MUI Switch Colours

If you're using MUI (Material-UI) in your project, you might want to customize the colors of the Switch component. There are a few ways to do this:

1. Overriding Styles

You can override the styles of the Switch component using the makeStyles function from @material-ui/styles.

import { makeStyles } from '@material-ui/styles';
import Switch from '@material-ui/core/Switch';

const useStyles = makeStyles({
  switchBase: {
    color: 'white',
    '&$checked': {
      color: 'green',
    },
    '&$checked + $track': {
      backgroundColor: 'green',
    },
  },
  checked: {},
  track: {},
});

function CustomSwitch(props) {
  const classes = useStyles();
  return (
    <Switch classes={{ switchBase: classes.switchBase, checked: classes.checked, track: classes.track }} {...props} />
  );
}

In this example, we're overriding the colors of the Switch component to make the base color white, the checked color green, and the track background color green when checked.

2. Theme Customization

You can also customize the theme of your entire app using MUI's theme customization feature. You can add a new color to the theme and use it to style the Switch component.

import { createMuiTheme, ThemeProvider } from '@material-ui/core/styles';
import Switch from '@material-ui/core/Switch';

const theme = createMuiTheme({
  palette: {
    primary: {
      main: '#00695c',
    },
  },
});

function CustomSwitch(props) {
  return (
    <ThemeProvider theme={theme}>
      <Switch color="primary" {...props} />
    </ThemeProvider>
  );
}

In this example, we're adding a new primary color to the theme with the value of "#00695c". We're then using this color to style the Switch component by setting the color prop to "primary".

3. Inline Styles

You can also use inline styles to customize the Switch component. This is not recommended as it can make your code harder to maintain, but it can be useful for quick prototyping.

import Switch from '@material-ui/core/Switch';

function CustomSwitch(props) {
  return (
    <Switch style={{ color: 'green' }} {...props} />
  );
}

In this example, we're setting the color of the Switch component to green using inline styles.

These are three ways to customize the colors of the Switch component in MUI. You can choose the one that best fits your needs.
