Taply

Helper for creating tappable components.

It allows to handle pressed, hovered and focused states consistently across different input methods - mouse, touch and keyboard.

• Fixes sticky hover and pressed state for touch
• Prevents focus when using mouse and touch, but still allows to focus using keyboard

Install

npm install taply

Example

import Taply from 'taply'

const tappableElement = (
    <Taply
        onTap={() => console.log('Tap')}
        onChangeTapState={tapState => {
            // tapState is an object with keys 'isHovered', 'isPressed' and 'isFocused'
            this.setState(tapState)
        }}
    >
        <div>Tap me</div>
    </Taply>
)

// Any component can be a child (React components should forward ref to inner DOM-element)
const tappableComponent = (
    <Taply {...props}>
         <SomeComponent />
    </Taply>
)

// Also, you can use function that takes tapState and returns element
const tappableFn = (
    <Taply {...props}>
        {(tapState, ref) => (
            <div style={{ color: tapState.hovered ? 'red' : 'black' }} ref={ref}>Tap me</div>
        )}
    </Taply>
)

Tap state is an object with following properties: isHovered, isPressed and isFocused.

onTap

Type: (event) => void

Tap event handler.

onChangeTapState

Type: (tapState) => void

Handler of state changes.

onTapStart

Type: (tap: object) => void

onTapEnd

Type: (tap: object) => void

onFocus

Type: (event: object) => void

Focus event handler.

onBlur

Type: (event: object) => void

isFocusable

tabIndex

HTML tabindex attribute.

preventFocusOnTap

Taply sets tabIndex and disabled attributes on the html-element. When you have multiple nested Taply components, it is ambigious which one should control attributes, so you can disable it.
