[EuiCollapsibleNavBeta] Final collapsed/docked icon & popover behavior #7034

cee-chen · 2023-08-04T05:52:53Z

Summary

closes Updates to navigation components in support of Kibana nav redesign #6759 (although I'm still planning on one more PR after this which will contain an a11y pass)
✅ This PR is part 2 of 2 of completing EuiCollapsibleNavBeta's responsive/docked behavior.
- I opted to split out this work into separate PRs, as each PR was already fairly high in LOCs/review time
Previous PRs: [Beta] Add EuiCollapsibleNavItem component #6904, [EuiCollapsibleNavBeta] Build out component state and responsive behavior #7027

This PR implements the final collapsed/docked behavior on desktop/wider screens:

Each top-level navigation item should always have a tooltip
Navigation items with sub-items (would render an accordion normally) will instead render a popover
Navigation items with no sub-items will render a button/link as they would normally. Unlike non-collapsed items, a static <span> will never be rendered, as tooltips require focusable anchors for accessibility.

As always, there's a lot going on here and some commits specifically dedicated to cleaning up some things I missed in the previous PR, so follow along by commit!

QA

gh pr checkout 7034
yarn storybook

EuiCollapsedNavItem testing

Go to http://localhost:6006/?path=/story/euicollapsednavitem--playground
Play with the icon control and confirm it can be customized
Clear the icon control and confirm it falls back to a 'boxes' icon
Hover over the popover and confirm it renders a tooltip with the item title
Open the popover confirm the title is also displayed as a popover title, and can be a link
Clear the href control and confirm the popover title is no longer a link / is a static span
Edit the title control to a really long string and confirm the popover title truncates
Clear the items object of all keys and confirm the popover disappears, and the icon (if empty) now falls back to a link icon
Toggle the isSelected control and confirm a background color is applied

EuiCollapsibleNavBeta testing

Go to http://localhost:6006/?path=/story/euicollapsiblenavbeta--kibana-example
Ensure you're on desktop mode, then click the collapse button
Confirm all top-level collapse to their icons and render the expected tooltips/popovers
Confirm that on popover open, the tooltip disappears
Regression testing
- Open the Security item and confirm the nested accordion items work as expected
- On mobile screens, confirm the collapsible nav still retains its flyout / full-width behavior

General checklist

Checked in both light and dark modes
Checked in mobile
Checked in Chrome, Safari, Edge, and Firefox
Added or updated jest ~~and cypress tests~~
~~[ ] Checked for accessibility including keyboard-only and screenreader modes~~ While this is an "okay" experience currently, it could certainly be better. I plan on doing a separate a11y polish pass PR after this, and looping in Trevor for his expertise.

Skipping due to beta component status:
~~- [ ] A changelog entry exists and is marked appropriately~~
~~- [ ] Checked for breaking changes and labeled appropriately~~
- [ ] Props have proper autodocs (using @default if default values are missing) and playground toggles
- [ ] Added documentation
~~- [ ] Checked Code Sandbox works for any docs examples~~
~~- [ ] Updated the Figma library counterpart~~

- this isn't required by this PR, I just noticed it while working and wanted to clean up the className output of various sub-components to match their actual usage/component names

- `linkProps` should only be spread to actual EuiLink components, and not to the `span` - in reality, I'm not super sure how much of a difference this will make to consumers, but the upcoming collapsed nav item work will also behave this way and it's better to be consistent

- this may seem silly right now for just `EuiCollapsibleNavButton`, but it'll be needed by EuiCollapsibleNavBeta's children and grandchildren which we can't simply pass props directly to

- will be used by all top level items in collapsed/docked desktop state

- Similar to how `EuiCollapsibleNavAccordion` dogfoods `EuiCollapsibleNavLink`, this component dogfods `EuiCollapsedNavButton`

- which is a light wrapper similar to `EuiCollapsibleNavItemDisplay` that determines whether to render a nav component with or without items

…psibleNavItem`

- from both the nav toggle button and all docked button icons + fix missing `className`/`css` merging & tests on `EuiCollapsibleNavButton` - in theory EUI's the only ones using the component, but might as well make it flexible

- for mouse users, the cursor is still hovered over the button icon even when the popover is open, so the tooltip overlays on the popover title when it shouldn't - for keyboard users, this isn't an issue

- scrollbars that take up width (e.g. windows, mac setting) will cut too much into icon visibility otherwise. This CSS visually hides the scrollbars for all supported browsers while still allowing the containers to remain scrollable

+    euiCollapsibleNavButton: css`
+      &.euiButtonIcon:hover {
+        transform: none;
+      }
+    `,


This commit (965b476) was a request from Marcialis. I missed implementing it as part of the previous PR so figured I'd grab it in here.

