Meter.

A measurement with meaningful bounds.

Meter describes a measurement within a known range, rather than task completion. Name the measurement and retain numeric semantics; semantic color supplements the actual value.

API reference

Generated from Dixy’s local TypeScript interfaces. Native and Base UI Meter props are forwarded; this table covers the options Dixy adds.

MeterRoot

PropType / descriptionDefault
size"sm" | "md" | "lg"

Visual track thickness for a bounded measurement.

md
color"neutral" | "accent" | "danger" | "success"

Semantic emphasis; unselected controls remain neutral.

accent
radius"none" | "sm" | "md" | "lg" | "full"

Contextual rounding; panels cap full rounding to preserve content.

Theme.radius
material"matte" | "glossy" | "soft" | "metal" | "paper"

Optional static finish; import materials.css.

Styling tokens

Change Theme settings above to compare appearance, accent, neutral, radius, spacing density, motion and direction. Override component aliases on a Theme root so custom properties follow portaled content too. The wrapper merges className, style, refs and render composition with its owning primitive.

TokenPurpose
--dixy-primitive-gapThe component-specific starting point.
--dixy-font-label-mdControl label font and line height; body roles remain readable in text inputs.
--dixy-color-background-selectedSelected surfaces use semantic color across appearances.
--dixy-color-border-focusFocus indication remains visible independently of shadows.
--dixy-spacing-inset-smDensity-aware component padding.
--dixy-motion-transition-feedbackShort state feedback, reduced by the inherited motion setting.

Consider everyone

Accessibility

Meter represents a scalar measurement. Progress represents completion of a task; their semantics are not interchangeable. Provide meaningful names and verify the complete interaction with a keyboard. Color alone must not communicate state.

Target: WCAG 2.2 AA. Automated tests cover selected behavior; manual screen-reader, contrast, and zoom validation remain part of the release checklist.

THE THINKING BEHIND IT

Build it. Then understand it.

Meter represents a scalar measurement. Progress represents completion of a task; their semantics are not interchangeable. Component aliases reference Dixy semantic tokens; refs, events and render composition are forwarded unchanged. Visual settings follow Dixy shirt sizes, contextual radii and semantic tokens where applicable. Static finishes are optional, and reduced motion is immediate. Base UI keeps refs, state, events, keyboard and presence; this implementation pass does not establish WCAG conformance.
