Attributes

visible

Represents whether the password text is currently visible. Adding or removing it will change the visibility, and changes caused by other mechanisms (such as the user clicking the toggle) will be reflected in the attribute.

Properties

visible

Read-write boolean property representing the same value as the visible attribute. There is no toggle() method, but you can easily do the following to perform a toggle in JavaScript:

showPassword.visible = !showPassword.visible;

Events

show-password-toggle

Fired on the <show-password> element when the visibility has been toggled. If canceled, the toggle will not occur.

Behaviors

Behaviors can be assigned to descendants of <show-password> using the data-behavior attribute, enabling you to bring your own markup and hook it up to the element’s built-in behaviors.

toggle

When clicked, toggles visible on and off. The toggle element will also have its aria-pressed attribute toggled between true and false to reflect the current state for assistive technology.

show

When clicked, sets visible to true.

hide

When clicked, sets visible to false.
