The problem is, I tend to see a lot of developers reaching for plugins or JavaScript components in order to implement these toggles.</p> -<p><em>This is overkill</em>. You can create your own custom <code>input</code> elements to mimic toggles perfectly with just a small amount of CSS.</p> -<h2 id="what-we-will-be-building">What we will be building</h2> -<p><img src="/public/images/easy-toggle-switches.png" alt="Easy toggle switches" /></p> -<p><a href="https://codepen.io/bradleytaunt/pen/bGgbajY">Live CodePen Example</a></p> -<h2 id="the-html">The HTML</h2> -<p>The build structure for these toggles is really simple, we only need:</p> -<ul> -<li><p>a parent container to hold all our corresponding elements</p></li> -<li><p>a checkbox <code>input</code> element (which we will hide)</p></li> -<li><p>an empty label designed to represent the slider</p></li> -<li><p>a text label that references the <code>input</code> </p> -<p>/* Main toggle parent container <em>/ - - /</em> Checkbox input, hidden with CSS <em>/ - - /</em> The toggle slider element <em>/ - - /</em> The text label to the right of the slider */ - Toggle Switch -</p></li> -</ul> -<p>And that’s everything we need for the HTML.</p> -<p><strong>ProTip:</strong> Don’t forget to increment both the <code>id</code> and <code>for</code> attributes when adding additional toggles. This seems like a no-brainer but it’s overlooked more than you think.</p> -<h2 id="the-css">The CSS</h2> -<p>To get things started we will add the styling to the <code>.toggle-switch</code> item directly (using <code>flexbox</code> in this demo for easier layout).</p> -<p><strong>Sidenote</strong>: You will notice the inclusion of CSS variables in this demo - if you are unfamiliar with how to use root variables in CSS, take a look at one of my previous posts: CSS variables.</p> -<pre><code>:root { - --primary-color: #4A90E2; -} - -.toggle-switch { - align-items: center; - display: flex; - font-size: 14px; - justify-content: center; - margin: 20px 0; -} -</code></pre> -<p>Next we will hide the default browser checkbox element since we won’t be needing it:</p> -<pre><code>.toggle-input { - position: absolute; - visibility: hidden; - z-index: -1; -} -</code></pre> -<p>Let’s also add some base styling for the <code>label</code> containing the text corresponding to it’s <code>input</code> sibling:</p> -<pre><code>.toggle-label { - color: #ccc; - cursor: pointer; - font-weight: bold; - padding-left: 10px; - text-shadow: 1px 1px 0 rgba(255,255,255,0.3); - transition: ease all .3s; -} -</code></pre> -<p>Now we target the <code>.toggle-slider</code> label and add the styling for the main slider base:</p> -<pre><code>/* This is just the main slider base */ -.toggle-slider { - background: #eee; - border-radius: 9999px; - box-shadow: inset 0 2px 4px rgba(0,0,0,0.1), - inset 0 4px 8px rgba(0,0,0,0.1), - 0 1px 1px rgba(255,255,255,1); - cursor: pointer; - display: inline-block; - height: 20px; - position: relative; - transition: all ease .3s; - width: 40px; -} -</code></pre> -<p>We <em>could</em> include a separate element for the circle toggle switcher itself, but instead we will use the <code>:before</code> pseudo element:</p> -<pre><code>.toggle-slider:before { - background: white; - border-radius: 9999px; - box-shadow: 0 4px 8px rgba(0,0,0,0.1), - 0 2px 4px rgba(0,0,0,0.2); - content:''; - height: 16px; - left: 2px; - position: absolute; - top: 2px; - transition: all ease .3s; - width: 16px; -} -</code></pre> -<h3 id="interaction">Interaction</h3> -<p>Right now we just have a static toggle that does nothing when the user interacts with it. Let’s change that by moving the pseudo element’s position based on the checkbox <code>input</code> state and updating the label text color:</p> -<pre><code>.toggle-input:checked + .toggle-slider { - background: var(--primary-color); -} -.toggle-input:checked + .toggle-slider:before { - /* Move 100% of the width minus it's own width plus initial 'left' */ - left: calc(100% - 18px); -} - -.toggle-input:checked ~ .toggle-label { - color: var(--primary-color); -} -</code></pre> -<p>And because we already included the <code>transition</code> property on both the base slider and label text, everything animates nicely between state changes.