Tailwind Toolbox Latch Spotlight Button

A steel toolbox latch under a work lamp: a spotlight tracks your pointer across the brushed plate, and clicking throws the latch — the hasp swings up over the keeper and the button reports its state through aria-pressed, not just its look.

What changed in the port

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

  • Utilities: the plate, the pressed shadow via aria-pressed:, the hasp's hinge and swing via group-aria-pressed:, the rivets' positions, every state. CSS: the brushed grain, the spotlight gradient with its blend mode, and the small hardware gradients (keeper, hasp, pin, rivet) plus their two slot pseudo-elements.
  • aria-pressed: and group-aria-pressed: are the best thing in this port. The CSS original already keyed off [aria-pressed="true"] — the variant form makes that choice visible on both the plate and the hasp, so "accessible state is the source of truth" stops being a convention and becomes something you can read in the markup.
  • The pointer defaults are in the stylesheet rather than inline for a reason worth repeating from demo 15: they are the no-JS, no-pointer behaviour, and an inline style would suggest JS owns them.
  • A11y fix from the CSS original: none needed on contrast — but the port adds motion-reduce:transition-none on the hasp, which the original omitted (it only reset the button's own transition), so a 58° swing no longer plays for users who asked for less motion.

## JavaScript
```js
(() => {
  const btn = document.querySelector('.tb-48__plate');
  if (!btn) return;
  let box = null;
  btn.addEventListener('pointerenter', () => { box = btn.getBoundingClientRect(); });
  btn.addEventListener('pointermove', (e) => {
    box = box || btn.getBoundingClientRect();
    btn.style.setProperty('--mx', (((e.clientX - box.left) / box.width) * 100).toFixed(1) + '%');
    btn.style.setProperty('--my', (((e.clientY - box.top) / box.height) * 100).toFixed(1) + '%');
  });
  btn.addEventListener('pointerleave', () => {
    box = null;
    btn.style.setProperty('--mx', '50%');
    btn.style.setProperty('--my', '0%');
  });
  // The ONLY state the controller owns is the attribute. CSS reads it from there.
  btn.addEventListener('click', () => {
    const on = btn.getAttribute('aria-pressed') === 'true';
    btn.setAttribute('aria-pressed', String(!on));
  });
})();
```

How this works

The state lives on the attribute, and CSS reads it there. The controller flips aria-pressed and nothing else:

btn.addEventListener('click', () => {
  const on = btn.getAttribute('aria-pressed') === 'true';
  btn.setAttribute('aria-pressed', String(!on));
});

Then group-aria-pressed:-rotate-[58deg] on the hasp and aria-pressed:shadow-[…] on the plate do the rest. If the attribute is ever wrong the button looks wrong, which is the best kind of bug.

The spotlight degrades by default. --mx: 50%; --my: 0% is declared in the stylesheet, so with no pointer the plate keeps a static top-light. That default is not decoration — it is what makes the control usable on touch.

Make it yours

  • Spotlight size and warmth live in the one gradient; smaller and brighter reads as a task lamp.
  • Change the hasp's throw angle to match your keeper geometry.
  • Steel → painted metal: replace the grain layers with a flat colour and a chipped-edge mask.
  • The rivets are two radial gradients — move or add them freely.
  • A click sound via a tiny Audio instance suits this one, if your product allows audio.

Gotchas — read before shipping

  • Always mirror toggle state to aria-pressed on a <button>. A class alone is invisible to assistive tech.
  • Don't use aria-pressed and a changing label — pick one, or the announcement contradicts itself.
  • Pointer-driven lighting must degrade. The static default is declared, not assumed.
  • Reading getBoundingClientRect() per move is fine for one element; cache it for many.
  • Rotating metal parts need a visible hinge. Without the rivet the motion looks like a bug.
