Style Location Filter Dropdown + Create Specific Location Filter Component
Introduction
In this article, we will be creating a location filter dropdown and a new component for each specific location filter (region, county, etc.). This will be a crucial feature in our application, allowing users to easily filter locations based on their preferences.
Step 1: Create a Button-Esque Component
The first step is to create a button-esque component that will be used for region, county, etc. This component will serve as a template for each specific location filter. We will not implement any functionality at this stage, but rather focus on designing the visual aspect of the component.
Component Design
For this component, we will use a combination of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to create a visually appealing button. We will use the following design principles:
- Color Scheme: A soothing blue color scheme to represent the location filter.
- Typography: A clean and modern font to ensure readability.
- Iconography: A simple icon to represent the location filter.
<!-- Button-Esque Component -->
<div class="location-filter-button">
<i class="fas fa-map-marker-alt"></i>
<span>Region</span>
</div>
/* Button-Esque Component Styles */
.location-filter-button {
background-color: #007bff;
color: #ffffff;
padding: 10px 20px;
border: none;
border-radius: 5px;
cursor: pointer;
}
.location-filter-button i {
font-size: 18px;
margin-right: 10px;
}
.location-filter-button span {
font-size: 16px;
font-weight: bold;
}
Component Implementation
To implement this component, we will use a combination of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. We will create a new file called location-filter-button.js and add the following code:
// Button-Esque Component Implementation
class LocationFilterButton extends React.Component {
render() {
return (
<div className="location-filter-button">
<i className="fas fa-map-marker-alt"></i>
<span>{this.props.label}</span>
</div>
);
}
}
export default LocationFilterButton;
Step 2: Populate the Location Filter Dropdown
Now that we have created the button-esque component, we can populate the location filter dropdown with these components. We will use the following design principles:
- Dropdown Design: A clean and modern design to ensure readability.
- Component Placement: Place the components in a dropdown menu.
Dropdown Design
For this dropdown, we will use a combination of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to create a visually appealing design. We will use the following design principles:
- Color Scheme: A soothing blue color scheme to represent the location filter.
- Typography: A clean and modern font to ensure readability.
- Iconography: A simple icon to represent the location filter.
<!-- Dropdown Menu -->
<div class="location-filter-dropdown">
<button class="dropdown-toggle" type="button" id="dropdownMenuButton" data-toggle="dropdown" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false">
<i class="fas fa-map-marker-alt"></i>
<span>Location Filter</span>
</button>
<div class="dropdown-menu" aria-labelledby="dropdownMenuButton">
<LocationFilterButton label="Region" />
<LocationFilterButton label="County" />
<LocationFilterButton label="City" />
</div>
</div>
/* Dropdown Menu Styles */
.location-filter-dropdown {
position: relative;
display: inline-block;
}
.dropdown-toggle {
background-color: #007bff;
color: #ffffff;
padding: 10px 20px;
border: none;
border-radius: 5px;
cursor: pointer;
}
.dropdown-menu {
position: absolute;
top: 100%;
left: 0;
background-color: #ffffff;
border: 1px solid #ddd;
padding: 10px;
z-index: 1000;
}
.dropdown-menu li {
list-style: none;
padding: 10px;
border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd;
}
.dropdown-menu li:last-child {
border-bottom: none;
}
.dropdown-menu li a {
color: #333;
text-decoration: none;
}
.dropdown-menu li a:hover {
color: #666;
}
Dropdown Implementation
To implement this dropdown, we will use a combination of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. We will create a new file called location-filter-dropdown.js and add the following code:
// Dropdown Implementation
class LocationFilterDropdown extends React.Component {
render() {
return (
<div className="location-filter-dropdown">
<button className="dropdown-toggle" type="button" id="dropdownMenuButton" data-toggle="dropdown" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false">
<i className="fas fa-map-marker-alt"></i>
<span>Location Filter</span>
</button>
<div className="dropdown-menu" aria-labelledby="dropdownMenuButton">
<LocationFilterButton label="Region" />
<LocationFilterButton label="County" />
<LocationFilterButton label="City" />
</div>
</div>
);
}
}
export default LocationFilterDropdown;
Step 3: Make the Dropdown Open and Close
To make the dropdown open and close, we will use the following design principles:
- Dropdown Toggle: A toggle button to open and close the dropdown.
- Dropdown Animation: A smooth animation to open and close the dropdown.
Dropdown Toggle
For this toggle, we will use a combination of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to create a visually appealing design. We will use the following design principles:
- Color Scheme: A soothing blue color scheme to represent the location filter.
- Typography: A clean and modern font to ensure readability.
- Iconography: A simple icon to represent the location filter.
<!-- Dropdown Toggle -->
<button class="dropdown-toggle" type="button" id="dropdownMenuButton" data-toggle="dropdown" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false">
<i class="fas fa-map-marker-alt"></i>
<span>Location Filter</span>
</button>
/* Dropdown Toggle Styles */
.dropdown-toggle {
background-color: #007bff;
color: #ffffff;
padding: 10px 20px;
border: none;
border-radius: 5px;
cursor: pointer;
}
.dropdown-toggle i {
font-size: 18px;
margin-right: 10px;
}
.dropdown-toggle span {
font-size: 16px;
font-weight: bold;
}
Dropdown Animation
To create a smooth animation, we will use the following design principles:
- Animation Type: A fade-in animation to open the dropdown.
- Animation Duration: A duration of 300ms to ensure a smooth animation.
/* Dropdown Animation Styles */
.dropdown-menu {
opacity: 0;
transition: opacity 300ms ease-in-out;
}
.dropdown-menu.show {
opacity: 1;
}
Dropdown Implementation
To implement this dropdown, we will use a combination of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. We will create a new file called location-filter-dropdown.js and add the following code:
// Dropdown Implementation
class LocationFilterDropdown extends React.Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = {
isOpen: false
};
}
toggleDropdown = () => {
this.setState({
isOpen: !this.state.isOpen
});
};
render() {
return (
<div className="location-filter-dropdown">
<button className="dropdown-toggle" type="button" id="dropdownMenuButton" data-toggle="dropdown" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded={this.state.isOpen} onClick={this.toggleDropdown}>
<i className="fas fa-map-marker-alt"></i>
<span>Location Filter</span>
</button>
<div className={`dropdown-menu ${this.state.isOpen ? 'show' : ''}`} aria-labelledby="dropdownMenuButton">
<LocationFilterButton label="Region" />
<LocationFilterButton label="County" />
<LocationFilterButton label="City" />
</div>
</div>
);
}
}
export default LocationFilterDropdown;
