📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds an unset state to limel-slider, with nullable values, clear-button support, localized messages, styling updates, translation fallback handling, integration updates, examples, and tests.

Changes

Slider unset and clear feature

Layer / File(s) Summary
Slider unset and clear behavior
src/components/slider/slider.tsx
Adds nullable value handling, unset-state rendering, midpoint positioning, localized accessibility text, clear behavior, focus restoration, and normalized change events.
Translation lookup and slider messages
src/global/translations.ts, src/global/translations.spec.ts, src/translations/*.ts
Adds Norwegian Bokmål mapping, English fallback handling, optional parameter handling, clear/unset messages, and translation tests.
Unset and clear-button styling
src/components/slider/slider.scss, src/components/slider/partial-styles/_thumb.scss
Adds unset track and thumb styling, clear-button styling, conditional spacing, shared track colors, and centered indicator content.
Nullable integrations, examples, and behavioral tests
src/components/form/widgets/slider.ts, src/components/{chip,chip-set,file}/examples/*, src/components/slider/examples/*, src/components/slider/slider.spec.tsx, src/examples/whats-new/examples/*
Updates slider consumers for nullable events, adds required and unset examples, updates image quality handling, and tests unset transitions, clearing, accessibility labels, focus, track interaction, and event emission.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 4a800

The slider’s unset state currently displays the wrong indicator and may announce stale accessibility text, while valid falsy translation values can be mishandled and the clear control remains undersized. These are localized correctness and accessibility issues, so merge should wait for fixes or explicit owner acceptance.

I haven't thought deeply about it, but my gut says it's better to take the "honest" route, and make this a breaking change.

The typing in itself only matters for typescript, so the compiled javascript won't stop working. So for the type itself, other packages won't have to update anything until they update their dev-dependency on lime-elements to a version including the change.

So, the question is, do those existing packages already handle null the same way as they already handle NaN? If they do, I definitely think we should go with null. The way to test this is to install some other package that uses a slider along with a version of lime-elements with the null version of the change, but not install that version of lime-elements in that other package. That package should be built with its own old dependency on lime-elements, and should only "meet" the new version at runtime inside the web client. Ping me if you're unsure how I mean!

Tapping the middle of an unset slider does nothing — the native input already rests there, so no input event fires and the slider stays unset.

…lue-not-set`

These are useful for various input-type components,
specially to be used as `aria-label` or `aria-valuetext`
The slider was the only input in the library that could not be empty: it
always resolved to a value and rendered "unset" identically to the
minimum. It now supports an explicit unset state — the thumb rests
centered with no fill, the indicator shows a placeholder instead of a
number, the label stays unfloated, and assistive technology announces
"Value not set" through `aria-valuetext`.

A trailing clear button (with a context-aware `aria-label` and a tooltip)
lets users return to the unset state. Clearing emits `null` on the
`change` event, so its payload is no longer always a number.

Refs #4161

BREAKING CHANGE: `limel-slider`'s `change` event emits `null` when the
value is cleared, widening its payload from `number` to `number | null`.
The `value` prop accepts `number | null` for the same reason, so a
cleared value can be handed straight back to the slider. Handlers that
assume a number must guard for `null`; every optional, editable slider
can now be cleared by the user.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
When the value was cleared, focus stayed on the clear button, which
immediately disables itself — so focus fell to the document body. Move
focus to the range input instead, so keyboard users can adjust the value
right away and assistive technology announces the now-unset state.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Behavioral specs for the new unset/clear functionality: a non-finite
value renders the empty state (`?` indicator, "Value not set"), a finite
value including 0 counts as set, the empty state ends on first
interaction, the clear button's contextual label and its disabled and
visibility rules (hidden for required and readonly sliders), and clearing
emits `NaN`, enters the unset state, and moves focus to the slider.

