darkmode-webview

iOS Swift app that loads html inside WKWbView and has a darkmode toggle

Using this tutorial I implemented the effect with mix-blend-mode: difference.

Inject multiple WKUserScript in the webiew at document start and document end:

JavaScript file with toggle function at document start
Inject div container with background and blender that will make the blend difference (at document end)

Inside style tags contents of CSS file at document end

let webConfiguration = WKWebViewConfiguration()
let contentController = WKUserContentController()

// Libray script an document start
let darkModeScript = WKUserScript(source: self.darkModeLibraryJS, injectionTime: WKUserScriptInjectionTime.atDocumentStart, forMainFrameOnly: false)
contentController.addUserScript(darkModeScript)

let injectDarkModeScript = WKUserScript(source: self.injectDarkModeJS, injectionTime: WKUserScriptInjectionTime.atDocumentEnd, forMainFrameOnly: false)
contentController.addUserScript(injectDarkModeScript)

let injectCSScript = WKUserScript(source: self.injectCSS, injectionTime: WKUserScriptInjectionTime.atDocumentEnd, forMainFrameOnly: false)
contentController.addUserScript(injectCSScript)

webConfiguration.userContentController = contentController

self.webview = WKWebView(frame: CGRect.zero, configuration: webConfiguration)
self.webview?.navigationDelegate = self
self.view.addSubview(webview!)

self.webview!.loadHTMLString(html, baseURL: nil)

JavaScript with toggle function and inject CSS (darkmode.js)

function injectCSS(css) {
    head = document.head || document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0],
    style = document.createElement('style');
    head.appendChild(style);

    style.type = 'text/css';
    if (style.styleSheet){
         // This is required for IE8 and below.
        style.styleSheet.cssText = css;
    } else {
        style.appendChild(document.createTextNode(css));
    }
 }

 function showDarkMode() {
     var blender = document.getElementById('blender')
     if (blender.hasAttribute("hidden")) {
         blender.removeAttribute("hidden")
     }
  }

 function showOriginalMode() {
     var blender = document.getElementById('blender')

     if (!blender.hasAttribute("hidden")) {
         blender.setAttribute("hidden", true)
     }
 }

JavaScript with adding div container to DOM of the webview (inject-darkmode.js)

var container = document.createElement('div')
container.id = 'darkmode-container'
document.body.appendChild(container)

var background = document.createElement('div')
background.classList.add('darkmode-background')
container.appendChild(background)

var blender = document.createElement('div')
blender.id = 'blender'
blender.setAttribute('hidden', true)
container.appendChild(blender)

CSS for defining blender and background (darkmode.css)

#blender {
    width: 100vw;
    height: 100vh;
    left: 0pt;
    top: 0pt;
    position: fixed;
    background: white;
    transition: all 1s ease;
    mix-blend-mode: difference;
 }

 img {
     isolation: isolate;
 }

 .darkmode-background {
     position: fixed;
     background: white;
     top: 0;
     left: 0;
     width: 100vw;
     height: 100vh;
     z-index: -1;
 }
