Class hierarchy:
The element defines the following shadow parts:
-
arrow-button: both of the arrow buttons, default type is PlainArrowDirectionButton -
arrow-button-next: the arrow button that navigates to the next item -
arrow-button-previous: the arrow button that navigates to the previous item -
arrow-icon: both of the default arrow icons used in the arrow buttons -
arrow-icon-next: the arrow icon that points to the next item -
arrow-icon-previous: the arrow icon that points to the previous item -
proxy: an element representing an item in the list, default type is PlainPageDot -
proxy-list: the container for the list of proxies, default type is PlainCenteredStripOpacity -
stage: the main element showing a single item from the list, default type is CrossfadeStage
arrow
True if the arrow buttons should overlap the component contents; false if they should appear to the side of the contents.
Type: boolean
Default: true
Defined by ArrowDirectionMixin
arrow
The class or tag used to create the arrow-button parts – the
previous/next arrow buttons.

booleanname, value) static method
Given a string value for a named boolean attribute, return true if the
value is either: a) the empty string, or b) a case-insensitive match for the
name.
This is native HTML behavior; see the MDN documentation on boolean attributes for the reasoning.
Given a null value, this return false.
Given a boolean value, this return the value as is.
Parameters:
- name:
string– - value:
string|boolean|null–

can
True if the item cursor can be moved to the next item, false if not (the current item is the last item in the list).
Type: boolean

closeststate, options) method
Look for an item which is available in the given state..
The options parameter can accept options for:
direction: 1 to move forward, -1 to move backwardindex: the index to start at, defaults tostate.currentIndexwrap: whether to wrap around the ends of theitemsarray, defaults tostate.cursorOperationsWrap.
If an available item was found, this returns its index. If no item was found, this returns -1.
Parameters:
- state:
PlainObject– - options:

dark property
True if the component should configure itself for display on a dark background; false if the component should assume a light background.
The default value of this property is inferred when the component is
initially added to the page. The component will look up its hierarchy for
an ancestor that has an explicit background color. If the color's
lightness value in the HSL cylindrical-coordinate system is below 50%,
the background is assumed to be dark and dark will default to true.
If the color is lighter than that, or no explicit background color can be
found, the default value of dark will be false.
Type: boolean
Defined by DarkModeMixin
default
The default state for the component. This can be extended by mixins and classes to provide additional default state.
Type: PlainObject
Defined by ReactiveMixin
detect
Determines whether the component should automatially try to detect whether it should apply dark mode.
Type: 'auto'|'off'
Default: 'auto'

ids property
A convenient shortcut for looking up an element by ID in the component's Shadow DOM subtree.
Example: if component's template contains a shadow element <button id="foo">, you can use the reference this[ids].foo to obtain
the corresponding button in the component instance's shadow tree. The
ids property is simply a shorthand for getElementById, so
this[ids].foo is the same as
this[shadowRoot].getElementById('foo').
Type: object

playing property
proxies property
The current set of proxy elements that correspond to the component's
main items. If you have assigned elements to the proxy slot, this
returns the collection of those elements. Otherwise, this will return
a collection of default proxies generated by the component, one for
each item.
Type: Array.

True if the list of proxies should overlap the stage, false if not.
Type: boolean
Default: false
Defined by Explorer

of selectable proxies representing the items in the list.
Type: (component class constructor)|HTMLTemplateElement|string
Default: ListBox
Defined by Explorer
proxy
The position of the proxy list relative to the stage.
The start and end values refer to text direction: in left-to-right
languages such as English, these are equivalent to left and right,
respectively.
Type: 'bottom'|'end'|'left'|'right'|'start'|'top'
Default: 'start'

The class or tag used to create the proxy parts - the default
representations for the list's items.
Type: (component class constructor)|HTMLTemplateElement|string
Default: 'div'

render(changed) method
Render the indicated changes in state to the DOM.
The default implementation of this method does nothing. Override this method in your component to update your component's host element and any shadow elements to reflect the component's new state. See the rendering example.
Be sure to call super in your method implementation so that your
component's base classes and mixins have a chance to perform their own
render work.
Parameters:
- changed:
ChangedFlags– dictionary of flags indicating which state members have changed since the last render
Defined by ReactiveMixin
render) method
Render any pending component changes to the DOM.
This method does nothing if the state has not changed since the last render call.
ReactiveMixin will invoke this method following a setState call;
you should not need to invoke this method yourself.
This method invokes the internal render method, then invokes the
rendered method.
Defined by ReactiveMixin
rendered(changed) method
Perform any work that must happen after state changes have been rendered to the DOM.
The default implementation of this method does nothing. Override this
method in your component to perform work that requires the component to
be fully rendered, such as setting focus on a shadow element or
inspecting the computed style of an element. If such work should result
in a change in component state, you can safely call setState during the
rendered method.
Be sure to call super in your method implementation so that your
component's base classes and mixins have a chance to perform their own
post-render work.
Parameters:
- changed:
ChangedFlags–
Defined by ReactiveMixin
selected
The index of the selected item, or -1 if no item is selected.
Type: number
Defined by SingleSelectAPIMixin
selectedindexchange event
Raised when the selectedIndex property changes.
Defined by SingleSelectAPIMixin
selected
selectioneffectend event
This event is raised if the current stage applies a transition
effect when changing the selection, and the selection effect has
completed. CrossfadeStage applies such an effect,
for example.
The order of events when the selectedIndex property changes is
therefore: selectedindexchange (occurs immediately when the index
changes), followed by selectioneffectend (occurs some time later).
Defined by Explorer
setchanges) method
Update the component's state by merging the specified changes on top of the existing state. If the component is connected to the document, and the new state has changed, this returns a promise to asynchronously render the component. Otherwise, this returns a resolved promise.
Parameters:
- changes:
PlainObject– the changes to apply to the element's state
Returns: Promise - resolves when the new state has been rendered
Defined by ReactiveMixin
stage
The class or tag used for the main "stage" element that shows a single item at a time.
Type: (component class constructor)|HTMLTemplateElement|string
Default: Modes
Defined by Explorer
state property
The component's current state.
The returned state object is immutable. To update it, invoke
internal.setState.
It's extremely useful to be able to inspect component state while
debugging. If you append ?elixdebug=true to a page's URL, then
ReactiveMixin will conditionally expose a public state property that
returns the component's state. You can then access the state in your
browser's debug console.
Type: PlainObject
Defined by ReactiveMixin
statestate, changed) method
Ask the component whether a state with a set of recently-changed fields implies that additional second-order changes should be applied to that state to make it consistent.
This method is invoked during a call to internal.setState to give all
of a component's mixins and classes a chance to respond to changes in
state. If one mixin/class updates state that it controls, another
mixin/class may want to respond by updating some other state member that
it controls.
This method should return a dictionary of changes that should be applied
to the state. If the dictionary object is not empty, the
internal.setState method will apply the changes to the state, and
invoke this stateEffects method again to determine whether there are
any third-order effects that should be applied. This process repeats
until all mixins/classes report that they have no additional changes to
make.
See an example of how ReactiveMixin invokes the stateEffects to
ensure state consistency.
Parameters:
- state:
PlainObject– a proposal for a new state - changed:
ChangedFlags– the set of fields changed in this latest proposal for the new state
Returns: PlainObject
