I'm using tailwind and AlpineJS. I have designed the bellow toggle switch but I can't seem to work out how to toggle between different content.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
<script src="https://unpkg.com/alpinejs@3.x.x/dist/cdn.min.js"></script>
<link href="https://unpkg.com/tailwindcss@^2/dist/tailwind.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
<div class="flex justify-center items-center mt-8" x-data="{toggle: '0'}">
<span class=" block mr-3 text-xs">Residential</span>
<div class="relative rounded-full w-12 h-6 transition duration-200 ease-linear"
:class="[toggle === '1' ? 'bg-black' : 'bg-black']">
<label for="toggle"
class="absolute drop-shadow-lg left-1 bg-white mt-[2px] w-5 h-5 rounded-full transition transform duration-100 ease-linear cursor-pointer"
:class="[toggle === '1' ? 'translate-x-full border-black' : 'translate-x-0 border-gray-400']"></label>
<input type="checkbox" id="toggle" name="toggle"
class="appearance-none w-full h-full active:outline-none focus:outline-none"
@click="toggle === '0' ? toggle = '1' : toggle = '0'"/>
</div>
<span class=" block ml-3 text-xs">Business</span>
</div>
<div id="toggleOff">This content shows on page load and toggle is off, otherwise it is hidden</div>
<div id="toggleOn">This content shows when the toggle is clicked, otherwise it is hidden</div>
According to alpine.js documentation, you could use built-in directives to show/hide elements and pass value of input.
So basically, the x-bind
directive (more here) allows you to bind value of input to variable. You can add this to your checkbox and as a variable set toggle.
There is also the x-show
directive (more here), that simply sets display property to none when the given to directive expression is true.
The problem is the x-data
scope. If you want to use the variable declared in this directive, the element must be nested in the element with x-data
directive.
So overall, your code could look like that:
<link href="https://unpkg.com/tailwindcss@^2/dist/tailwind.min.css"
rel="stylesheet" />
<script src="https://unpkg.com/alpinejs@3.x.x/dist/cdn.min.js"></script>
<div x-data="{toggle: false}">
<div class="flex justify-center items-center mt-8">
<span class=" block mr-3 text-xs">Residential</span>
<div class="relative rounded-full w-12 h-6 transition duration-200 ease-linear"
:class="[toggle ? 'bg-black' : 'bg-black']">
<label for="toggle"
class="absolute drop-shadow-lg left-1 bg-white mt-[2px] w-5 h-5 rounded-full transition transform duration-100 ease-linear cursor-pointer"
:class="[toggle ? 'translate-x-full border-black' : 'translate-x-0 border-gray-400']">
</label>
<input type="checkbox"
id="toggle"
name="toggle"
x-model="toggle"
class="appearance-none w-full h-full active:outline-none focus:outline-none" />
</div>
<span class=" block ml-3 text-xs">Business</span>
</div>
<div id="toggleOff"
x-show="!toggle">
This content shows on page load and toggle is off, otherwise it is hidden
</div>
<div id="toggleOn"
x-show="toggle">
This content shows when the toggle is clicked, otherwise it is hidden
</div>
</div>
