Focus Picker

import "@taprootio/espalier/focus-picker";

<esp-focus-picker>

A keyboard- and pointer-operable focal-point authoring control with live banner-cover previews.

The HTML value is focus="x y". In JavaScript use .focusPoint; the name avoids replacing the platform's required HTMLElement.focus() method.

Attributes

<esp-focus-picker> has the following attributes:

src

src has a default value of "".

Image URL shown in the authoring surface and live previews.

alt

alt has a default value of "".

Alternative text for the source-image authoring surface.

focus

focus has a default value of { x: 0.5, y: 0.5 }.

Normalized current value. Its HTML attribute is named focus.

ratio

ratio has a default value of "3/1".

Aspect ratio for the wide live preview.

compact-ratio

compact-ratio has a default value of "3/2".

Aspect ratio for the compact live preview.

intent

intent has a default value of undefined.

The element's intent — its meaning: neutral (no pin), or success, warning, danger, info — each pinned to its fixed status family (blue for info), retunable per theme via intents. On token-emitting controls a non-neutral intent pins the filled-action pair to that family, derived over the governing zone's theme; class-styled chrome (badges, callouts, status pills) opts out of inline emission and renders its treatment from CSS classes instead. An intent never repaints the surrounding zone, which is what contexts are for. Removing the attribute restores the element's own default intent.

context

context has a default value of undefined.

A theme-defined color zone. The selected context rebinds designer-facing roles and emits a complete, contrast-enforced semantic token table on this host for descendants to inherit.
