Hold Button

HoldButton is a client-side button with a colored progress fill that advances while the user holds it. It resets when released; the component does not perform an action or expose a completion callback.

Installation

pnpm dlx shadcn@latest add @kokonutui/hold-button

Requires @kokonutui in the registries of your components.json (shadcn adds official directory namespaces automatically).

Usage

usage.tsx
import HoldButton from "@/components/kokonutui/hold-button";export function Examples() {  return (    <div className="flex flex-wrap gap-2">      <HoldButton variant="red" aria-label="Hold to confirm deletion" />      <HoldButton variant="green" holdDuration={1500} aria-label="Hold to archive" />      <HoldButton variant="blue" holdDuration={2000} aria-label="Hold to cancel" />    </div>  );}
  • For an action where requiring a sustained press can help prevent accidental activation, such as confirming a destructive action.
  • When you want a visible hold-duration cue before handling an action elsewhere.
  • When a colored, icon-led button makes the action type easy to distinguish.

Examples

Destructive confirmation

Use a red hold button as a visual confirmation step before deleting an item.

destructive-confirmation.tsx
import HoldButton from "@/components/kokonutui/hold-button";export function DeleteConfirmation() {  return <HoldButton variant="red" aria-label="Hold to confirm deletion" />;}

Archive action

Use the green variant with a shorter hold duration for an archive flow.

archive-action.tsx
import HoldButton from "@/components/kokonutui/hold-button";export function ArchiveAction() {  return <HoldButton variant="green" holdDuration={1500} aria-label="Hold to archive" />;}

Cancel action

Use a blue variant for a hold-confirmed cancellation control.

cancel-action.tsx
import HoldButton from "@/components/kokonutui/hold-button";export function CancelAction() {  return <HoldButton variant="blue" holdDuration={2000} aria-label="Hold to cancel" />;}

API reference

PropTypeDefaultDescription
variant"red" | "green" | "blue" | "orange" | "grey" | null"red"Sets the button’s color theme and matching icon.
holdDurationnumber3000Duration of the fill animation in milliseconds.
classNamestring—Additional CSS classes merged with the variant styles.
ButtonHTMLAttributes<HTMLButtonElement>React.ButtonHTMLAttributes<HTMLButtonElement>—Accepts standard button attributes, including native button props and event handlers; these are forwarded to the underlying Button.

Accessibility

  • The underlying control is a native button and accepts standard button attributes, including aria-label and disabled.
  • The visible label changes from “Hold me” to “Release” during a hold, but the component does not expose progress through an ARIA progress role or value.
  • The hold interaction is wired to mouse and touch events only; no keyboard hold handling is implemented. Provide an accessible alternative or additional keyboard behavior where sustained input is required.
  • The component does not invoke a callback when the hold duration completes. Handle the intended action separately.
