# Design Components Migration

## Implementation Changes

### Theme Toggle Component
**From:** Custom JavaScript implementation
**To:** Livewire component

**Rationale for Change:**
1. Follows Laravel/Livewire best practices
2. Eliminates custom JavaScript code
3. Better state management through Livewire
4. Maintains feature parity while using framework features

**Implementation Details:**
- Uses Livewire state management for theme preference
- Leverages Laravel session for persistence
- Maintains same UI/UX as Django version
- Uses Alpine.js transitions for smooth UI updates

### Mobile Menu Component
**From:** Custom JavaScript implementation
**To:** Livewire component

**Rationale for Change:**
1. Aligns with framework-first approach
2. Reduces maintenance overhead
3. Consistent state management
4. Better integration with Laravel ecosystem

**Implementation Details:**
- State managed through Livewire
- Transitions handled by Alpine.js
- Maintains mobile-first approach
- Preserves all original functionality
