Tailwind Toggle Button Group with View Transitions Morphing Highlight

A density switcher whose highlight morphs from one button to the next with the View Transitions API — the browser snapshots the old and new highlight (both named [view-transition-name:tbg03-thumb]) and tweens between them, no position math. State is pure ARIA: aria-checked:text-white and group-aria-checked:opacity-100 read the attribute a 25-line controller sets, with full arrow-key support.

What changed in the port

Which parts became utilities, which stayed CSS, and why.

  • [aria-checked=true] selectors became the built-in aria-checked: and group-aria-checked: variants.
  • Bug fix: the CSS original declared a view transition but shipped no script to trigger it, so the buttons never changed state. The port adds the controller: click, arrow keys, roving tabindex.
  • UI upgrade: each option gained an icon that hints at its density, and the group wraps instead of overflowing on narrow screens.
  • UI upgrade: muted copy rose to oklch(0.47) (6:1 on white), and reduced-motion users get an instant switch.

## JavaScript

  document.querySelectorAll('[data-tbg03-group]').forEach((group) => {
    if (group.dataset.wired) return;
    group.dataset.wired = '1';
    const items = [...group.querySelectorAll('[role="radio"]')];
    const select = (target, focus) => {
      const apply = () => items.forEach((b) => {
        const on = b === target;
        b.setAttribute('aria-checked', String(on));
        b.tabIndex = on ? 0 : -1;
      });
      if (document.startViewTransition && !reduce.matches) document.startViewTransition(apply);
      else apply();
      if (focus) target.focus();
    };
    items.forEach((b, i) => {
      b.addEventListener('click', () => select(b));
      b.addEventListener('keydown', (e) => {
        const step = { ArrowRight: 1, ArrowDown: 1, ArrowLeft: -1, ArrowUp: -1 }[e.key];
        if (!step) return;
        e.preventDefault();
        select(items[(i + step + items.length) % items.length], true);
      });
    });
  });
})();
```

How this works

One name, two elements, one morph. Every button has a highlight span, but only the checked one gets the transition name:

<span class="opacity-0 group-aria-checked:opacity-100
  group-aria-checked:[view-transition-name:tbg03-thumb]">

When the script flips aria-checked inside startViewTransition(), the browser sees tbg03-thumb move from one box to another and animates the size and position itself.

What stays CSS. ::view-transition-group(tbg03-thumb) is a pseudo-element on the document root with no Tailwind variant, so its timing curve lives in the stylesheet.

Make it yours

  • Springier morph: raise the second control point in the cubic-bezier inside the stylesheet.
  • Change options: add buttons with the same class list; the controller reads them all.
  • Re-theme via --color-tbg03-acc; text, highlight and focus ring follow.

Gotchas — read before shipping

  • A view-transition-name must be unique on the page at any moment — only ever apply it to the checked item.
  • Same-document view transitions are not in older Firefox; the controller falls back to an instant switch.
  • Users with reduced motion skip the transition entirely (checked in script and CSS).

Same-document View Transitions are Baseline 2025. Elsewhere the group still works — it just switches without morphing.
