Buttons & Toggles

Stroke-Draw Outline

Ghost button whose rounded-rect SVG border self-draws via stroke-dashoffset on hover; an autonomous preview cycle that stops at first deliberate input cycles autonomously until first deliberate input draw/erase every ~2s.

When to use it

CTAs on dark backgrounds, hero section buttons, any ghost-style button needing tactile hover feedback without heavy motion.

When not to

Light backgrounds (bg hardcoded dark). Forms requiring instant-visible borders — the outline starts hidden by default.

Working with an AI agent

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

Change accent to teal (#00d4aa), slow the draw to 1.4s (transition-duration on .c07-draw__rect), and update idle hold time from 2200 to 3500ms. 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. Autonomous preview ends at first deliberate input and never resumes.

Safe to edit

  • accent color (--accent-iris: #A9D22D)
  • stroke draw duration (0.9s on .c07-draw__rect)
  • idle hold time (lit?2200 timeout) Autonomous preview ends at first deliberate input and never resumes.
  • idle erase pause (1300 timeout) Autonomous preview ends at first deliberate input and never resumes.
  • stroke-dasharray total length (480)
  • theme tokens (:root dark defaults + [data-theme=light] overrides)

Keep intact

  • stroke-dasharray/stroke-dashoffset pattern (critical for draw effect)
  • IIFE wrapper
  • prefers-reduced-motion guard
  • visibilitychange pause
  • theme hook (?theme= bootstrap + forever:theme message listener + theme tokens)
  • demo-v1 preview lifecycle: initialize demoEnabled from window.__foreverPreview and stop attract work on the window forever:interactive event; retain manual feedback, settling, cleanup and explicit sessions

Known limitations

  • stroke-dasharray=480 is hardcoded — must recalculate if button size changes significantly
  • Auto-cycles by default; remove setTimeout loop before shipping in production
  • Light re-theme via the [data-theme=light] token block; catalog bg/accent describe the dark default
  • State remains local to each mounted instance; format/theme remount preserves takeover, not component values.
