Hold to Confirm Tailwind Close Button

Destructive-action friction: a conic progress ring fills while you press and hold, completing after 900ms; release early and it drains back. The fill is a typed @property percentage transitioned via data-holding:[--tcb24-p:100%]. The port fixes a silent bug in the original — the property was registered inherits:false, so the ring pseudo-element never saw the value — and announces completion to screen readers.

What changed in the port

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

  • .is-holding / .is-done became data-holding: / data-done: variants, including the custom-property value itself (data-holding:[--tcb24-p:100%]).
  • Bug fix: the CSS original registered --ccb-24-p with inherits:false, so its ::before ring always read 0% and never filled. The port registers it inherits:true.
  • UI upgrade from the CSS original: the hint is a role="status" live region wired with aria-describedby ("Keep holding…", "Closed"), pointercancel and touch-none stop scroll gestures from stranding a half-filled ring, and the hint rose from oklch(0.65) to 0.77 for 7:1.

How this works

Two speeds, one property. At rest the fill transitions back over 300ms ease-out; while holding, data-holding: swaps in a 900ms linear fill:

[--tcb24-p:0%] transition-[--tcb24-p,scale] duration-300 ease-out
data-holding:[--tcb24-p:100%] data-holding:duration-900 data-holding:ease-linear

Why inherits must be true. The ring is a ::before; pseudo-elements only see a registered custom property from their host if it inherits. With inherits:false the ring reads the initial 0% forever.

Completion is timer-driven, not transitionend, so it cannot be missed.

Make it yours

  • Hold length: change HOLD in the script and data-holding:duration-900.
  • Safer colour: swap the red tokens for amber on non-destructive confirms.
  • Haptics: navigator.vibrate?.(10) already fires on supported phones.

Gotchas — read before shipping

  • Keyboard users need a hold path too — the script starts on Enter/Space keydown and cancels on keyup.
  • Tell people it's a hold: an unexplained long-press is undiscoverable; keep the visible hint.

Transitioning a registered custom property needs @property (Firefox 128+, exactly Tailwind v4's floor).