The &.euiButtonIcon specificity is unfortunately necessary to override EuiButtonicon's existing hover CSS.

+    // tooltip to appear if so - the popover already renders the item title
+    hidden: css`
+      display: none;
+    `,


Without this extra logic/CSS, you get this silliness:

You can still overlap the tooltips of other nav items onto open popovers, but at least that doesn't repeat information.

Great catch!

cee-chen · 2023-08-04T06:31:11Z

+      /* This extra padding is needed for EuiPopovers to have enough
+         space to render with the right anchorPosition */
+      ${logicalCSS('padding-bottom', euiTheme.size.xs)}


Otherwise we get this:

When we want this:

cee-chen · 2023-08-04T06:33:50Z

src/components/collapsible_nav_beta/collapsible_nav_beta.styles.ts

+    isDesktopCollapsed: css`
+      /* Hide the scrollbar for docked mode (while still keeping the nav scrollable) 
+         Otherwise if scrollbars are visible, button icon visibility suffers */
+      &,
+      .euiFlyoutBody__overflow {
+        scrollbar-width: none; /* Firefox */
+
+        &::-webkit-scrollbar {
+          display: none; /* Chrome, Edge, & Safari */
+        }
+      }
+    `,


Without this conditional CSS, you get this horrible shenanigans:

Which, I guarantee, will unfortunately only look worse on Windows 😬

I'm opting to only set this on for the docked/icon mode, as the normal nav items display will adjust to accommodate a scrollbar width.

Quick note - I just pushed up a naming refactor (a582ddc), but that should be my last set of changes / this PR is all ready to review after that :)

cee-chen · 2023-08-04T06:38:17Z

...components/collapsible_nav_beta/collapsible_nav_item/collapsed/collapsed_nav_button.test.tsx

Just want to note - I know this test (and dev tools) triggers this warning repeatedly:

I'm opting to skip it for now and tackle it in a separate accessibility PR/pass. The main reason it's actually not a major a11y issue is because of the wrapping EuiToolTip, which sets an aria-describedby on the button icon.

So the title will still get read out, albeit less quickly than an aria-label would. But if I try to set an aria-label now, what happens is the title then gets repeated twice due to the tooltip describedby, which TBH feels worse. So I'd rather try to fix the issue more completely, hence the separate follow-up work.

- I totally missed this in the Figma mocks 🥲

- instead of using `small`/`mobile`/`desktop`, use `push` vs `overlay` naming instead, which better describes what state the flyout is in - this matches the paradigm we want of container vs media queries - we should be describing how the *flyout* is behaving, not what size we think the user's screen is

This looks good overall. I spent a good amount of time with the collapse functionality and verifying across different screen sizes. The ability to navigate when the menu is collapsed (on desktop) is a nice touch!

[Consideration] I also spent some time with keyboard navigation. I know another PR for accessibility is coming down the line, but wanted to throw in this note. When the menu is collapsed and you're using the keyboard to navigate to the first item in the menu, it takes three tab pressed to land there. I don't think this is the same as the tabbing issue we identified in the last PR because there are no children between the collapse button and the home item.

[Change request] It looks like the arrow states for the accordions are backwards. When the parent is collapsed, I believe the arrow should point down. When the parent is open, the parent should point up. I double checked with this with the Figma spec. I'm not sure how I missed that before, sorry about that!

+  const [isOverlayFullWidth, setIsOverlayFullWidth] = useState(false);


I like this change! It's very intuitive.

Music to my ears!! 😁

+        ${logicalCSS('min-height', '50%')}
+      }

Good call on this. I toyed around by opening all of the toggles between the flyout body and footer. Hopefully no one would do this, but this is nice just in case.

Haha, I remembered that one issue/bug report we got previously and tried to get ahead of it! :)

Great catch!

🤦 You're totally right, thank you so much for catching that! 2a1ec67

I don't think this is the same as the tabbing issue we identified in the last PR because there are no children between the collapse button and the home item.

Yep, great catch on this, I noticed the same thing. This behavior is a factor of several issues: Push flyouts in general have odd accessibility compared to non-push flyouts (see #6576), and also the euiFlyoutBody__overflow has a non-configurable tabIndex={0}. So the extra tab stops are being caused the flyout itself (which can be resolved by auto-focusing the flyout on open state, which all push flyouts should do), and the scrolling region needs to be able to intelligently detect whether or not it needs a tabIndex={0} instead of just setting one by default.

All of the above are mediumly complex issues to resolve that I don't want to hold up Kibana's work for, since we can continue to work on them in the background and a11y fixes should Just Work later. 🤞
