HTML Code
First, add HTML. Make sure it includes .html extension. For example PasswordGenerator.html .

 <!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8" />
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" />
  </head>

  <div class="all">
    <div class="container">
        <input type="checkbox" id="toggle">
    </div>

    <p>
        Lorem30
    </p>
   </div>

    <script src="script.js"></script>
  </body>
</html>

CSS Code
Let's add some CSS.

*{
    padding: 0;
    margin: 0;
    box-sizing: border-box;
}
body{
    padding: 30px;
}
.all{
  width: 400px;
  margin: 40px auto;
}
.container{
    width: 100%;
    height: 40px;
    margin-bottom: 20px;
    position: relative;
}
#toggle{
    -webkit-appearance: none;
    appearance: none;
    height: 32px;
    width: 65px;
    background-color: #15181f;
    position: absolute;
    right: 0;
    border-radius: 20px;
    outline: none;
    cursor: pointer;
}
#toggle:after{
    content: "";
    position: absolute;
    height: 24px;
    width: 24px;
    background-color: #ffffff;
    top: 5px;
    left: 7px;
    border-radius: 50%;
}
p{
    font-family: "Open Sans",sans-serif;
    line-height: 35px;
    padding: 10px;
    text-align: justify;
    }
.dark-theme{
    background-color: #15181f;
    color: #e5e5e5;
}
.dark-theme #toggle{
    background-color: #ffffff;
}
.dark-theme #toggle:after{
    background-color: transparent;
    box-shadow: 10px 10px #15181f;
    top: -4px;
    left: 30px;
}

JavaScript Code
JavaScript would be doing the main work, it will change the theme when the toggle button will be clicked. We have linked the CSS codes of the dark mode added above in the switch.

    document.getElementById("toggle").addEventListener("click", function()
{
    document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0].classList.toggle("dark-theme");
});
