I am attempting to create a grid caret with a top and bottom caret that displays a grey area when the user hovers over each side.
<div class="control-wrap">
<div class="caret-wrap">
<span class="caret">▲</span>
</div>
<div class="caret-wrap">
<span class="caret">▼</span>
</div>
</div>
While my progress is going well, I am facing an issue with the hover effect not filling the remaining space around the caret.
Check out the demo here.
By making a few adjustments - within the .control-wrap class, you can organize the layout of the child elements (.caret-wrap), and within the child elements (.caret-wrap), you can manage the position of the caret symbol.
.control-wrap {
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
width: 20px;
height: 30px;
margin: 0px 10px;
border: 1px solid;
}
.caret-wrap {
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
align-items: center;
flex-grow: 1;
cursor: pointer;
font-size: 8px;
}
.caret-wrap:hover {
background: #ddd;
}
.caret-wrap:active {
color: grey;
}<div class="control-wrap">
<div class="caret-wrap">
<span class="caret">▲</span>
</div>
<div class="caret-wrap">
<span class="caret">▼</span>
</div>
</div>To optimize the layout, it is recommended to make the following CSS adjustments. Remove align-items: center; and justify-content: space-evenly; from the .control-wrap class and add flex: 1 1 auto;, align-items: center;, justify-content: center; to the .caret-wrap class. This will ensure that child items receive full width and available height while aligning the caret in the center. For a visual representation, you can refer to the updated fiddle here.
Below is the revised CSS code:
.control-wrap {
width: 20px;
/* align-items: center; */
display: flex;
flex-flow: column;
margin: 0px 10px;
border: 1px solid;
height: 30px;
/* justify-content: space-evenly; */
.caret-wrap {
cursor: pointer;
font-size: 8px;
padding-left: 2px;
padding-right: 2px;
flex: 1 1 auto;
display: flex;
align-items: center;
justify-content: center;
&:hover {
background: #ddd;
}
&:active {
color: grey;
}
}
}
In this scenario, the use of Flexbox is not necessary. The layout can be achieved without flexbox.
Furthermore, when it comes to symbols, it is advisable to utilize HTML entities instead of inserting the symbol directly into the code.
* {
box-sizing: border-box;
}
.control-wrap {
width: 20px;
margin: 0px 10px;
border: 1px solid;
height: 30px;
}
.caret-wrap {
cursor: pointer;
font-size: 8px;
height: 50%;
text-align: center;
padding: 2px;
background: red;
}
.caret-wrap:hover {
background: #ddd;
}
.caret-wrap:active {
color: grey;
}<div class="control-wrap">
<div class="caret-wrap">
<span class="caret">▲</span>
</div>
<div class="caret-wrap">
<span class="caret">▼</span>
</div>