Stencil v4 state updates asynchronous render queue requestAnimationFrame focus after state change accessibility aria-valuetext

💡 Result:

In Stencil v4, state updates trigger a re-render scheduled through an internal asynchronous rendering queue [1]. This design is intentional to batch updates, improve performance, and prevent UI "jank" [1]. Because rendering is non-blocking and asynchronous, changes to properties or state do not immediately reflect in the DOM [2]. Consequently, synchronous DOM operations, such as calling .focus() or manipulating elements, that occur immediately after a state update will often fail because the DOM has not yet been updated to reflect that state [2]. To reliably perform actions after a state change (such as focusing an element or updating accessibility attributes like aria-valuetext), you must wait for the component to complete its render cycle [2]. While setTimeout() is sometimes used as a workaround to defer execution to the next event loop tick, it is generally considered brittle [2]. The recommended approach is to use Stencil’s lifecycle methods that execute after the DOM has been updated, such as componentDidUpdate() or componentDidRender() [3][4]. If necessary, you can also use requestAnimationFrame to ensure your DOM manipulation occurs after the browser has completed the next paint [2]. For accessibility specifically, if you are updating aria-valuetext dynamically in response to state changes, ensure these updates occur within the render cycle. If you need to manage focus, using delegatesFocus: true on your component can simplify focus management within Shadow DOM [5]. When custom imperative focus is required, implementing the logic within componentDidUpdate()—ensuring you verify the "dirty" state to avoid infinite loops—is the standard practice [3][4].

site:stenciljs.com docs Stencil state update asynchronous componentDidRender queue update

💡 Result:

In Stencil, state updates are handled asynchronously by design to optimize performance [1]. When you update a property decorated with @Prop or @State, Stencil does not immediately re-render the component; instead, it schedules a re-render to occur, often in the next frame [1][2]. Regarding the interaction between lifecycle methods and state updates: 1. Asynchronous Updates: The render process is inherently batched. Methods like forceUpdate are also non-synchronous and may perform the DOM render in the next frame [2][3]. 2. componentDidRender and Lifecycle Recommendations: Stencil explicitly advises against updating rendered state within componentDidRender, componentDidUpdate, or componentDidLoad [4][5]. Because these methods run after the render cycle has already completed, updating state inside them triggers an additional render cycle, which is inefficient [4][5]. 3. Infinite Loop Risk: If you must update state within componentDidUpdate or componentDidRender, you risk creating an infinite render loop [4][5]. To avoid this, you must implement a "dirty check" to ensure that state is only updated if the new value is actually different from the old value [4][5]. 4. Recommended Approach: The preferred location for making state updates before a render is the componentWillRender lifecycle hook [4][5]. This method is specifically designed to allow updates before the component's render function is called [4][5]. Some lifecycle hooks—specifically componentWillLoad, componentWillRender, and componentWillUpdate—can return a Promise. This allows you to perform asynchronous tasks (such as data fetching) and ensures that the component waits for these operations to complete before continuing the render cycle [4][5].

Defer focus until the unset render completes. Stencil updates aria-valuetext asynchronously, so the synchronous focus() call can announce the previous value. Use a post-render callback or requestAnimationFrame, and add a regression test that checks the focused input has the updated aria-valuetext.

The premise is correct, but the suggested change would trade this for a worse problem, so I'm leaving the synchronous focus() in place.

I probed the actual ordering in the spec harness:

before click:            aria-valuetext = null
immediately after click: aria-valuetext = null            <- when .focus() runs
after waitForChanges:    aria-valuetext = "Value not set"
clear button [disabled]: false (sync)  ->  true (after render)

So yes, the attribute lags the focus call. But the same probe shows why the focus is synchronous: the clear button is still enabled at that instant. That's deliberate — fix(slider): focus the slider after clearing its value exists precisely to stop focus falling to <body> when the button self-disables a frame later.

Deferring to requestAnimationFrame/componentDidRender puts the focus call after the button becomes disabled. A focused element that becomes disabled hands focus to <body>, so focus would round-trip button -> body -> input, firing a focusout/focusin pair and giving assistive tech a document change to announce before it ever reaches the slider. That's a regression, not a fix.

On impact: aria-valuetext changing on an already-focused slider is the same mechanism that announces every drag, so screen readers do pick the new value up. The residue is a possible "3" then "Value not set" double announcement — imperfect, but no information is lost.

Also worth flagging: the proposed regression test wouldn't cover the claim. Asserting aria-valuetext on the focused input after waitForChanges() already passes on current code and says nothing about announcement ordering; there's no way to assert what a screen reader utters from this harness.

If we want it airtight without touching focus order, the option is to set the attribute imperatively immediately before focusing, so the render that follows writes the identical value:

this.inputElement?.setAttribute(
    'aria-valuetext',
    translate.get('value-not-set', this.language)
);
this.inputElement?.focus();

Happy to do that if reviewers prefer it; the cost is one imperative write duplicating render output.

