HTML
<div class="xsh-segmented" data-xsh-segmented role="group" aria-label="View density">
<button data-xsh-segment="comfortable" aria-pressed="true">Comfortable</button>
<button data-xsh-segment="compact" aria-pressed="false">Compact</button>
<button data-xsh-segment="spacious" aria-pressed="false">Spacious</button>
</div>

Installation & markup

Include the local stylesheet and script once on the page, then place the component inside a data-xsh-ui root. The example above works without a build system.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="/dist/xshna-ui.css">
<div data-xsh-ui>
  <!-- Add the HTML example above -->
</div>
<script defer src="/dist/xshna-ui.js"></script>

Component API

Public classes, attributes and hooks used by this example. Keep the xsh- prefix intact.

Accessibility & keyboard

Each segment is a native toggle button with aria-pressed state. Tab moves between buttons; Enter/Space activates a choice.

Implementation note. Use radio inputs instead when this is a required submitted form value.

Interaction contract

Behavioral components use the shared delegated runtime; visual-only primitives rely on semantic HTML and CSS. Runtime controls emit bubbling xsh:* CustomEvents; bind application handlers to those events when server persistence, API data or navigation is required.
