BW: does it overlay nearby elements. – Yes, it will, like a dropdown menu
AS: how does this differ from the dropdown menu?
AB: may be difficult to implement the near edge behavior as designed (duplicates the option). JW make sure the arrow keys work to change focus/selection
BW: would positioning be configured or auto detected – auto detected via Popper.js
JW: Syncronize selection states etc. make sure all componnetns match
AR: Could we show the top half of the next item. – GW: I can adjust the height cap so that it would crop at a half item
BW: let’s make sure scrollbar is visible. can we avoid putting scrollbar on top of the items text? – GW: we’ll cap the width.
JW: how will we build this? a customized select? – AB: no, react component. Should consider a component built and one that does aria well
BW: I don’t think it would make sense to roll our own. lets use a library. – We all agree using a library to implement this is something we should/will do.
JW: I wonder if this thing is nicely comprehensive for a variety of scenarios if it should also have a bottom of the page option as a parameter. BW +1 – AB: let’s wait to add a bottom version until we need one
There is an… Jeff Witt (Deactivated) can you add you notes here about what would make a comprehensive solution - I missed it
BW: would this have rules around priorities of what to show? – AB: Maybe this is the job of an Application Frame that Orchestrates these things? – JW: thinks this would be ideal.
