1799466 - (moz-toggle) [meta] moz-toggle Reusable Component

Status: NEW

(Toolkit :: UI Widgets, task)

Description

[Hanna Jones [:hjones]]

As part of the first round of reusable components work we are creating a new fx-toggle element to replace our different toggle implementations. This bug is for tracking the work on that component as well as the work involved in using it throughout the Firefox codebase.

How have we arrived at using the fx- name prefix here? That's not how we've been naming widgets that are intended to potentially be used by products other than Firefox.

That's a good point, we've definitely been too narrowly focused on the Firefox use case. The consensus with dev/design was that people found having some kind of prefix helpful for easily identifying which components were part of the design system. It's still early days though so it'll be easy to go back to the drawing board and switch to using something more generic like mz or moz (though Mark pointed out that might be too similar to our -moz prefixed CSS rules).
