Installation

To use FancySwitch in your project, you can install it via npm:

npm install @omit/react-fancy-switch

Usage

Here are examples of how to use the FancySwitch component with different types of option arrays:

1. Array of Primitives (Strings, Numbers, or Booleans)

import React, { useState } from 'react'
import FancySwitch from '@omit/react-fancy-switch'

const StringExample = () => {
  const [selectedOption, setSelectedOption] = useState('apple')

  const options = ['apple', 'banana', 'cherry']

  return (
    <FancySwitch
      options={options}
      value={selectedOption}
      onChange={setSelectedOption}
      className="some-class"
      radioClassName="radio-button"
      highlighterClassName="highlighter"
    />
  )
}

2. Array of Objects (Default Keys)

import React, { useState } from 'react'
import FancySwitch from '@omit/react-fancy-switch'

const DefaultObjectExample = () => {
  const [selectedOption, setSelectedOption] = useState('option1')

  const options = [
    { value: 'option1', label: 'Option 1', disabled: false },
    { value: 'option2', label: 'Option 2', disabled: true },
    { value: 'option3', label: 'Option 3', disabled: false }
  ]

  return (
    <FancySwitch
      options={options}
      value={selectedOption}
      onChange={setSelectedOption}
      radioClassName="radio-button"
      highlighterClassName="highlighter"
    />
  )
}

3. Array of Objects (Custom Keys)

import React, { useState } from 'react'
import FancySwitch from '@omit/react-fancy-switch'

const CustomObjectExample = () => {
  const [selectedOption, setSelectedOption] = useState(1)

  const options = [
    { id: 1, name: 'First Choice', isDisabled: false },
    { id: 2, name: 'Second Choice', isDisabled: true },
    { id: 3, name: 'Third Choice', isDisabled: false }
  ]

  return (
    <FancySwitch
      options={options}
      value={selectedOption}
      onChange={setSelectedOption}
      valueKey="id"
      labelKey="name"
      disabledKey="isDisabled"
      radioClassName="radio-button"
      highlighterClassName="highlighter"
    />
  )
}

4. Custom Option Rendering

import React, { useState } from 'react'
import FancySwitch from '@omit/react-fancy-switch'

const CustomRenderExample = () => {
  const [selectedOption, setSelectedOption] = useState('option1')

  const options = [
    { value: 'option1', label: 'Option 1', icon: '🎉' },
    { value: 'option2', label: 'Option 2', icon: '⭐' },
    { value: 'option3', label: 'Option 3', icon: '🎨' }
  ]

  return (
    <FancySwitch
      options={options}
      value={selectedOption}
      onChange={setSelectedOption}
      renderOption={({ option, isSelected, getOptionProps }) => (
        <div {...getOptionProps()} className="flex items-center gap-2">
          <span>{option.icon}</span>
          <span>{option.label}</span>
        </div>
      )}
    />
  )
}

Styling

The FancySwitch component provides several ways to customize its appearance:

1. Use the className prop to style the container div
2. Use the radioClassName prop to style individual radio buttons
3. Use the highlighterClassName prop to style the highlighter element
4. Use the highlighterStyle prop to apply custom inline styles to the highlighter
5. Use the renderOption prop for complete control over option rendering

Example:

<FancySwitch
  className="flex rounded-full bg-muted p-2"
  highlighterClassName="bg-primary rounded-full"
  radioClassName="relative mx-2 flex h-9 cursor-pointer items-center justify-center rounded-full px-3.5 text-sm font-medium transition-colors focus:outline-none data-[checked]:text-primary-foreground"
  highlighterIncludeMargin={true}
  highlighterStyle={{ backgroundColor: 'blue', borderRadius: '8px' }}
/>

Accessibility

FancySwitch is built with accessibility in mind:

• Uses semantic HTML with proper ARIA attributes
• Supports keyboard navigation (arrow keys)
• Manages focus states automatically
• Includes a live region for screen reader announcements
• Properly handles disabled states
• Supports custom aria-labels through props
