PropTypeDefaultDescription
propsnone—The demo component declares no props. It renders AnimatedThemeToggler with the literal prop variant="square".
Accessibility
- The demo adds no custom accessible name, ARIA attributes, or keyboard behavior; those responsibilities belong to the underlying AnimatedThemeToggler component.
- The toggle should remain keyboard reachable and expose its current theme action through the underlying component's accessible button implementation.
- If the control is presented without surrounding context, provide an accessible name through the underlying component or an adjacent visible label; this demo does not add one.
