Overview
An <sp-status-light> is a great way to convey semantic meaning, such as statuses and categories. It provides visual indicators through colored dots accompanied by descriptive text.
Usage
yarn add @spectrum-web-components/status-light
Import the side effectful registration of <sp-status-light> via:
import '@spectrum-web-components/status-light/sp-status-light.js';
When looking to leverage the StatusLight base class as a type and/or for extension purposes, do so via:
import { StatusLight } from '@spectrum-web-components/status-light';
Anatomy
A status light consists of a colored dot indicator and a required text label. The dot's color represents the status or category, while the text provides additional context.
<sp-status-light variant="positive">approved</sp-status-light>
Options
Sizes
<sp-status-light size="s" variant="positive">approved</sp-status-light>
<sp-status-light size="m" variant="positive">approved</sp-status-light>
<sp-status-light size="l" variant="positive">approved</sp-status-light>
<sp-status-light size="xl" variant="positive">approved</sp-status-light>
Variants
Status lights come in various semantic and non-semantic variants to convey different meanings. The variant attribute controls the main variant of the status light, with neutral being the default.
<sp-status-light variant="neutral">use for default state</sp-status-light> <sp-status-light variant="positive"> use for success or approval </sp-status-light> <sp-status-light variant="negative">use for error or rejection</sp-status-light> <sp-status-light variant="notice"> use for warning or attention needed </sp-status-light> <sp-status-light variant="info"> use for information or neutral state </sp-status-light>
<sp-status-light variant="yellow">yellow status</sp-status-light> <sp-status-light variant="fuchsia">fuchsia status</sp-status-light> <sp-status-light variant="indigo">indigo status</sp-status-light> <sp-status-light variant="seafoam">seafoam status</sp-status-light> <sp-status-light variant="chartreuse">chartreuse status</sp-status-light> <sp-status-light variant="magenta">magenta status</sp-status-light> <sp-status-light variant="celery">celery status</sp-status-light> <sp-status-light variant="purple">purple status</sp-status-light> <sp-status-light variant="cyan">cyan status</sp-status-light>
States
Disabled
A status light in a disabled state shows that a status exists, but is not available in that circumstance. This can be used to maintain layout continuity and communicate that a status may become available later.
<sp-status-light variant="positive" disabled>disabled</sp-status-light>
Accessibility
The status light component implements several accessibility features:
- ARIA Support: When disabled, the component automatically sets 
aria-disabled="true". - Color Meaning: Colors are used in combination with text labels to ensure that status information is not conveyed through color alone.
 
Best Practices
- Use semantic variants (
positive,negative,notice,info,neutral) when the status has specific meaning - Include a clear, descriptive text label that explains the status
 - Consider the disabled state for statuses that exist but are temporarily unavailable
 - Ensure sufficient color contrast between the status light and its background
