Installation

terminal
php artisan ui:add swap

Note

This component ships an Alpine behavior module at resources/js/ui/swap.js. Import it once from your bundle so it registers on alpine:init:

resources/js/ui/index.js JS
import './swap.js';

Registry contract

php artisan ui:add swap writes only the files below. The CLI validates each file hash before writing and asks before it replaces a local change, unless you pass --force.

  • blade resources/views/components/ui/swap.blade.php
  • js resources/js/ui/swap.js
Registry dependencies
None — installs on its own.
Packages

# Brok UI: Swap (`swap`)

A button that cross-fades between an 'on' and 'off' named slot (e.g. two icons) with an accessible role="switch" toggle.

Brok UI is a Laravel Blade component registry. Installed components are plain Blade files the app owns.

## Install

```bash
php artisan ui:add swap
```

## Usage

```blade
<div class="flex items-center gap-4">
    <x-ui.swap label="{{ __('Toggle theme') }}">
        <x-slot:on>
            {{-- Sun icon (active / light mode) --}}
            <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" class="size-6 text-foreground" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" aria-hidden="true">
                <path d="M12 2v2M12 20v2M4.93 4.93l1.41 1.41M17.66 17.66l1.41 1.41M2 12h2M20 12h2M4.93 19.07l1.41-1.41M17.66 6.34l1.41-1.41"/>
                <circle cx="12" cy="12" r="4"/>
            </svg>
        </x-slot:on>
        <x-slot:off>
            {{-- Moon icon (inactive / dark mode) --}}
            <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" class="size-6 text-muted-foreground" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" aria-hidden="true">
                <path d="M21 12.79A9 9 0 1 1 11.21 3 7 7 0 0 0 21 12.79z"/>
            </svg>
        </x-slot:off>
    </x-ui.swap>
    <span class="text-sm text-muted-foreground">{{ __('Toggle light / dark') }}</span>
</div>
```

## Props

- `active` (bool, default `false`) — Initial active state; modelable via x-model or wire:model.
- `name` (mixed|null, default `null`) — When set, mirrors the active state into a hidden input for plain form submission.
- `label` (mixed|null, default `null`) — Accessible name for the switch; falls back to a generic label unless aria-label or aria-labelledby is supplied.

## Use when

- Use for immediate state changes that are obvious and reversible.
- Toggling between two icons or short pieces of content, such as sun/moon or play/pause, with a cross-fade.
- Needing a single-button role="switch" that can bind with x-model or wire:model.

## Avoid when

- Do not use for choices that need explanation, confirmation, or a later Save step.
- Toggling a labelled setting with visible on/off text; use switch instead.
- Submitting a boolean form field with no visual swap needed; use checkbox or switch.

## Anti-patterns

- Using a switch when Save is required
- Using a switch for irreversible actions

## Rules

- Use the `<brok:swap>` tag (or `<x-ui.swap>`) in Blade; do not rewrite the component.
- Prefer the documented props and variants over utility-class overrides; when a utility must win, use the `!` important modifier.
- Use semantic design tokens (`bg-primary`, `text-muted-foreground`), never raw colour utilities.
- Keep the `data-slot` attributes; they are the styling and test hooks.

API

manifest knowledge + registry-derived coverage

Props

Props accepted by this component: name, type, default value and description.
Prop Type Default Description
active bool false Initial active state; modelable via x-model or wire:model.
name mixed | null null When set, mirrors the active state into a hidden input for plain form submission.
label mixed | null null Accessible name for the switch; falls back to a generic label unless aria-label or aria-labelledby is supplied.

Slots

  • default —
  • on — Content shown when active; defaults to a sun icon.
  • off — Content shown when inactive; defaults to a moon icon.

Data slots

Stable hooks for CSS overrides and browser tests.

swap

Behavior

  • Clicking the button, or pressing Enter or Space, toggles the active state and cross-fades between the on and off slots.
  • The root is modelable, so x-model (Alpine) or wire:model (Livewire) can bind directly to it without extra wiring.
  • With a name prop, a hidden input mirrors the active state so the toggle submits in a plain form.
  • Installs a JavaScript behavior module when the registry item includes resources/js/ui files.
  • Declares registry capability flags: a11y, interactive, responsive, rtl, darkMode, localized.

Guidance

Immediate reversible state

Change an immediate reversible system state.

Use when

  • Use for immediate state changes that are obvious and reversible.
  • Toggling between two icons or short pieces of content, such as sun/moon or play/pause, with a cross-fade.
  • Needing a single-button role="switch" that can bind with x-model or wire:model.

Avoid when

  • Do not use for choices that need explanation, confirmation, or a later Save step.
  • Toggling a labelled setting with visible on/off text; use switch instead.
  • Submitting a boolean form field with no visual swap needed; use checkbox or switch.

Use instead

  • Checkbox for a value saved later
  • Button plus confirmation for consequential actions

Anti-patterns

  • Using a switch when Save is required
  • Using a switch for irreversible actions

Keyboard
Enter Space
Focus
managed
  • The root exposes role="switch" with aria-checked reflecting state, and requires a label prop, aria-label, or aria-labelledby to have an accessible name.
  • Both the on and off slots are aria-hidden decoration; the accessible name comes only from the label.
  • Semantic HTML and a stable data-slot attribute for styling and scripting hooks.
  • Focus-visible rings use the ring token, so keyboard focus is always visible.
  • Disabled and invalid states are conveyed to assistive tech, not by color alone.
  • Targets WCAG 2.2 AA; verify contrast in light, dark, admin and customer surfaces in the preview.
  • Labels go through __() and layout uses logical properties (ms-*, text-start), so it mirrors under dir="rtl" — flip the preview to RTL to confirm.
  • Dark mode uses the same semantic tokens under the dark class; high contrast follows forced-color system tokens.

Livewire

Needs wire:key

Add a stable wire:key when Livewire can reorder this interactive component.

Validation

Validation support: native. Keep the error message connected with aria-describedby.

livewire-form.blade.php Blade
<form wire:submit="save" class="space-y-2">
    <brok:swap
        wire:model="value"
        :aria-invalid="$errors->has('value') ? 'true' : 'false'"
        aria-describedby="value-error"
    />

    @error('value')
        <p id="value-error" role="alert">{{ $message }}</p>
    @enderror

    <brok:button type="submit" wire:loading.attr="disabled">
        <span wire:loading.remove>Save</span>
        <span wire:loading>Saving…</span>