`translate.get` indexed `allTranslations[language][key]` directly, so a
`language` in the `Languages` type without translations threw a `TypeError`
and crashed the render. It now falls back to English (then the raw key) for
any unmapped language, and maps `nb` (Norwegian Bokmål) to the existing
Norwegian (`no`) translations.

Surfaced by the slider's new `language` prop via the composite example's
runtime test.

While unset the native input already rests at the step-aligned midpoint,
so a press that lands on that midpoint leaves its value untouched and the
browser fires neither `input` nor `change`. The press was swallowed and
the slider stayed unset.

A drag that wandered away from the midpoint and returned before releasing
was worse: `input` fired, so the indicator showed a number, but no
`change` followed and the consumer never received a value.

Both now commit through a single path, keyed on whether the value on
display has actually reached the consumer, so the rendered state and the
emitted value cannot diverge.

Steps run from `valuemin`, not from zero: a 1-5 range in steps of 2 stops
at 1, 3 and 5. Rounding the committed value against zero pushed each of
those to the next even number, so 5 became 6 and overshot `valuemax`.

The resting midpoint was already computed relative to `valuemin`, so
pressing the track on such a range emitted a value the slider itself
could not hold.

`NaN` typechecks as a `number`, so the compiler stayed silent while every
optional slider gained the ability to hand its consumers a value that
poisons arithmetic. `NaN` also has no JSON representation, so anything
persisting a cleared slider round-tripped as `null` anyway and the
in-memory value disagreed with the stored one.

Clearing now emits `null`, and `value` accepts `number | null` so the
emitted value can be handed straight back to the slider. Any non-finite
value, `NaN` and `undefined` included, still unsets it, so existing
callers keep working at runtime.

The library's own consumers are updated with it: the rjsf widget forwards
`null` into form state, the progress examples fall back to 0, and the
image resize example omits `quality` so the browser's native encoding
quality is used instead of an imposed one.

BREAKING CHANGE: `limel-slider`'s `change` event emits `null` when the
value is cleared, widening its payload from `number` to `number | null`,
and the `value` prop accepts `number | null` for the same reason.
Handlers that assume a number must guard for `null`.

Adds specs for pressing the track while unset, for a drag that returns to
the resting position, for step alignment on a range that does not start on
a step, and for the `null` payload emitted on clear.

The `NaN` and `undefined` cases are kept as coverage that any non-finite
value still unsets the slider.

`translate.get` had no test anywhere. Covers the English fallback for an
unknown language, the `nb` alias, an unknown key, and merge-code
substitution.

Also stops the substitution from throwing when a translation containing a
merge code is fetched without params, which no current caller does.

Two problems with the clear button, both invisible to the accessibility
gate because axe skips disabled controls for contrast.

`is-flat-clickable` is applied inside `:not([disabled])`, and it sets
`color`. That selector outranks the bare `color` on the rule itself, so
the white the rule declared only ever reached the *disabled* button —
drawn on the muted background the disabled state also sets. In the light
theme that is #fff on #e8e8ea, about 1.2:1, so the cross read as an empty
grey dot. Every slider that starts unset opens in exactly that state. The
colour now lives with the state it belongs to, and the disabled one gets
a muted value of its own that still clears 3.5:1 in both themes.

The room reserved for the button was keyed off `:not([required])`, which
matches on attribute *presence*. Stencil parses the attribute string
"false" into `false`, so `required="false"` — which is what a Vue
template emits for a custom element — rendered the button while
reserving nothing for it, leaving it on top of the track's trailing step
dot. The stylesheet cannot see a parsed prop, so it now keys off a host
class the component sets from the same value that decides whether to
render the button at all, rather than deriving the answer a second time
from attribute strings.

@Befkadu1 tnx for the great review and all the fixups

`translate.get` merged parameters with `||`, so `0`, `false` and `''`
counted as absent and the merge code was left in the string: a `count` of
`0` rendered "{ count } hidden lines" rather than "0 hidden lines".

Nothing hits it today — every numeric call site in `code-diff` happens to
guard against zero before translating — but `||` is the wrong test for a
value that may legitimately be falsy, so the next caller would have found
it. `??` reserves the fallback for a parameter that really is missing,
which is what the existing behaviour for an absent param relies on.