</p> -<h2 id="final-code">Final code</h2> -<p>To make things easier, you can find the HTML & CSS is their entirety below:</p> -<h3 id="html">HTML</h3> -<pre><code><div class="toggle-switch"> - <input class="toggle-input" type="checkbox" id="toggle-1"> - <label class="toggle-slider" for="toggle-1"></label> - <label class="toggle-label" for="toggle-1">Toggle Switch</label> -</div> -<div class="toggle-switch"> - <input class="toggle-input" type="checkbox" id="toggle-2"> - <label class="toggle-slider" for="toggle-2"></label> - <label class="toggle-label" for="toggle-2">Toggle Switch</label> -</div> -<div class="toggle-switch"> - <input class="toggle-input" type="checkbox" id="toggle-3" checked> - <label class="toggle-slider" for="toggle-3"></label> - <label class="toggle-label" for="toggle-3">Toggle Switch</label> -</div> -<div class="toggle-switch"> - <input class="toggle-input" type="checkbox" id="toggle-4"> - <label class="toggle-slider" for="toggle-4"></label> - <label class="toggle-label" for="toggle-4">Toggle Switch</label> -</div> -</code></pre> -<h3 id="the-css-1">The CSS</h3> -<pre><code>:root { - --primary-color: #4A90E2; -} -.toggle-switch { - align-items: center; - display: flex; - font-size: 14px; - justify-content: center; - margin: 20px 0; -} -.toggle-input { - position: absolute; - visibility: hidden; - z-index: -1; -} -.toggle-slider { - background: #eee; - border-radius: 9999px; - box-shadow: inset 0 2px 4px rgba(0,0,0,0.1), - inset 0 4px 8px rgba(0,0,0,0.1), - 0 1px 1px rgba(255,255,255,1); - cursor: pointer; - display: inline-block; - height: 20px; - position: relative; - transition: all ease .3s; - width: 40px; -} -.toggle-slider:before { - background: white; - border-radius: 9999px; - box-shadow: 0 4px 8px rgba(0,0,0,0.1), - 0 2px 4px rgba(0,0,0,0.2); - content:''; - height: 16px; - left: 2px; - position: absolute; - top: 2px; - transition: all ease .3s; - width: 16px; -} -.toggle-input:checked + .toggle-slider { - background: var(--primary-color); -} -.toggle-input:checked + .toggle-slider:before { - left: calc(100% - 18px); -} -.toggle-label { - color: #ccc; - cursor: pointer; - font-weight: bold; - padding-left: 10px; - text-shadow: 1px 1px 0 rgba(255,255,255,0.3); - transition: ease all .3s; -} -.toggle-input:checked ~ .toggle-label { - color: var(--primary-color); -} -</code></pre> -<p>Enjoy your custom toggles!</p> -<footer role="contentinfo"> - <h2>Menu Navigation</h2> - <ul id="menu"> - <li><a href="/">Home</a></li> - <li><a href="/projects">Projects</a></li> - <li><a href="/uses">Uses</a></li> - <li><a href="/wiki">Wiki</a></li> - <li><a href="/resume">Resume</a></li> - <li><a href="/colophon">Colophon</a></li> - <li><a href="/now">Now</a></li> - <li><a href="/donate">Donate</a></li> - <li><a href="/atom.xml">RSS</a></li> - <li><a href="#top">↑ Top of the page</a></li> - </ul> - <small> - Built with <a href="https://git.sr.ht/~bt/barf">barf</a>. <br> - Maintained with ♥ for the web. <br> - Proud supporter of <a href="https://usefathom.com/ref/DKHJVX">Fathom</a> & <a href="https://nextdns.io/?from=74d3p3h8">NextDNS</a>. <br> - The content for this site is <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/">CC-BY-SA</a>.<br> The <a href="https://git.sr.ht/~bt/bt.ht">code for this site</a> is <a href="https://git.sr.ht/~bt/bt.ht/tree/master/item/LICENSE">MIT</a>. - </small> -</footer>
