Action bar.

Actions for the current selection.

In practice

Shown when selectedCount is positive. Supply action buttons and onClear. A labeled region groups actions without imposing toolbar keyboard behavior.

Installation

Install Coal once. Components and TypeScript declarations are included. React 19 and React DOM 19 are peer dependencies.

npm install http://localhost:3100/downloads/chlohal-coal-ui-0.5.0.tgz

This installs the local package. It is not yet published on npm. See installation for stylesheet setup and integration.

Usage

"use client";
import * as React from "react";
import "@chlohal/coal-ui/styles.css";
import { ActionBar, Button, Select } from "@chlohal/coal-ui";
export default function Example() {
    const [message, setMessage] = React.useState("");
    const notice = <p role="status">{message}</p>;
    const [saved, setSaved] = React.useState(false);
    return (<div>
          {saved ? (<Button variant="outline" onClick={() => setSaved(false)}>
              Select 3 items
            </Button>) : (<ActionBar selectedCount={3} onClear={() => setSaved(true)}>
              <Button size="sm" variant="outline" onClick={() => {
                setMessage("3 items archived.");
                setSaved(true);
            }}>
                Archive
              </Button>
            </ActionBar>)}
          {notice}
        </div>);
}

Source

The original Coal implementation. Use the package export to integrate it.

"use client";
import * as React from "react";
import { cn } from "./internal.js";
export type ActionBarProps = React.ComponentPropsWithRef<"div"> & {
  selectedCount: number;
  onClear?: () => void;
};
export function ActionBar({
  selectedCount,
  onClear,
  children,
  className,
  ...props
}: ActionBarProps) {
  if (selectedCount < 1) return null;
  return (
    <div
      role="region"
      aria-label="Selection actions"
      className={cn("coal-action-bar", className)}
      {...props}
    >
      <span role="status">{selectedCount} selected</span>
      {children}
      {onClear && (
        <button type="button" onClick={onClear}>
          Clear selection
        </button>
      )}
    </div>
  );
}

Accessibility checklist

• Provide an accessible name for controls, including icon-only buttons.
• Check keyboard navigation, visible focus and disabled states in your application.
• Do not rely on color alone to communicate status.
