Motivation
Users of mode-watcher in CSR/SPA contexts (SvelteKit with
ssr: false, Vite SPAs, static sites) can experience FOUC because JavaScript runs after initial paint—unless you add a script manually into the head tag of app.html.The existing
createInitialModeExpressionutility relies on server hooks, which don't run when serving prerendered or static pages. This guide documents the recommended inline script pattern for those cases.What's Included
guides/csr-spa-fouc.mdcovering the inline script solutioncreateInitialModeExpressionpagesWhy Not CSS-Only?
CSS media queries (
prefers-color-scheme) only see OS preference—not the user's stored choice inlocalStorage. If a user chose dark mode but their OS is light, they still get FOUC.References
