Usage

Usage as ESM

As composable (both Vue3 and Vue2)

<script setup>
  import { ref } from 'vue';
  import { useKeyboardTrapFactory } from '@pdanpdan/vue-keyboard-trap';

  // you can do this in another file and import the configured `useKeyboardTrap`
  const useKeyboardTrap = useKeyboardTrapFactory({
    // ...options if required
  });

  const elRef = ref(null);
  useKeyboardTrap(
    // element (reactive)
    elRef,
    // modifiers (optional, reactive, default all modifiers are false)
    {
      roving: true,
    },
    // active (optional, reactive, default true)
    true
  );
</script>

<template>
  <div ref="elRef">
    ...
  </div>
</template>

As plugin on Vue3 - directive

import { createApp } from 'vue';
import { VueKeyboardTrapDirectivePlugin } from '@pdanpdan/vue-keyboard-trap';
import App from './App.vue';

const app = createApp(App);

app.use(VueKeyboardTrapDirectivePlugin, {
  // ...options if required
});

app.mount('#app');

As plugin on Vue2 - directive

import Vue from 'vue';
import { VueKeyboardTrapDirectivePlugin } from '@pdanpdan/vue-keyboard-trap';
import App from './App.vue';

Vue.use(VueKeyboardTrapDirectivePlugin, {
  // ...options if required
});

new Vue({
  el: '#app',
});

Included in specific components (Vue3 script setup) - directive

<script setup>
  import { VueKeyboardTrapDirectiveFactory } from '@pdanpdan/vue-keyboard-trap';

  const vKbdTrap = VueKeyboardTrapDirectiveFactory({
    // ...options if required
  }).directive;
</script>

Included in specific components (Vue3 script) - directive

<script>
  import { defineComponent } from 'vue';
  import { VueKeyboardTrapDirectiveFactory } from '@pdanpdan/vue-keyboard-trap';

  const KbdTrap = VueKeyboardTrapDirectiveFactory({
    // ...options if required
  }).directive;

  export default defineComponent({
    directives: {
      KbdTrap,
    },
  });
</script>

Included in specific components (Vue2) - directive

<script>
  import { VueKeyboardTrapDirectiveFactory } from '@pdanpdan/vue-keyboard-trap';

  const KbdTrap = VueKeyboardTrapDirectiveFactory({
    // ...options if required
  }).directive;

  export default {
    directives: {
      KbdTrap,
    },
  };
</script>

User hint styles (cosmetic)

The directive does not require any CSS styles to work, but for cosmetic purposes (as user hints) some example styles are provided in dist/styles/index.sass.

in Javascript

import '@pdanpdan/vue-keyboard-trap/styles';

or in SASS

@import '@pdanpdan/vue-keyboard-trap/styles'

or (if the /styles export is not used by your bundler)

in Javascript

import '@pdanpdan/vue-keyboard-trap/dist/styles/index.sass';

or in SASS

@import '@pdanpdan/vue-keyboard-trap/dist/styles/index.sass'

Usage as UMD

Load the javascript from https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/pdanpdan/vue-keyboard-trap/dist/index.umd.js.

It will expose a global object VueKeyboardTrap with VueKeyboardTrapDirectivePlugin and VueKeyboardTrapDirectiveFactory keys.

In order to work it requires that VueDemi is already loaded on the page. You can do it like this:

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/vue@3/dist/vue.global.prod.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/vue-demi/lib/index.iife.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/pdanpdan/vue-keyboard-trap/dist/index.umd.js"></script>

As composable (both Vue3 and Vue2)

const { ref } = Vue;

const { useKeyboardTrapFactory } = VueKeyboardTrap;
const useKeyboardTrap = useKeyboardTrapFactory({
  // ...options if required
});

const elRef = ref(null);
useKeyboardTrap(
  // element (reactive)
  elRef,
  // modifiers (optional, reactive, default all modifiers are false)
  {
    roving: true,
  },
  // active (optional, reactive, default true)
  true
);

As plugin on Vue3 - directive

const { createApp } = Vue;
const { VueKeyboardTrapDirectivePlugin } = VueKeyboardTrap;

const app = createApp({});

app.use(VueKeyboardTrapDirectivePlugin, {
  // ...options if required
});

app.mount('#app');

As plugin on Vue2 - directive

const { VueKeyboardTrapDirectivePlugin } = VueKeyboardTrap;

Vue.use(VueKeyboardTrapDirectivePlugin, {
  // ...options if required
});

new Vue({
  el: '#app',
});

As directive on Vue3 - directive

const { createApp } = Vue;
const { VueKeyboardTrapDirectiveFactory } = VueKeyboardTrap;

const app = createApp({});

const { name, directive } = VueKeyboardTrapDirectiveFactory({
  // ...options if required
});

app.directive(name, directive);

app.mount('#app');

As directive on Vue2 - directive

const { VueKeyboardTrapDirectiveFactory } = VueKeyboardTrap;

const { name, directive } = VueKeyboardTrapDirectiveFactory({
  // ...options if required
});

Vue.directive(name, directive);

User hint styles (cosmetic)

If you want you can access the CSS cosmetic style (user hints) from https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/pdanpdan/vue-keyboard-trap/dist/styles/index.css.

