Shockwave action button

A compact native button whose activation point becomes the origin of a disposable expanding wave. Keyboard activation emits from the center, every effect stays clipped to the component, and a polite status confirms the action independently of motion.

Implementation field notes

Use shockwave action button confidently.

The preview and source are only the starting point. Use these notes to decide where the component fits, preserve its accessibility contract, and verify the adapted result.

Good fit for

  • Command confirmation
  • Media controls
  • Realtime actions

This action feedback pattern works best when its purpose is clear in the surrounding page hierarchy.

Accessibility contract

  • Uses a native button and supports keyboard activation from its center.
  • A polite status confirms the action without relying on the wave.
  • Reduced-motion mode replaces expansion with a short static halo.

Integration plan

  1. Copy the standalone HTML and scoped CSS into an isolated page.
  2. Adapt signal color, signal glow, surface color, label color through the Inspector.
  3. Connect the defensive JavaScript, then test every control with a keyboard.
  4. Review the result at 375, 768, 1024, and 1440 pixels before shipping.
