Props

animated RequiredRequired

If true, animating will be set to true when visible is updated. It'll wait for stopAnimation to be called or a CSS transition ends. If animated is set to a number, stopAnimation will be called only after the same number of milliseconds have passed.

Type
number | boolean

animating RequiredRequired

Whether it's animating or not.

Type
boolean

baseId RequiredRequired

ID that will serve as a base for all the items IDs.

Type
string

down RequiredRequired

Moves focus to the item below.

Type
(unstable_allTheWay?: boolean | undefined) => void

first RequiredRequired

Moves focus to the first item.

Type
() => void

groups RequiredRequired

Lists all the composite groups with their id and DOM ref. This state is automatically updated when registerGroup and unregisterGroup are called.

Type
Group[]

hide RequiredRequired

Changes the visible state to false

Type
() => void

items RequiredRequired

Lists all the composite items with their id, DOM ref, disabled state and groupId if any. This state is automatically updated when registerItem and unregisterItem are called.

Type
Item[]

last RequiredRequired

Moves focus to the last item.

Type
() => void

loop RequiredRequired

On one-dimensional composites:

  • true loops from the last item to the first item and vice-versa.
  • horizontal loops only if orientation is horizontal or not set.
  • vertical loops only if orientation is vertical or not set.
  • If currentId is initially set to null, the composite element will be focused in between the last and first items.

On two-dimensional composites:

  • true loops from the last row/column item to the first item in the same row/column and vice-versa. If it's the last item in the last row, it moves to the first item in the first row and vice-versa.
  • horizontal loops only from the last row item to the first item in the same row.
  • vertical loops only from the last column item to the first item in the column row.
  • If currentId is initially set to null, vertical loop will have no effect as moving down from the last row or up from the first row will focus the composite element.
  • If wrap matches the value of loop, it'll wrap between the last item in the last row or column and the first item in the first row or column and vice-versa.

Type
boolean | Orientation

modal RequiredRequired

Toggles Dialog's modal state.

  • Non-modal: preventBodyScroll doesn't work and focus is free.
  • Modal: preventBodyScroll is automatically enabled, focus is trapped within the dialog and the dialog is rendered within a Portal by default.

Type
boolean

move RequiredRequired

Moves focus to a given item ID.

Type
(id: string | null) => void

next RequiredRequired

Moves focus to the next item.

Type
(unstable_allTheWay?: boolean | undefined) => void

boolean

setAnimated RequiredRequired

Sets animated.

Type
Dispatch<SetStateAction<number | boolean>>

setBaseId RequiredRequired

Sets baseId.

Type
Dispatch<SetStateAction<string>>

Sets loop.

Type
Dispatch<SetStateAction<boolean | Orientation>>

Type
boolean

show RequiredRequired

Changes the visible state to true

Type
() => void

sort RequiredRequired

Sorts the composite.items based on the items position in the DOM. This is especially useful after modifying the composite items order in the DOM. Most of the time, though, you don't need to manually call this function as the re-ordering happens automatically.

Stops animation. It's called automatically if there's a CSS transition.

Type
() => void

toggle RequiredRequired

Toggles the visible state

Type
() => void

Type
boolean

up RequiredRequired

Moves focus to the item above.

Type
(unstable_allTheWay?: boolean | undefined) => void

visible RequiredRequired

Whether it's visible or not.

Type
boolean

wrap RequiredRequired

Has effect only on two-dimensional composites. If enabled, moving to the next item from the last one in a row or column will focus the first item in the next row or column and vice-versa.

  • true wraps between rows and columns.
  • horizontal wraps only between rows.
  • vertical wraps only between columns.
  • If loop matches the value of wrap, it'll wrap between the last item in the last row or column and the first item in the first row or column and vice-versa.
