ToggleButton

<ToggleButton checked="checked" @onchange={{action 'change'}} as |api|>Toggle</ToggleButton>

<ToggleButton /> is a straightforward combination of a <label> and <input type="checkbox" /> to allow you to easily setup CSS based (input:checked ~ *) visual toggling. The body of the component ends up inside the <label>.

Additionally, a clickoutside is currently included, so if the toggle is in an 'on' state, clicking outside the <ToggleButton> itself will un-toggle the component. This could be changed in a future version for this to be configurable/preventable and/or use/rely on a modifer instead.

Arguments

Argument/AttributeTypeDefaultDescription
checkedBooleanfalseThe default value of the toggle on/off (true/false)
onchangeFunctionThe action to fire when the data changes. Emits an Event-like object with a target that is a reference to the underlying standard DOM input element.

Methods/Actions/api

Method/ActionDescription
clickFire a click event on the ToggleButton/input which reverse the state of the toggle.

Example

Here is an example of a simple CSS based dropdown menu. Note: The general sibling selector (~) should be used as the label/button itself is the adjacent sibling (+).

handlebars
<div class="menu">
  <ToggleButton>
	  Open Menu
  </ToggleButton>
  <ul>
    <li><a href="">Link 1</a></li>
    <li><a href="">Link 2</a></li>
  </ul>
</div>
css
.menu input ~ ul {
  display: none;
}
.menu input:checked ~ ul {
  display: block;
}
