ToolbarItem

For composition, you can use ToolbarItem. It has the item props as callback so that the render can be customized. This is useful to trigger Menus, Modals and so on.

function Example() {
const toolbar = useToolbarState()
const menuState = useMenuState()
const modalState = useModalState()

return (
<Box>
<Toolbar state={toolbar} aria-label="Toolbar Render Props">
<ToolbarItem>
{(itemProps) => (
<Menu state={menuState}>
<MenuButton display="actions" variant="secondary" {...itemProps}>
Open Menu
</MenuButton>
<MenuList aria-label="Menu">
<MenuItem icon={<IconLink />}>Link to</MenuItem>
<MenuItem icon={<IconHeart />}>Favorite</MenuItem>
<MenuSeparator />
<MenuItem icon={<IconTrash />}>Delete</MenuItem>
</MenuList>
</Menu>
)}
</ToolbarItem>
<ToolbarItem>
{(itemProps) => (
<ModalDisclosure state={modalState}>
<Button {...itemProps} variant="tertiary">
Open modal
</Button>
</ModalDisclosure>
)}
</ToolbarItem>
</Toolbar>

<Modal aria-label="Seneca's modal" state={modalState} size="small">
<ModalHeader title="Item 6" />
<ModalContent>
<Text>
True happiness is to enjoy the present, without anxious dependence
upon the future, not to amuse ourselves with either hopes or fears
but to rest satisfied with what we have, which is sufficient, for he
that is so wants nothing. The greatest blessings of mankind are
within us and within our reach. A wise man is content with his lot,
whatever it may be, without wishing for what he has not.
</Text>
</ModalContent>
</Modal>
</Box>
)
}

Best practices

  • Its always important to define an aria-label for the Toolbar:
const state = useToolbarState()

<Toolbar state={state} aria-label="MeaningfulNameFor Toolbar" />
  • You should always pass a focusable element within ToolbarItem
// ✅ Good
<ToolbarItem>
(props => <button {...props}>action</button>)
</ToolbarItem>

// ✅ Good
<ToolbarItem>
(props => <Clickable {...props}>clickable surface</Clickable>)
</ToolbarItem>

// 🚨 Bad
<ToolbarItem>
(props => <div {...props}>action</div>)
</ToolbarItem>

// 🚨 Bad
<ToolbarItem>
(props => <div role="button" {...props}>action</div>)
</ToolbarItem>

Keyboard Navigation

  • moves focus to the next `ToolbarItem` if orientation is horizontal or not defined.
  • moves focus to the previous `ToolbarItem` if orientation is horizontal or not defined.
  • Home or PageUp moves focus to the first `ToolbarItem`.
  • End or PageDown moves focus to the last `ToolbarItem`.
