UnitControl: Add support for unit step per unit type #30376

rmorse · 2021-03-30T10:10:31Z

Description

The UnitControl component does not support a "step" value. Therefor it always increments exactly by 1.

This is probably not desired for certain unit types (i.e., rem, em, etc) in certain situations.

This update, allows for adding a "step" property to the units argument - so it can be controlled on a per unit type basis:

So we can now do this:

    const units = [
    	{ value: 'px', label: 'px', default: 0, step: 1 },
    	{ value: '%', label: '%', default: 10, step: 1 },
    	{ value: 'em', label: 'em', default: 0, step: 0.1 },
    ];

It defaults to a value of 1, if the unit type does not contain a step (for backwards compatibility).

Personally, I wanted to use this as an improved "Line height" control, that also supports units, and the first unit is blank:
{ value: '', label: '', default: 1, step: 0.1 },
But I think there is a good argument for supporting different steps for different use cases on a per unit basis.

How has this been tested?

I've tested the component by following the example, by suppling a step, and without.

All incremements behave as expected.

I have not tested the React Native stuff - but I have updated the code. I checked, and it looks like RangeCell and StepperCell both have a step property so this should work - can someone test this? (I'm not sure how to)

Screenshots

Don't worry about the value reset on unit change - this is not hooked up to state.
This example uses the following props for unit types (notice 0.1 step on em, rem, and empty)

const unitTypes = [
	{ value: '', label: '', default: 1, step: 0.1 },
	{ value: 'px', label: 'px', default: 0 },
	{ value: '%', label: '%', default: 0 },
	{ value: 'em', label: 'em', default: 0, step: 0.1 },
	{ value: 'rem', label: 'rem', default: 0, step: 0.1 },
	{ value: 'vw', label: 'vw', default: 0 },
	{ value: 'vh', label: 'vh', default: 0 },
];

Types of changes

Minor improvement - we check the unit types argument, for a step value and pass that into our number input, if it is not present, default to a step of 1

@ItsJonQ - thought I would flag you on this as you've been working on the previous iterations and will have a sense if this is in the right direction.

@aristath @gziolo @mcsf Can you take a look at this PR?
Thanks!

aristath · 2021-04-13T05:27:19Z

What are all the changes to package-lock.json for?

rmorse · 2021-04-13T06:26:29Z

Hmm there shouldn't have been, maybe a bad merge on my side, I'll double check later on today and see if I can get this tidied up.

mcsf · 2021-04-15T11:45:01Z

@rmorse: thanks for the PR. Ensuring that certain units, like em, can default to stepping by 0.1 makes sense as far as the user is concerned. However, I wanted to correct the opening assumption:

The UnitControl component does not support a "step" value. Therefor it always increments exactly by 1.

The component does accept step as a prop, which it will pass down until it reaches NumberControl. I agree that this isn't clear, and the inheritance model used by the *Control components makes it hard to determine what the full API is.

@nosolosw: is the addition of units to line-height compatible with what you're doing in Global Styles?

If so, then @rmorse, we could go with your suggestion to provide step defaults for each unit in CSS_UNITS, as long as we don't override any incoming step prop:

let step = stepProp;
if ( ! step ) {
  const activeUnit = units.find( ( option ) => option.value === unit );
  step = activeUnit?.step ? activeUnit.step : 1;
}

My last note is to treat the non-unit, '', locally in LineHeightControl and not in UnitControl. That's because, in other contexts, it may refer to larger or strictly integer values (e.g. columns: 2).

Things that relate to this from the "theme.json" perspective are:

There's interest in adding units other than pixels for font sizes How to absorb font size units #25137 Add relative units for font size option #23323 so I wonder how/whether these are related to each other.
We do have some units in the theme.json spec https://developer.wordpress.org/block-editor/how-to-guides/themes/theme-json/#settings although they seem to affect only spacing properties (margin, padding), as far as I know. If we add these in the line-height control and others, we may want to add the corresponding setting in theme.json for themes to control which ones to display.

rmorse · 2021-04-18T18:10:34Z

@mcsf - I've updated that. To confirm logic:

The UnitControl can accept a step prop, and that should supercede the step value associated with units
It is expected that this prop, is applied to all units when passed

I've added your suggestion to the PR (and also added a condition to default to the first unit type, if somehow one wasn't found)

Thanks @mcsf , now done - I didn't understand those fails on units being able to be false - should have spotted the bad variable name though ;)

LGTM. I tested the changes for native on an iPhone 11 simulator and Samsung Galaxy S20 to test for any regressions.

I also opened wordpress-mobile/gutenberg-mobile#3479 to allow additional native CI tests to run for this change. I'd recommend awaiting those to pass before merging.

dcalhoun · 2021-05-11T17:14:57Z

The current failures in wordpress-mobile/gutenberg-mobile#3479 are unrelated to the changes in this PR and have been resolved in wordpress-mobile/gutenberg-mobile#3477. We should be good to go for merging this work. 👍🏻
