| Prop | Type | Note | | :--- |:----------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------:| | options | array | REQUIRED. Array of available options. Each options is expected as string or object | | disabled | Boolean | Disabled roller move and other option selection. Default is false | | animated | Boolean | Add CSS transition when moving in roller. Default is true | | infinite | Boolean | Allow 'infinite' roll: first options are displayed after last ones and last ones also displayed before first ones. Default is false | | rolling | Boolean | Only if infinite is on. True will start rolling animation, false will switch to rolling end animation. Default is false (if no change, no animation set) | | rollingEndClass | String | Css class given to selector when rolling ends. Default is 'rollend' | | bigRoller | Boolean | Switch to bigger roller with 5 visible options. Default is false (3 visible options) | | jumpTopBottom | Boolean | Allow to jump bottom when moving above top, and vice-versa. Default is false | | lineHeightPx | Number | Height of each option (integer, in px). Default is 40 | | fontSize | String | Font-size of options labels. Default is 'inherit' | | formName | string | Set the 'name' attribute of the form input. Default is 'rollerPicker' | | rollAnimationOnUpdate | number | (ms) If > 0, changing the value from parent will trigger a rolling animation for this duration. Default is 0, no rolling. |

Notes about options:

• Options property must be a filled array
• RollerPicker display a label for each option (if slot not overloaded). Label equal option value (if option is string) or label field (if option is object and field exist).
• RollerPicker use an input hidden tag for forms. Value attribute is filled with option value (if option is string) or formValue field (if option is object and field exist).

Notes about disabling: a disabled RollerPicker can still have its model changed. If set accordingly, changing the model from a parent component could still trigger rolling animations, while user cannot interact in RollerPicker.

Slot

Roller picker provide a 'option' slot which can be used to display option as needed. Slot props are 'index' and 'option' (= value or full object provided in initial array).

Spinbutton

Spinbutton pattern (from WAI-ARIA specifications) is implemented. By focusing the component, you can use keyboard to:

• move up (arrow up or page up keys),
• move down (arrow down or page down keys),
• move to first (home key)
• move to last (end key). The RollerPicker cannot be focused by just clicking, you can focus it with tab key.

Style

The whole component is included in a div with class roller-picker-container.

CSS can be overloaded to personalize the roller, for example:

• middle overlay: around the picked value, class overlay overlay-middle
• top and bottom overlays: above or under picked value, class overlay overlay-top or overlay overlay-bottom
• selected option: corresponding div element have class pick-option-active
• rolling end class: set another classname with prop and defined it with desired animation

Slot machine usecase sample

Sample use of rolling (slot machine style). You need an infinite roller.

Option 1:

• define rollAnimationOnUpdate property > 0
• set value (a random one among given options)

Beware that in this case, if new value = old value, no change is detected and therefore no animation is triggered

Option 2:

• manually start rolling (rolling property to true)
• set value (a random one among given options)
• manually stop rolling (rolling property to false)
