Components: Refactor DropdownMenu to stop using unstable props #15968

gziolo · 2019-06-03T15:10:32Z

Description

There were 4 unstable props introduced temporarily in #14843:

gutenberg/packages/components/src/dropdown-menu/index.js

Lines 27 to 30 in c2768ec

    
           __unstableLabelPosition, 
        
           __unstableMenuClassName, 
        
           __unstablePopoverClassName, 
        
           __unstableToggleClassName,

They were added for backward compatibility. This PR further explores how to approach it differently.

Proposed changes:

__unstableLabelPosition gets replaced with position property in popoverProps prop.
__unstablePopoverClassName got implemented as className property in popoverProps props as it seems to be essential for styling of the popover.
__unstableToggleClassName and __unstableMenuClassName got remove as they can be expressed as a combination of className property of popoverProps prop and default classes the same UI elements provide. This might be considered as a breaking change but I don't expect it would influence plugins and sites given how specific edge case it is.

This PR introduces new props for DropdownMenu as suggested by @jorgefilipecosta and @youknowriad:

Added a new popoverProps prop to the DropdownMenu component which allows passing props directly to the nested Popover component.
Added a new toggleProps prop to the DropdownMenu component which allows passing props directly to the nested IconButton component.
Added a new menuProps prop to the DropdownMenu component which allows passing props directly to the nested NavigableMenu component.

There are also 2 deprecations introduced:

menuLabel prop in DropdownComponent has been deprecated. Consider using menuProps object and its aria-label property instead.

position prop in DropdownComponent has been deprecated. Consider using popoverProps object and its position property instead.

How has this been tested?

There should be no visual changes in the block's More Options menu and in the More Menu.

-						labelPosition={ __unstableLabelPosition }
+						labelPosition={ position }


I'm not sure about this change? Can you clarify? It seems that the position prop is meant to be used for something else?

If I'd make it a stable api, I'd probably name it tooltipPosition

Yep, but in general, it aligns where you see the popover with where you would expect to see the tooltip :)

I can add tooltipPosition as well but maybe we should introduce toggleProps and contentPropos instead so you could have more control over them. The only issue I see here is that it's not easy to pass an object as a prop because it will cause re-renders every time DropdownMenu re-renders.

I don't think the props align, I can see valid use-cases for showing a dropdown under the toggle but the tooltip on top of it. I don't have strong opinions on whether it should be a toggleProps prop or just a position one.

@jorgefilipecosta added popoverProps prop described as an object for Dropdown components in #14867. There is a bit different handling for Popover component where all remaining props are passed down using rest operator:

https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/blob/master/packages/components/src/popover/index.js#L267

We probably should optimize APIs to go in one direction moving forward. In this particular case, it feels like using toggleProps would solve the issue we have and keep it more flexible for future use cases.

We probably should optimize APIs to go in one direction moving forward. In this particular case, it feels like using toggleProps would solve the issue we have and keep it more flexible for future use cases.

I think using a toggleProps object as referred seems like a good option.

I introduced 3 new props based on the prior work with Dropdown component as implemented in #14867:

popoverProps

toggleProps

menuProps

This allows us to deprecate two props which can be set using this pass-through objects and further simplify public API. For backward compatibility, they are still supported but they will warn on the JS console. I assumed they aren't used widely outside of Gutenberg.
