State Button Simple

The State Button Simple is a basic example of how to use the State Button Component. This button is designed to display the current state. By default, the button can take the following states:

successful
activity
failed

If you want to use other states, you must define them beforehand.

The button state can be changed to the desired state by setting the state using the setState() method.

Javascript

import '@schukai/monster/source/components/form/state-button.mjs';


const stateButton = document.querySelector('monster-state-button');

stateButton.addEventListener('click', async () => {
    stateButton.setState('activity');
    await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 2000));
    stateButton.setState('successful');
    await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 2000));
});

Stylesheet

/** no additional stylesheet is defined **/

Component Design

This component is built using the Shadow DOM, which allows it to encapsulate its internal structure and styling. By using a shadow root, the component's internal elements are isolated from the rest of the webpage, ensuring that external styles or scripts cannot accidentally modify its internal layout or behavior.

Shadow DOM and Accessibility

Since the component is encapsulated within a shadow root, direct access to its internal elements is restricted. This means that developers cannot manipulate or style these elements from outside the component. The Shadow DOM helps maintain consistency in the design and behavior of the component by preventing external interference.

Customizing Through Exported Parts

While the Shadow DOM restricts direct access to the component's internal structure, customization is still possible through exported parts. Specific parts of the component are made accessible for styling by being explicitly marked for export. These exported parts can be targeted and customized using CSS, allowing you to modify the appearance of the component without compromising its encapsulation.

Available Part Attributes

control: This part represents the entire control area of the slider, including navigation buttons and thumbnails. Use this to style the general layout and background of the control panel.

Below is an example of how to use CSS part attributes to customize different parts of the Control.


monster-component::part(control) {
    background-color: #f0f0f0;
    padding: 10px;
}

Explanation of the Example

monster-slider::part(control): Styles the entire control panel, giving it a light background color and some padding.

Accessibility

Accessibility is a key consideration in the design of this component. By following best practices for web accessibility, the component ensures that users of all abilities can interact with it effectively. This includes support for keyboard navigation, screen readers, and other assistive technologies to provide an inclusive user experience.
