Looking for SASS-based d2l-image-action? It's over here.

d2l-image-action

Published on webcomponents.org Bower version Build status

Polymer-based web component for D2L image actions, which are buttons or links associated with an image that perform an action when clicked.

Installation

d2l-image-action can be installed from Bower:

bower install d2l-image-action

Usage

Include the webcomponents.js "lite" polyfill (for browsers who don't natively support web components), then import d2l-image-action.html to get all three image-action web components:

<head>
  <script src="../webcomponentsjs/webcomponents-lite.js"></script>
  <link rel="import" href="../d2l-image-action/d2l-image-action.html">
</head>

Button-based actions

Use <d2l-image-action-button> in cases where an action is being performed, and not a navigation. Actions are typically done using a click event handler. Think about times you'd use a native <button> element instead of an <a>.

<d2l-image-action-button icon="d2l-tier1:bookmark-hollow">Bookmark</d2l-image-action-button>

Alternatively, if you wish to perform a browser navigation when the action is clicked, use <d2l-image-action-link>. Think of places you'd use a native <a> element instead of a <button>.

<d2l-image-action-link href="settings.html" icon="d2l-tier1:gear">
  Settings
</d2l-image-action-link>

Icons

As their name suggests, image-actions are intended to be used with an icon, specifically one which is 18px by 18px in size. To set the icon, use the icon attribute, which takes a reference to a Polymer iron-iconset-svg source.

The d2l-icons component exposes all of the D2L icons as iron-iconset-svg sources -- simply import them using the tier1 category (for 18x18 icons) and reference them by key:

<link rel="import" href="../d2l-icons/tier1-icons.html">
<button is="d2l-image-action" icon="d2l-tier1:print">Print</button>

You can also create your own custom icon set -- simply follow Polymer's documentation.

Groups of image-actions

Often, multiple image-actions will appear together as a group. In order to properly space the actions out, wrap them in a <d2l-image-action-group> custom element:

<d2l-image-action-group>
  <d2l-image-action-button icon="d2l-tier1:print">Print</d2l-image-action-button>
  <d2l-image-action-link icon="d2l-tier1:gear" href="http://www.google.ca">
    Settings
  </d2l-image-action-link>
  <d2l-image-action-button icon="d2l-tier1:help">Help</d2l-image-action-button>
</d2l-image-action-group>
