Turn Cursor Effect on/off with a toggle switch?

I am making my portfolio website currently. I have added a flashlight cursor effect from (https://codemyui.com/flashlight-mouse-pointer/). I have also added a toggle switch from codemyui also. I am wondering if anyone knows how to link the effect & toggle together so that when I press the switch – the cursor effect turns off?

THANKS !!

Answer

What you need is set a new class on <html> element when toggle switch is on and apply torch effect only when such class is present:

function update(e)
{
  var x = e.touches ? e.touches[0].clientX : e.clientX;
  var y = e.touches ? e.touches[0].clientY : e.clientY;

  document.documentElement.style.setProperty('--cursorX', x + 'px')
  document.documentElement.style.setProperty('--cursorY', y + 'px')
}

document.addEventListener('mousemove',update)
document.addEventListener('touchmove',update)

const torchInput = document.getElementById("torch");
torchInput.addEventListener("input", torchToggle);
function torchToggle()
{
  document.documentElement.classList.toggle("torch", torchInput.checked);
}

torchToggle();
/* Flashlight Overlay */
:root.torch {
  cursor: none;
  --cursorX: 50vw;
  --cursorY: 50vh;
}
:root.torch:before {
  content: '';
  display: block;
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
  position: fixed;
  pointer-events: none;
  background: radial-gradient(
    circle 10vmax at var(--cursorX) var(--cursorY),
    rgba(0,0,0,0) 0%,
    rgba(0,0,0,.5) 80%,
    rgba(0,0,0,.95) 100%
  )
}
