JavaScript toggle button problem with reverting back to original CSS variable values

Solution 1:

So to me this looks like you are toggling between a dark/light mode. There are a ton of tutorials out there on this but this is the basics of it.

const button = document.querySelector('button')

button.addEventListener('click', toggleTheme)

function toggleTheme() {

    if (document.body.getAttribute('data-theme') === 'light') {
        document.body.setAttribute('data-theme', 'dark')
    } else {
        document.body.setAttribute('data-theme', 'light')
    }
}
    :root {
      --bg-color:  #040d14;
      --text-color:  #f0f4f6;
      --border-color: #30363a;
      --highlight-color: #00c805; 
      --secondary-bg-color:#1e2124;
    }

    [data-theme="light"] {
        --bg-color:  #f7f7f7;
        --text-color:  #333;
        --border-color: #040d14;
        --highlight-color: #ebecec; 
        --secondary-bg-color:#1e2124;
    }
    
    
   .container {
       background-color: var(--bg-color);
       height: 200px;
       color: var(--text-color);
       border: 1px solid var(--border-color);
   }
<div class="container">
   Stuff
</div>

<button>Toggle</button>
