Bookmark component

About

Indicates if an item has been bookmarked to a list of favourites or similar. Use vf-button instead of this component for the main call to action on a page.

Usage

This component shows if a piece of content has been selected by a user as a favourite using a text label and icon.

No JavaScript functionality is provided and it is expected that the state handling will be done on a case-by-case basis on the project application.

Use vf-button instead of this component for the main call to action on a page.

Active state

The active state of the icon is managed by adding the class vf-bookmark--active. This class should be added by your framework or sever-side code.

Options

The component can be configured with a number of options.

• bookmark_href: defaults to JavaScript:Void(0);
  • Any url that may be required.
• label_inactive: defaults to Bookmark
• label_active: defaults to Bookmarked
• is_active: defaults to true
  • true or false
  • sets vf-bookmark--active CSS class
  • determines the appropriate label_inactive or label_active
• modifier: defaults to inline
  • inline or button or small
• icon: defaults to heart

Accessibility

This component targets WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility.

Note that the SVG icons use aria-hidden="true" as to be ignored by screen readers.
