deliteful/ToggleButton

require(["deliteful/ToggleButton"], function (ToggleButton) {
  new ToggleButton();
});

A 2-states toggle button widget that represents a form-aware 2-states (pressed or unpressed) button with optional icons and labels for each state.

A toggle button can display a different label depending on its state. By default, the label specified inline in the markup or via the 'label' property is displayed whatever the state is. It is however possible to set a label specific to the checked state via the 'checkedLabel' property.

Similarly, a toggle button can display a different icon depending on its state. By default, the css class specified by the 'iconClass' property is applied whatever the state is. However, a css class specific to the checked state can be specified via the 'checkedIconClass' property.

Examples

Creating a checked toggle button

<d-button is="d-toggle-button" checked="true">Foo</button>

Specify a label for the checked state

<d-button is="d-toggle-button" checked="true" checkedLabel="On">Off</button>

Specify an icon for the checked state

<style>
 .iconOn {
   background-image: url('images/on.png');
   width: 16px;
   height: 16px;
 }
</style>
<d-button is="d-toggle-button" checked="true" checkedIconClass="iconOn">Off</button>

<protected> setClassComponent(component, value, node)

Helper method to set a class (or classes) on a given node, removing the class (or classes) set by the previous call to setClassComponent() for the specified component and node. Used mainly by template.js to set classes without overwriting classes set by the user or other code (ex: CssState).

<protected> setOrRemoveAttribute(node, name, value)

Helper method to set/remove an attribute based on the given value:

  • If value is undefined, the attribute is removed. Useful for attributes like aria-valuenow.
  • If value is boolean, the attribute is set to "true" or "false". Useful for attributes like aria-selected.

startup()

Processing after the DOM fragment is added to the document.

Called after a widget and its children have been created and added to the page, and all related widgets have finished their create() cycle, up through postCreate().

Note that startup() may be called while the widget is still hidden, for example if the widget is inside a hidden deliteful/Dialog or an unselected tab of a deliteful/TabContainer. For widgets that need to do layout, it's best to put that layout code inside resize(), and then extend delite/LayoutWidget so that resize() is called when the widget is visible.
