Overview

A <sp-action-bar> delivers a floating action bar that is a convenient way to deliver stateful actions in cases like selection mode. <sp-action-bar> can be deployed in two variants beyond the default: [varient="fixed"] to position the element in relation to the page, and [variant=sticky] to position the content in relation to content that may scroll.

Usage

yarn add @spectrum-web-components/action-bar

Import the side effectful registration of <sp-action-bar> via:

import '@spectrum-web-components/action-bar/sp-action-bar.js';

When looking to leverage the ActionBar base class as a type and/or for extension purposes, do so via:

import { ActionBar } from '@spectrum-web-components/action-bar';

Example

<sp-action-bar open>
  2 selected
  <sp-action-button slot="buttons" label="Edit">
    <sp-icon-edit slot="icon"></sp-icon-edit>
  </sp-action-button>
  <sp-action-button slot="buttons" label="More">
    <sp-icon-more slot="icon"></sp-icon-more>
  </sp-action-button>
</sp-action-bar>

Emphasized

Use the emphasized attribute to add priority to the information that is delivered within your <sp-action-bar> element:

<sp-action-bar emphasized open>
  2 selected
  <sp-action-button slot="buttons" label="Edit">
    <sp-icon-edit slot="icon"></sp-icon-edit>
  </sp-action-button>
  <sp-action-button slot="buttons" label="More">
    <sp-icon-more slot="icon"></sp-icon-more>
  </sp-action-button>
</sp-action-bar>

Variants

Fixed

When using [variant="fixed"], the <sp-action-bar> will display by default at the bottom left of the window and can be customized via CSS from the outside.

<h4>Look down and to the left when toggling.</h4>
<sp-button
  onclick="javascript:this.nextElementSibling.open = !this.nextElementSibling.open;"
>
  Toggle fixed action bar
</sp-button>
<sp-action-bar variant="fixed">2 selected</sp-action-bar>

Sticky

When using [variant="sticky"], be sure you've spent some time touching up on how sticky really works to ensure the most successful delivery of your content.

<section style="position: relative; max-height: 6em; overflow: auto;">
  <h4>Scroll down for toggle button</h4>
