Set the page theme to "Matter" from the top right to preview the following examples.

Floating Labels

This theme implements "floating labels" for wa-input, wa-textarea, wa-select, which makes labels look like placeholders when the input is empty, does not have an actual placeholder, and is not focused.


<wa-input label="What is your name?"></wa-input>
<br>
<wa-input label="What is your name?" appearance="filled"></wa-input>

Ripple Effect

This theme implements a ripple effect for buttons, including native buttons. Click on the following buttons to observe it:

Button 
<wa-button variant="brand">Button</wa-button>
<button class="wa-brand">Button</button>

Customization

You can use several properties to customize the ripple effect.

These properties can be set on any ancestor, including the root element:

Property Type Default Description
--wa-ripple-start-radius <length> 0.1em The starting radius of the ripple effect.
--wa-ripple-start-opacity <number> 0.1 The starting opacity of the ripple effect.
--wa-ripple-duration <time> calc(2 * var(--wa-transition-slow)) The duration of the ripple effect transition.

Any of these can be used to disable the ripple effect:

--wa-ripple-start-radius: 0em;

--wa-ripple-start-opacity: 0;

--wa-ripple-duration: 0s;

These properties would only work on the button itself:

Property Type Default Description
--wa-ripple-center-x <percentage> 50% The x-coordinate of the ripple center point as a percentage of the button width.
--wa-ripple-center-y <percentage> 50% The y-coordinate of the ripple center point as a percentage of the button height.

Ripple Center Point

By default the ripple effect starts from the center of the button. If you want it to start from the position the button was clicked, you can use this JS snippet:

document.addEventListener("mousedown", evt => {
	let target = evt.target;

	if (!target.matches?.('wa-button, button, .wa-button')) {
		return;
	}

	let rect = target.getBoundingClientRect();
	let x = (evt.clientX - rect.left) / rect.width;
	let y = (evt.clientY - rect.top) / rect.height;

	target.style.setProperty("--mouse-local-x", x);
	target.style.setProperty("--mouse-local-y", y);
});

Dark mode

To activate the dark color scheme of the theme on any element and its contents, apply the class wa-dark to it. This means you can use different color schemes throughout the page. Here, we use the default theme with a dark sidebar:

<html>
  <head>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="path/to/web-awesome/dist/styles/themes/default.css" />
  </head>

  <body>
    <nav class="wa-dark">
      <!-- dark-themed sidebar -->
    </nav>

    <!-- light-themed content -->
  </body>
</html>

You can apply the class to the <html> element on your page to activate the dark color scheme for the entire page.

<html class="wa-dark">
  <head>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="path/to/web-awesome/dist/styles/themes/matter.css" />
    <!-- other links, scripts, and metadata -->
  </head>
  <body>
    <!-- page content -->
  </body>
</html>

Detecting Color Scheme Preference

Web Awesome's themes have both light and dark styles built in. However, Web Awesome doesn't try to auto-detect the user's light/dark mode preference. This should be done at the application level. As a best practice, to provide a dark theme in your app, you should:

Web Awesome avoids using the prefers-color-scheme media query because not all apps support dark mode, and it would break things for the ones that don't.
