npm i @accessible/toggle-button
An accessible two-state button that can be either off (not pressed) or on (pressed). Common use cases are toolbar buttons like Bold, Italic, and Underline. In addition to following the accessibility guidelines here, this component provides interop between real <button>
elements and faux <div>
, <a>
, <span>
, et. al. buttons.
Check out the example on CodeSandbox
import * as React from 'react' import {ToggleButton, useA11yToggleButton} from '@accessible/toggle-button' const Component = () => { const [muted, setMuted] = React.useState(false) return ( <ToggleButton active={muted} onChange={setMuted}> <span>{muted ? 'Unmute' : 'Mute'}</span> </ToggleButton> ) } const ComponentWithHook = () => { const ref = React.useRef(null) const [muted, setMuted] = React.useState(false) const a11yProps = useA11yToggleButton(ref, { active: muted, onChange: setMuted, }) return ( <button ref={ref} {...a11yProps}> <span>{muted ? 'Unmute' : 'Mute'}</span> </button> ) }
A React hook for creating a headless a11y toggle button to the W3C accessibility standard. In addition to providing accessibility props to your component, this hook will add events for interoperability between actual <button>
elements and fake ones e.g. <a>
and <div>
to the target
element.
