `onClick` replaces the theme-toggle handler.
Accessibility
- The control renders a native button and accepts native button attributes such as `aria-label`, `aria-pressed`, and `type`.
- The component does not set an accessible name or toggle-state attribute itself. With `showLabel={false}`, provide an `aria-label`; consider supplying `aria-pressed` if your UI needs to expose the current toggle state.
- The source sets `onClick` to toggle the theme, but a caller-provided `onClick` overrides it because forwarded props are spread afterward.
- Use the component within a `next-themes` ThemeProvider so `useTheme` can read and update the theme.
