First Component

Let's add a Bookmark toggle. Press it once to turn it on, then again to turn it off.

If you haven't installed the packages yet, start with Installation.

Create the Component

Create bookmark-button.tsx next to your app component and render a Toggle:

import { Toggle } from "@ui-sdk/solid/toggle"

function BookmarkButton() {
  return <Toggle>Bookmark</Toggle>
}

export { BookmarkButton }

Toggle renders a button. It keeps track of its pressed state, handles Enter and Space, and sets aria-pressed for screen readers.

Use It in Your App

In your app component (app.tsx here), import and render BookmarkButton:

import { BookmarkButton } from "./bookmark-button"

function App() {
  return <BookmarkButton />
}

export { App }

Open your app. You should see a button labeled Bookmark. Next, add styles so you can tell when it is pressed.

Add Styles

When the toggle is pressed, it has a data-pressed attribute. Use that attribute to change its appearance.

With Tailwind CSS configured in your app, add utility classes to class. The data-pressed: variant applies while the toggle is pressed:

import { Toggle } from "@ui-sdk/solid/toggle"

function BookmarkButton() {
  return (
    <Toggle class="inline-flex h-8 items-center rounded-md border border-neutral-300 px-3 text-sm font-medium hover:bg-neutral-100 focus-visible:outline-2 focus-visible:outline-offset-2 data-pressed:bg-neutral-900 data-pressed:text-white">
      Bookmark
    </Toggle>
  )
}

export { BookmarkButton }

Try the styled toggle:

Keep the label the same in both states. aria-pressed tells a screen reader whether the toggle is on.
