d3js | toggle yes no UI buttons

I needed some simple yes/no buttons that could be dropped into a prototype UI.

These toggle boolean yes and no buttons can be added into DOM as reusable UI elements. They can be passed custom click events.

Call the function and pass in container/selection as the argument:

var myButtons = noYesBtns('#some-id');

Optional overrides that can be chained via the api (showing defaults):

nTxt('no') // string for NO button
yTxt('yes') // string for YES button
nBg('grey') // string for unselected background for NO
yBg('grey') // string for unselected bg for YES
nBgActive('green'), // string for selected bg for NO
yBgActive('green'); // string for selected bg for YES

Note: examples in index.html

(function(global) {
'use strict';
// convenience variables
var defaultCol = '#eee',
activeCol = '#7AC143';
var noYesBtns = function(_selection) {
global.noYesBtns = noYesBtns;
var instance = {};
var dispatch = d3.dispatch('_click');
// some default values
var nTxt = 'no', // text for NO button
yTxt = 'yes', // text for YES button
nBg = defaultCol, // unselected background for NO
yBg = defaultCol, // unselected bg for YES
nBgActive = activeCol, // selected bg for NO
yBgActive = activeCol; // selected bg for YES
instance.render = function() {
var container = d3.select(_selection);
var btn = function(txt, bg, bgActive) {
container.append('button')
.attr({
class: 'ny-btn ny-btn-unselected'
})
.style({
background: bg
})
.text(txt)
.on('click', function () {
d3.select(_selection).selectAll('.ny-btn')
.style('background', bg)
.classed('ny-btn-unselected', true)
.classed('ny-btn-selected', false);
d3.select(this)
.style('background', activeCol)
.classed('ny-btn-unselected', false)
.classed('ny-btn-selected', true);
dispatch._click.apply(this, arguments);
});
};
var n = btn(nTxt, nBg, nBgActive);
var y = btn(yTxt, yBg, yBgActive);
return instance;
};
instance.nBg = function(value) {
if (!arguments.length) return nBg;
nBg = value;
return this;
};
instance.yBg = function(value) {
if (!arguments.length) return yBg;
yBg = value;
return this;
};
instance.nBgActive = function(value) {
if (!arguments.length) return nBgActive;
nBgActive = value;
return this;
};
instance.yBgActive = function(value) {
if (!arguments.length) return yBgActive;
yBgActive = value;
return this;
};
instance.nTxt = function(value) {
if (!arguments.length) return nTxt;
nTxt = value;
return this;
};
instance.yTxt = function(value) {
if (!arguments.length) return yTxt;
yTxt = value;
return this;
};
d3.rebind(instance, dispatch, 'on');
return instance;
};
// allow access out ot IIFE
global.noYesBtns = noYesBtns;
}(window));
