Solution for Nuxt Disqus and Tailwind v4 with OKLCH

Recently, I encountered an issue when using Nuxt Disqus and the Disqus iframe in a project that utilizes TailwindCSS v4. This issue arises because Tailwind v4 uses colors in the oklch format, which breaks JavaScript style analysis and causes exceptions.

The Problem

Disqus uses getComputedStyle to determine whether to render the light or dark version of the iframe. However, with Tailwind v4, colors in the oklch format are not compatible with JavaScript style analysis, leading to errors.

The Solution

Thanks to JavaScript's flexibility, we can override the getComputedStyle method to handle oklch values and prevent exceptions. Here is the code I used to solve the issue:

// Save the original getComputedStyle function
const originalGetComputedStyle = window.getComputedStyle;

// Override getComputedStyle
window.getComputedStyle = function (element, pseudoElt) {
  const styles = originalGetComputedStyle(element, pseudoElt);

  // Return a proxy to intercept calls to getPropertyValue
  return new Proxy(styles, {
    get(target, prop) {
      if (prop === 'getPropertyValue') {
        return (property) => {
          const value = target.getPropertyValue(property);
          // Replace "oklch" values or handle them as needed
          if (value.includes('oklch')) {
            if (document.documentElement.classList.contains("dark")) {
              return 'black';
            }
            return 'white';
          }
          return value;
        };
      }
      return target[prop];
    },
  });
};

Alternatives

There are other solutions to this problem, such as manually changing the background colors in the Disqus iframe. You can find more information in these links:

Conclusion

This solution allowed me to maintain compatibility with Tailwind v4 without needing to directly modify the background colors. I hope this alternative is helpful for other developers facing the same issue.
