Plus/X

Animated plus/x icon

Plus/X is a 1 s micro animation that toggles between two states on click; use it for hamburger menu and close buttons. Its static SVGs cover the plus and x states, so the resting icon still shows which one is active.

Questions about the Plus/X icon

›Can my app decide whether Plus/X shows plus or x?

Make it controlled: pass active and flip it in onClick, e.g. active={on} onClick={() => setOn(!on)}. true plays to the last frame and false back to the first; an icon that mounts with active already true starts there without animating, and with reduced motion it jumps instead of playing.

›How do I make Plus/X an accessible button?

Put its events on a real button with the render prop: render={(events, icon) => <button aria-label="Plus/X" aria-pressed={on} {...events}><span {...icon} /></button>}. The animation itself stays aria-hidden, and aria-pressed tells screen readers which state is on.