Directive configuration options

Option	Description	Default
`name`	snake-case name of the directive (without `v-` prefix)	`kbd-trap`
`datasetName`	camelCase name of the `data-attribute` to be set on element when trap is enabled	`v${PascalCase from name}`
`focusableSelector`	CSS selector for focusable elements	see here
`rovingSkipSelector`	CSS selector for elements that should not respond to roving key navigation (input, textarea, ...)	see here
`gridSkipSelector`	CSS selector that will be applied in .roving.grid mode to exclude elements - must be a series of `:not()` selectors	see here
`autofocusSelector`	CSS selector for the elements that should be autofocused	see here
`trapTabIndex`	tabIndex value to be used when trap element has a tabIndex of -1 and has no `tabindex` attribute	-9999

Default `focusableSelector`:

:focus,
a[href]:not([tabindex^="-"]),
area[href]:not([tabindex^="-"]),
video[controls]:not([tabindex^="-"]),
audio[controls]:not([tabindex^="-"]),
iframe:not([tabindex^="-"]),
[tabindex]:not(slot):not([tabindex^="-"]),
[contenteditable]:not([contenteditable="false"]):not([tabindex^="-"]),
details > summary:first-of-type:not([tabindex^="-"]),
input:not([type="hidden"]):not(fieldset[disabled] input):not([disabled]):not([tabindex^="-"]),
select:not(fieldset[disabled] input):not([disabled]):not([tabindex^="-"]),
textarea:not(fieldset[disabled] input):not([disabled]):not([tabindex^="-"]),
button:not(fieldset[disabled] input):not([disabled]):not([tabindex^="-"]),
fieldset[disabled]:not(fieldset[disabled] fieldset) > legend input:not([type="hidden"]):not([disabled]):not([tabindex^="-"]),
fieldset[disabled]:not(fieldset[disabled] fieldset) > legend select:not([disabled]):not([tabindex^="-"]),
fieldset[disabled]:not(fieldset[disabled] fieldset) > legend textarea:not([disabled]):not([tabindex^="-"]),
fieldset[disabled]:not(fieldset[disabled] fieldset) > legend button:not([disabled]):not([tabindex^="-"]),
[class*="focusable"]:not([disabled]):not([tabindex^="-"])

By default a tags without href are not focusable - add a tabindex="0" attribute on them to make them focusable. This can be done for all other elements if you want them to be focusable.

Default `rovingSkipSelector`:

input:not([disabled]):not([type="button"]):not([type="checkbox"]):not([type="file"]):not([type="image"]):not([type="radio"]):not([type="reset"]):not([type="submit"]),
select:not([disabled]),
select:not([disabled]) *,
textarea:not([disabled]),
[contenteditable]:not([contenteditable="false"]),
[contenteditable]:not([contenteditable="false"]) *

Default `gridSkipSelector`:

:not([disabled]),
:not([tabindex^="-"])

Default `autofocusSelector`:

[autofocus]:not([disabled]):not([autofocus="false"]),
[data-autofocus]:not([disabled]):not([data-autofocus="false"])

Dynamic enable/disable

Use the value of the directive (boolean) to enable/disable it.

<div v-kbd-trap="directiveEnabled">

The modifiers are reactive so if you use render functions you can dynamically change the behaviour.

Directive modifiers

Modifier	Description
`.autofocus`	autofocuses the first element that matches autofocusSelector or (if no such element is found) the first focusable child element when the directive is mounted or enabled (only if it not covered by another element)
`.roving` or `.roving.vertical.horizontal`	allow roving navigation (`Home`, `End`, `ArrowKeys`)
`.roving.vertical`	allow roving navigation (`Home`, `End`, `ArrowUp`, `ArrowDown`)
`.roving.horizontal`	allow roving navigation (`Home`, `End`, `ArrowLeft`, `ArrowRight`)
`.roving.grid`	allow roving navigation (`Home`, `End`, `ArrowKeys`) using dataset attrs on elements `[data-${camelCase from datasetName}-(row/col)]`; `[data-${camelCase from datasetName}-(row/col)~="*"]` is a catchall
`.roving` used on an element with `[role="grid"]`	allow roving navigation (`Home`, `End`, `ArrowKeys`) using role attrs on elements `[role="row/gridcell"]`
`.roving.tabinside`	`Tab` key navigates to next/prev element inside trap (by default `Tab` key navigates to next/prev element outside trap in roving mode)
`.escrefocus`	refocus element that was in focus before activating the trap on `Esc`
`.escexits`	refocus a parent trap on `Esc` (has priority over `.escrefocus`)
`.indexorder` used without `.grid` modifier and on elements without `[role="grid"]`	force usage of order in `tabindex` (`tabindex` in ascending order and then DOM order)

