## Components

You can mix and match components to build your own UI.

### ColorModeButton

You can easily build a color mode button by using the `useColorMode` composable from `@nuxtjs/color-mode`.

::component-example
#default
:color-mode-button

#code
```vue [components/ColorModeButton.vue]
<script setup>
const colorMode = useColorMode()

const isDark = computed({
  get () {
    return colorMode.value === 'dark'
  },
  set () {
    colorMode.preference = colorMode.value === 'dark' ? 'light' : 'dark'
  }
})
</script>

<template>
  <ClientOnly>
    <UButton
      :icon="isDark ? 'i-heroicons-moon-20-solid' : 'i-heroicons-sun-20-solid'"
      color="gray"
      variant="ghost"
      aria-label="Theme"
      @click="isDark = !isDark"
    />

    <template #fallback>
      <div class="w-8 h-8" />
    </template>
  </ClientOnly>
</template>
```

### DatePicker

Here is an example of a date picker component built with [v-calendar](https://github.com/nathanreyes/v-calendar).

```vue [components/DatePicker.vue]
<script setup lang="ts">
import { DatePicker as VCalendarDatePicker } from 'v-calendar'
import 'v-calendar/dist/style.css'

const props = defineProps({
  modelValue: {
    type: Date,
    default: null
  }
})

const emit = defineEmits(['update:model-value', 'close'])

const colorMode = useColorMode()

const isDark = computed(() => colorMode.value === 'dark')

const date = computed({
  get: () => props.modelValue,
  set: (value) => {
    emit('update:model-value', value)
    emit('close')
  }
})

const attrs = [{
  key: 'today',
  highlight: {
    color: 'blue',
    fillMode: 'outline',
    class: '!bg-gray-100 dark:!bg-gray-800'
  },
  dates: new Date()
}]
</script>

<template>
  <VCalendarDatePicker
    v-model="date"
    transparent
    borderless
    :attributes="attrs"
    :is-dark="isDark"
    title-position="left"
    trim-weeks
    :first-day-of-week="2"
  />
</template>
```

You can use it inside a [Popover](/overlays/popover) component to display it when clicking on a [Button](/elements/button).

::component-example
#default
:date-picker-example

#code
```vue
<script setup>
const date = ref(new Date())

const label = computed(() => date.value.toLocaleDateString('en-us', { weekday: 'long', year: 'numeric', month: 'short', day: 'numeric' })
)
</script>

<template>
  <UPopover :popper="{ placement: 'bottom-start' }">
    <UButton icon="i-heroicons-calendar-days-20-solid" :label="label" />

    <template #panel="{ close }">
      <DatePicker v-model="date" @close="close" />
    </template>
  </UPopover>
</template>
```
