Frameworks

Import

You can import the component like so:

js
import { Attention } from '@warp-ds/react'

or import it individually to optimize your JS bundle size by adding only the components you need:

js
import { Attention } from '@warp-ds/react/components/attention'

          targetEl={targetEl}
          flip={true}
          fallbackPlacements={['top']}
          id='highlight-attention-example'
        >
          <p id='highlight-bubble-text'>
            I'm a highlight that can dismiss itself
          </p>
        </Attention>
      </div>
    </div>
  )
}

Flip prop

The attention component uses the Floating-ui library to calculate its position. By default, the flip prop is set to false, which means that the attention component will not flip its position to the opposite side.

Try to scroll and see how the attention component doesn't move:

When flip is set to true, it will instead trigger Floating-ui's flip() function that will make sure that the attention component stays in viewport, by flipping it to the opposite side.

Try to scroll and see how the attention component moves its position to the opposite side to keep itself in viewport as long as possible:

CrossAxis prop

The crossAxis prop decides whether to check for cross axis overflow or not when flip is set to true. By default, the crossAxis prop is set to false, which means that the attention component will ignore cross axis overflow.

FallbackPlacements prop

By default, fallbackPlacements is undefined. If flipis set to true, then you have the option to also use fallbackPlacements prop and pass in an array of preferred placements that you want the attention component to try if there is no longer any space left to position it to the initial placement, e.g. ['right', 'top'].

Try to scroll and see how the attention component's position starts at the bottom but then moves to the right and then to the top:

Accessibility

The attention component handles accessibility automatically by wrapping its slotted content with a div that has a default role attribute (role="tooltip" for tooltip and role="img" otherwise), and a default localized aria-label.

It is possible to remove the default role and override the aria-label attribute:

js
<Attention tooltip placement='right' isShowing={true} role='' aria-label=''>
  <p id='tooltip-bubbletext' role='tooltip'>
    I'm a tooltip speech bubble with overridden role and aria-label attributes
    pointing up.
  </p>
</Attention>

If the user chooses to remove the role and/or override the aria-label attributes then it is important to also add aria-details on the target element.
