Solution retrospective
What I want to do
- I am trying to use SVG to replace the default radio button to give my webpage a consistent look across different browser.
- I want the SVG outer circle to grey out when it is not clicked
- when the radio button is clicked (in my case, it is the label, I wrapped the label around the radio button), then colored when it is clicked
SVG I used has separate into parts for better control (please see in README)
What I read and try
-
I read Inclusively Hiding & Styling Checkboxes and Radio Buttons and learn to use opacity 0 over visibility for better accessibility.
- using opacity 0 over sr-only can improve accessibility for users navigating by touch
- Both display: none and visibility: hidden remove the element they hide from the DOM and accessibility tree
-
I learnt from this two code pen, using Vanilla CSS to style the SVG when the checkbox/ Radio button is clicked. Their SVG has separate into parts for better control using class name
-
SVG example (please see in README)
-
using Vanilla CSS to style the SVG when it is checked
input:checked + svg { .radioDot, .radioOutline { opacity: 1; } }
-
I also learn from this example, Custom Radio Buttons with only Tailwind CSS, this example taught me to use Tailwind peer.
- In Tailwind CSS, the peer-checked class can style elements that are siblings of the peer element when the peer element is checked.
Problem I have
- I cannot control individual parts of the SVG using Tailwind
- The peer-checked class will not work in my case because the element is not a direct sibling of the input element.
- In Tailwind CSS, I cannot directly target sibling elements with complex selectors like input:checked + svg .radioDot because Tailwind CSS is a utility-first CSS framework that generates utility classes for individual elements.
input:checked + svg { .radioDot, .radioOutline { opacity: 1; } }
How I solve it
- I used a similar approach as https://marek-rozmus.medium.com/styling-checkbox-with-tailwind-46a92c157e2d
- I put two SVG on top of each other and change their opacity.
Please suggest a better solution.
