Caret Icons

Use carets to indicate some meaning of functionality or direction.

If used inside of an element marked as .open the caret will reverse direction accordingly to indicate state.

<span class="caret" aria-hidden="true"></span>
<span class="caretup" aria-hidden="true"></span>
<span class="caretstart" aria-hidden="true"></span>
<span class="caretend" aria-hidden="true"></span>

Mixins

Create custom uses of the caret with the Sass mixins.

Four directions are available, with the following names: down, up, start, and end.

The start/end directions are designated as follows depending on which version of the Figuration CSS you are using. The default figuration.*.css uses the ltr mode, where figuration-rtl.*.css uses the rtl mode.

• For left-to-right mode (ltr - default);
  • start caret points to the left side
  • end caret points to the right side
• For right-to-left mode (rtl);
  • start caret points to the right side
  • end caret points to the left side

// Create the base caret
@include caret($direction, $border-width, $border-color);

// Modify the caret direction
@include caret-down($border-width, $border-color);
@include caret-up($border-width, $border-color);
@include caret-start($border-width, $border-color);
@include caret-end($border-width, $border-color);

Example

.btn {
  .example-caret {
    @include caret(start, .5rem, #000);
  }

  @include hover-focus() {
    .example-caret {
      @include caret-end(.5rem, #000);
    }
  }
}

Hover over, or focus on the following button to change caret direction:<br>
<button type="button" class="btn">
  Caret example
  <span class="example-caret" aria-hidden="true"></span>
</button>

Close Icon

Use a generic close icon for dismissing content like alerts, modals, tooltips, and popovers. Be sure to include text for screen readers, as we've done with aria-label.

<button type="button" class="close" aria-label="Close">
  <span aria-hidden="true">&times;</span>
</button>

Drag Icon

Figuration also uses a drag icon with draggable popovers. Be sure to include text for screen readers, as we've done with aria-label.

<button type="button" class="drag" aria-label="Drag">
  <span aria-hidden="true">+</span>
</button>
