  • Display stock, cryptocurrency, ETF, or other financial asset summaries.

  • Use as a composable building block when the symbol, price, icon, and change need independent styling.

API reference

PropTypeDefaultDescription
TickerHTMLAttributes<HTMLButtonElement> & { currency?: string; locale?: string } & { children: ReactNode }currency: "USD"; locale: "en-US"Renders a type="button" button and provides an Intl.NumberFormat formatter to descendant components. Accepts standard button HTML attributes, className, and required children. Invalid locale or currency values fall back to the default USD/en-US formatter.
TickerIconHTMLAttributes<HTMLImageElement> & { src?: string; symbol?: string; asChild?: boolean }noneRenders an Avatar with size-7 styling, an AvatarImage using src, and a fallback containing the first two uppercase characters of symbol. When asChild is true, renders a div container with children instead; src, symbol, and remaining image props are not used in that branch.
TickerSymbolHTMLAttributes<HTMLSpanElement> & { symbol: string }noneRenders the required symbol uppercased inside a span. Accepts standard span HTML attributes and className.
TickerPriceHTMLAttributes<HTMLSpanElement> & { price: number }noneFormats the required numeric price using the nearest Ticker formatter and renders it in a span. Accepts standard span HTML attributes and className.
TickerPriceChangeHTMLAttributes<HTMLSpanElement> & { change: number; isPercent?: boolean }isPercent: falseRenders a required numeric change with a green upward or red downward triangle. With isPercent true, formats the value with change.toFixed(2) plus "%"; otherwise formats it using the nearest Ticker currency formatter. Accepts standard span HTML attributes and className.
useTickerContext() => { formatter: Intl.NumberFormat }noneHook exported by the module for reading the active formatter. Outside a Ticker provider it uses the default en-US USD formatter.

Accessibility

  • Ticker renders a native button with type="button", so it supports keyboard activation and should receive an accessible name through visible content or an aria-label.
  • Pass an accessible label to the Ticker when its visible symbol and values do not sufficiently describe the action, for example aria-label="Apple stock quote".
  • TickerPriceChange includes an SVG with role="img", a title, and an upward or rotated downward triangle. The source uses the fixed title ID ticker-change-icon-title; multiple instances may produce duplicate IDs, so verify accessible-name behavior when rendering several tickers.
  • TickerIcon's fallback exposes the first two characters of symbol visually. When using asChild, provide an accessible child or mark decorative content aria-hidden as appropriate.
  • The component does not add an explicit live-region behavior; do not use it as an automatic screen-reader announcement mechanism for changing market data.
