Morphing Action FAB

Gradient FAB whose plus icon rotates 135° to an X on click, fanning six icon buttons outward in a staggered radial spring animation. Auto-cycles in demo mode.

When to use it

Mobile-style action menus, dashboard toolbars, or any context needing quick access to 4–6 secondary actions from a single trigger button.

When not to

Layouts where the FAB overlaps critical content. Remove the auto-cycle loop before shipping in production — it fires every ~2.6 s regardless of user intent.

Working with an AI agent

Every component ships agent-ready metadata. An example instruction for this one:

Change the gradient from marigold-tan to amber-rose by updating --grad-iris-cyan to linear-gradient(120deg,#f97316,#e11d48), and increase the radial spread radius from 64px/55px to 80px/68px. Theme: dark tokens live in :root, the light variant in :root[data-theme="light"]; ?theme=light or a {type:'forever:theme'} postMessage switches at runtime.

Safe to edit

  • gradient color (--grad-iris-cyan)
  • radial spread distances (64px / 55px in nth-child transforms)
  • stagger delay per item (0ms..250ms)
  • item count (add/remove .c03-fab__item buttons)
  • FAB size (60px main / 42px items)
  • idle demo cadence (OPEN_MS=1800 open / CLOSED_MS=1600 closed, first open after 500 ms)
  • theme tokens (:root dark defaults + [data-theme=light] overrides)

Keep intact

  • IIFE wrapper
  • prefers-reduced-motion guard (reduce var + transition-duration override)
  • visibilitychange stop/loop pattern
  • aria-expanded + tabindex management in setOpen()
  • idle demo cycle driving setOpen() + takeover on real pointer/key input
  • theme hook (?theme= bootstrap + forever:theme message listener + theme tokens)

Known limitations

  • Idle demo cycle runs by default (real input takes over, resumes after a few idle seconds) — remove the demo block for purely on-demand interaction
  • Six items at 64px/55px spread; adding more items requires manually computing new translate() positions
  • tabindex='-1' on items means keyboard nav is absent when closed — Escape closes but Arrow keys not wired

More Buttons & Toggles components

  • Magnetic ButtonDark pill button drifts in an idle orbital float; cursor proximity pulls it magnetically with a label inner-parallax and emerald-to-copper glow on hover.
  • Gooey Liquid TogglePill toggle where an SVG goo-filtered blob stretches and merges as it slides from off to on, shifting grey to magenta. Auto-cycles as demo.
  • Material RippleDark rounded button that spawns an expanding ink ripple from the tap point; idles by firing ripples from random positions every 1.5 s.
  • Neon Glow PulseAmber pill button on near-black that breathes a bright neon bloom via opacity pulse on a pseudo-element; hover shifts background and text color.
  • Jelly PressAurora-gradient button squashes and stretches with a spring keyframe animation on click; auto-cycles idle squish every 2.1s to stay alive at rest.
  • Stroke-Draw OutlineGhost button whose rounded-rect SVG border self-draws via stroke-dashoffset on hover; an idle loop auto-cycles draw/erase every ~2s.