Keyboard navigation

TAB / SHIFT+TAB key
- moves to next / previous focusable element inside the trap group (moves from last one to first one or from first one to last one when no more focusable elements are available in the group)
- if .roving modifier is used moves to next / previous trap group or focusable element outside the current trap group
- if .roving.tabinside modifiers are used then move inside the trap group
- if .indexorder modifier is used without .grid and on elements without [role="grid"] - the order of tabindex will be used
ESC key
- disables / enables the current tab group
- if .escexits modifier is used then refocus the last active focusable element in a parent trap group
- if .escrefocus modifier is used then refocus the last focusable element that was active before the current trap group got focus
- if .escexits or .escrefocus are used then press SHIFT + ESC to disable / enable the current tab group
HOME / END when .roving modifier is used
- move to first / last focusable element in the current trap group
ARROW_KEYS when .roving modifier is used (.roving.horizontal.vertical is the same as .roving)
- if only .horizontal modifier is used then only ARROW_LEFT / ARROW_RIGHT keys can be used
- if only .vertical modifier is used then only ARROW_UP / ARROW_DOWN keys can be used
- ARROW_LEFT / ARROW_UP move to the previous focusable element inside the trap group
- ARROW_RIGHT / ARROW_DOWN move to the next focusable element inside the trap group
- if .indexorder modifier is used without .grid and on elements without [role="grid"] - the order of tabindex will be used
ARROW_KEYS when .roving.grid modifiers are used or .roving modifier on a trap element with [role="grid"]
- move in the grid inside the current trap group

Keyboard navigation inside `.roving.grid` trap groups

In order to specify the navigation pattern you must use 2 dataset attributes on the focusable elements inside the .roving trap group:

data-v-kbd-trap-row specifies the numeric identifier of the row the element belongs to (numbers need not be consecutive, but their natural order determines the navigation order)
data-v-kbd-trap-col specifies the numeric identifier of the column the element belongs to (numbers need not be consecutive, but their natural order determines the navigation order)

Any or both attributes can have a value of * that means that it is an alement that can be focused from elements having any coresponding (row or col) attribute.

Navigation rules

the first focusable element on the row / col (based on direction of movement) is focused
an element with * for row or col is considered to belong to any row / col

Keyboard navigation inside `.roving` trap groups with `[role="grid"]`

In order to specify the navigation pattern you must use role attributes [role="row"] and [role="gridcell"].

All focusable element must have [role="gridcell"] and must be inside [role="row"] elements inside [role="grid"] trap element.

The gridcells will be considered inline-start aligned in every row.

Navigation rules

the first focusable element on the row / col (based on direction of movement) is focused

RTL / LTR

The directive checks the closest parent DOM Element of the active element that has a [dir="rtl"] or [dir="ltr]` attribute.

If the direction is RTL the ARROW_LEFT and ARROW_RIGHT keys move in reverse (according to document order of the focusable elements) but consistent to the way the elements are ordered on screen.

CSS (visual hints for users)

The directive does not require any styles, but it might help the users to have visual hints for navigation.

A default style is provided as SASS in dist/styles/index.sass (can be imported as import '@pdapdan/vue-keyboard-trap/styles', as import '@pdapdan/vue-keyboard-trap/dist/styles/index.sass' (if the bundler does not use the /styles export) or included from https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/pdanpdan/vue-keyboard-trap/dist/styles/index.sass).

The default style is also provided as CSS in dist/styles/index.css (can be imported as import '@pdapdan/vue-keyboard-trap/dist/styles/index.css' or included from https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/pdanpdan/vue-keyboard-trap/dist/styles/index.css).

There are some CSS variables that can be used to customize the aspect of the hints:

Variable	Role	Default
`--color-v-kbd-trap-enabled`	the text color when directive is enabled	`#c33` ■
`--color-v-kbd-trap-disabled`	the text color when directive is disabled	`#999` ■
`--color-v-kbd-trap-background`	the background color of the hint area	`#eeee` ■
`--text-v-kbd-trap-separator`	separator between elements	`/`
`--text-v-kbd-trap-enabled`	indicator for enabled but not active trap	`Trap`
`--text-v-kbd-trap-esc`	indicator for `Esc` key active	`Esc`
`--text-v-kbd-trap-esc-refocus`	indicator for `Esc` key active when it refocuses	`Esc\2949` / `Esc⥉`
`--text-v-kbd-trap-esc-exits`	indicator for `Esc` key active when it exits trap	`Esc\2923` / `Esc⤣`
`--text-v-kbd-trap-tab`	indicator for `Tab` key active inside trap	`Tab`
`--text-v-kbd-trap-tab-exits`	indicator for `Tab` key active when it exits trap	`Tab\21C5` / `Tab⇅`
`--text-v-kbd-trap-grid`	indicator for grid mode active	`\229E` / `⊞`
`--text-v-kbd-trap-arrows-all`	indicator for move keys active in roving mode	`\2962\2963\2965\2964` / `⥢⥣⥥⥤`
`--text-v-kbd-trap-arrows-horizontal`	indicator for move keys active in roving mode horizontal	`\2962\2964` / `⥢⥤`
`--text-v-kbd-trap-arrows-vertical`	indicator for move keys active in roving mode vertical	`\2963\2965` / `⥣⥥`

In the default style the hint is positioned on the top-right corner of the trap group.
