filter-bar
Use a native form to collect a data view’s search and filter values. Submit, reset, AngularTS binding, and backend queries keep their existing ownership.
Example
View source
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1" />
<title>AngularCSS Filter Bar</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../../css/preflight.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../../css/angular.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../example.css" />
<script src="../../js/angular-ts.umd.js"></script>
<script src="../../js/angular-css.umd.js"></script>
</head>
<body ng-app="angular.css" ng-cloak data-example="filter-bar-demo">
<main class="visual-example">
<form role="search" aria-label="Filter orders">
<fieldset>
<legend class="visually-hidden">Order filters</legend>
<label>
Search
<input type="search" name="query" placeholder="Order or customer" />
</label>
<label>
Status
<select name="status">
<option value="">All statuses</option>
<option>Open</option>
<option>Complete</option>
</select>
</label>
</fieldset>
<menu>
<button variant="outline" type="reset">Reset</button>
<button type="submit">Apply</button>
</menu>
</form>
</main>
</body>
</html>
Installation
Load the AngularCSS stylesheet. This entry needs no AngularCSS JavaScript or angular.css module dependency. Add AngularTS when using application bindings such as ng-model or ng-click. See Installation for the complete setup.
This entry uses native HTML and CSS. AngularCSS registers no runtime directive for it. Semantic search and filter form.
Anatomy
Root styling selector
form[role="search"]:has(> fieldset + menu)
Semantic structure
Use role="search" on a native form with a direct fieldset followed by a direct action menu. Put labeled controls in the fieldset and submit or reset actions in the menu.
API
Attributes and state
| Attribute | Access | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
role | Authored | Explicit semantic role when native HTML does not provide one. |
Attributes remain authored HTML, native state, or AngularTS inputs. AngularCSS does not write element state.
CSS custom properties
This styling hook does not define component-specific CSS custom properties.
DOM events
This component does not emit a component-specific custom event.
Native DOM events continue to work normally. AngularTS event directives such as
ng-click and ng-keydown, plus the data-change model callback, remain application-owned.
Behavior
Filter Bar is a native form composition. The browser and AngularTS own control values and submission; the backend may remain authoritative for queries, result counts, and pagination.
AngularCSS does not replace AngularTS interpolation, bindings, structural directives, form controllers, validation, or application state.
Accessibility
Use a native form and fieldset with accessible labels. Submit applies the query, reset restores defaults, and result changes should be announced near the results they affect.
Authored accessible names and relationships are preserved. Test the final composition with keyboard navigation and assistive technology because labels and content come from the application.
Customization
Target semantic elements, native state selectors, and component classes with ordinary CSS. Behavior and accessible state remain with native HTML and AngularTS; visual choices belong in the application stylesheet.
