We want to allow the control to take up the full width of the parent.
This will most likely break something if you try to upgrade directly.
Should be fixable by putting the control in an element with
the appropriate width.
tl;dr; Use a class for each variant instead of overriding one variant.
Before, we relied on CSS specificity in an unclear way.
The `Focused` class was applying properly because it was ordered later
than the `Tab` class in the stylesheet.
The ordering that is important is the ordering in `styles` value.
Since `elm-css` generates the stylesheet in the order of the lists,
the `Focused` rule would be generated after the `Tab` rule.
Meaning the `Focused` rule would take precedence over the `Tab` rule
if an element had both classes as it was defined later in the stylesheet.
There are some concerns with this approach:
1. It's not readily apparent that the ordering in `styles` is important.
It is pretty easy to change the ordering of the list
and have it break the styling.
2. We rely on `elm-css` to generate the stylesheet in a specific order.
If it changes the order of rules it generates,
we're almost surely going to break the styling.
3. Altering styles for tabs that are not focused is even less intuitive.
Since the specificity is the same,
you might not know why a given rule applies (or doesn't apply).
Rather, we can eschew the specificity/precedence issues
by applying a different class to each tab.
The stuff that is the same can stay on the `Tab` class,
and the stuff that differs can be on different classes.
We are now able to set the background color for `Unfocused` tabs.
We were relying on the control being placed atop a white background.
When we moved to using the control atop a non-whitebackground,
it showed that the `Unfocused` tabs had a transparent backround.
All of our designs show `Unfocused` tabs with a white backround.
See https://github.com/NoRedInk/noredink-ui/pull/14 for more information.
This version is like `Nri.Ui.SegmentedControl.V1` with the icon changes.
It has the fix for `box-sizing`.
All the other caveats from `Nri.Ui.SegmentedControl.V1`
(if there were any) apply here as well.
The recommendation is to break the styles API rather than the view API
when moving something out of the monolith into this repo.
`Nri.Icon` is not really setup for that sort of breakage.
If we would prefer to have the styles break rather than the view,
that will take more work.
Work that can be done independent of the extraction.
The transition in the monolith ought to look something like:
```elm
module Nri.Icon exposing (..)
import Html exposing (Html)
import Nri.SvgSprite
import Nri.Ui.Icon.V1 exposing (Assets, IconType)
icon : { alt : String, icon : IconType } -> Html msg
icon config =
Nri.Ui.Icon.V1.icon assets
assets : Assets {}
assets =
{ activity = Nri.SvgSprite.activity
, arrowDown = Nri.SvgSprite.arrowDown
, attention_svg = Nri.Assets.attention_svg
...
}
```
So hopefully, the change is still very small on the monolith side.
There's maybe a bigger concern than which API breaks.
`Nri.Icon` has some behavior for a11y.
We could definitely change the internals over during the extraction.
But, since all of these changes are value-level changes,
it's very likely that we'll break something in the process.
That's a bigger concern because instead of affecting
the handful of Engineers working at NRI,
we would be affecting the millions of people using the site.
We shouldn't fear making those kinds of changes.
However, we should make them when we can give them the appropriate
attention they deserve.
Not when one person is trying to move as fast as possible to avoid
race conditions of moving modules between repos.
