What is the system theme? ​

We have implemented a new feature called system theme in our theme. This feature automatically detects the current theme of the user's operating system and adjusts the template theme accordingly, providing a seamless and cohesive experience.

How it works ​

We can utilize the composable function usePreferredDark from the third-party Vueuse plugin to detect the current system theme preference of the user. The composable returns a boolean value, indicating whether the user prefers a dark theme (true) or a light theme (false). With this information, we can then assign the appropriate theme to Vuetify based on the response of the usePreferredDark composable.

How to get/calculate vuetify theme when system theme is enabled.

console.log(usePreferredDark().value ? 'dark' : 'light' ); // dark/light

Reading theme ​

To get vuetify’s current theme (light/dark), you can use:

const currentTheme = vuetify.theme.global.name.value // light/dark

To get template’s current theme (light/dark/system), you can use:

import { useConfigStore } from '@core/stores/config'

const configStore = useConfigStore()

console.log(configStore.theme); //system/light/dark
