Add button to switch between light and dark mode using two prefers-color-scheme

I have created a page with complex design and different background colors and I decided to add a button to let users switch between light and dark mode

I've tried different solutions with JS, but with no success. The current workaround I use is adding two media in my CSS file. Basically, if my website appearance is set to Dark, the page will also load dark-styled theme, and Light for Browser Light Appearance.

@media screen and (prefers-color-scheme: dark)
@media screen and (prefers-color-scheme: light)

Question is: How can I let users manually change between dark-light color-schemes manually with a button using vanilla Javascript? (not with the checkbox) P.s. Maybe I could somehow implement this with var(--rule) in CSS but I'm still new to this stuff and I have almost zero JS knowledge

For example:

@media screen and (prefers-color-scheme: dark) {
    p, h2 {
        color: #e7e7e7;
    }
@media screen and (prefers-color-scheme: light) {
    p, h2 {
        color: #333333;
    }

html button (i class/button is a placeholder)

<div class="dark-mode-container">
  <div id="dark-mode-btn">
  <button class="theme-switch">test</button>
  <i class="fa-solid fa-moon" title="Switch to Dark mode"></i>
</div>

Here is my button inside sticky nav which I plan to use to switch modes dark mode button inside nav bar

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? [closed]

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? public fucntion __construct(Application $app, $Router $roouter) { } I have read the documentation and some online tutorial but I can find any clear explanation. I am learning Laravel and I am wondering where does this kernel constructor receives its arguments from. "POSTMOTERM" CLARIFICATION: Here is more clarity.I have checked the boostrap/app.php and it is only used for boostrapping the interfaces into the container class. What is not clear to me is where and how the Kernel class is instatiated and the arguments passed to the object calling the constructor.Something similar to; obj = new kernel(arg1,arg2) or, is the framework using some magic functions somewhere? Special gratitude to those who burn their eyeballs and brain cells on this trivia before it goes into a full blown menopause alias "MARKED AS DUPLICATE". To some of the itchy-finger keyboard warriors, a.k.a The mods,because I believe in th...
