It is a trap! We got your focus and will not let him out!

- Modal dialogs. You can not leave it with "Tab", ie do a "tab-out".
- Focused tasks. It will aways brings you back, as you can "lock" user inside a component.
- Any any other case, when you have to lock user _intention_ and _focus_, if that's what `a11y` is asking for.

# Features
 - no keyboard control, everything is done watching a __focus behavior__, not emulating it. Thus works always and everywhere.
 - React __Portals__ support. Even if some data is in outer space - it is [still in lock](https://github.com/theKashey/react-focus-lock/issues/19).
 - _Scattered_ locks, or focus lock groups - you can setup different isolated locks, and _tab_ from one to another.
 - Controllable isolation level.
 - variable size bundle. Uses sidecar to trim UI part to 1.5kb. 
 
> 💡 __focus__ locks is only the first part, there are also __scroll lock__ and __text-to-speech__ lock
you have to use to really "lock" the user.

# How to use
Just wrap something with focus lock, and focus will be `moved inside` on mount.
```js
 import FocusLock from 'react-focus-lock';

 const JailForAFocus = ({onClose}) => (
    <FocusLock>
      You can not leave this form
      <button onClick={onClose} />
    </FocusLock>
 );
```
Demo - https://codesandbox.io/s/5wmrwlvxv4.

# WHY?
From [MDN Article about accessible dialogs](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/ARIA_Techniques/Using_the_dialog_role):
 - The dialog must be properly labeled
 - Keyboard __focus must be managed__ correctly
 
This one is about managing the focus.

I've got a good [article about focus management, dialogs and  WAI-ARIA](https://medium.com/@antonkorzunov/its-a-focus-trap-699a04d66fb5).    

# API
> FocusLock would work perfectly even with no props set.

 FocusLock has few props to tune behavior, all props are optional:
  - `[disabled`, to disable(enable) behavior without altering the tree.
  - `returnFocus`, to return focus into initial position on unmount(not disable).
> By default `returnFocus` is disabled, so FocusLock will not restore original focus on deactivation.
    
  This is expected behavior for Modals, but it is better to implement it by your self.
  - `persistentFocus=false`, requires any element to be focused. This also disables text selections inside, and __outside__ focus lock.
  - `autoFocus=true`, enables or disables focusing into on Lock activation. If disabled Lock will blur an active focus.
  - `noFocusGuards=false` disabled _focus guards_ - virtual inputs which secure tab index.
  - `group='''` named focus group for focus scattering aka [combined lock targets](https://github.com/theKashey/vue-focus-lock/issues/2)
  - `shards=[]` an array of `ref` pointing to the nodes, which focus lock should consider and a part of it. This is another way focus scattering.  
  - `whiteList=fn` you could _whitelist_ locations FocusLock should carry about. Everything outside it will ignore. For example - any modals.
  - `as='div'` if you need to change internal `div` element, to any other. Use ref forwarding to give FocusLock the node to work with.
  - `lockProps={}` to pass any extra props (except className) to the internal wrapper.

### Focusing in OSX (Safari/FireFox) is strange!
By default `tabbing` in OSX `sees` only controls, but not links or anything else `tabbable`. This is system settings, and Safari/FireFox obey.
Press Option+Tab in Safary to loop across all tabbables, or change the Safary settings. There is no way to _fix_ FireFox, unless change system settings (Control+F7). See [this issue](https://github.com/theKashey/react-focus-lock/issues/24) for more information.

## Set up
### Requirements
- version 1x is React 15/16 compatible
- version 2+ requires React 16.8+ (hooks)
### Import
`react-focus-lock` exposed __3 entry points__: for the classical usage, and a _sidecar_ one.
#### Default usage
- 4kb, `import FocusLock from 'react-focus-lock` would give you component you are looking for.

#### Separated usage
Meanwhile - you dont need any focus related logic until it's needed.
Thus - you may defer that logic till Lock activation and move all related code to a _sidecar_.

- UI, __1.5kb__, `import FocusLockUI from 'react-focus-lock/UI` - a DOM part of a lock.
- Sidecar, 3.5kb, `import Sidecar from 'react-focus-lock/sidecar` - which is the real focus lock.

```js
import FocusLockUI from "react-focus-lock/UI";
import {sidecar} from "use-sidecar";

// prefetch sidecar. data would be loaded, but js would not be executed
const FocusLockSidecar = sidecar(  
  () => import(/* webpackPrefetch: true */ "react-focus-lock/sidecar")
);

<FocusLockUI
    disabled={this.state.disabled}
    sideCar={FocusLockSidecar}
>
 {content}
</FocusLockUI> 
```
That would split FocusLock into two pieces, reducing app size and improving the first load.
The cost of focus-lock is just 1.5kb!

> Saved 3.5kb?! 🤷‍♂️ 3.5kb here and 3.5kb here, and your 20mb bundle is ready.

# Autofocus
 As long you cannot use `autoFocus` prop - 
 cos "focusing" should be delayed to Trap activation, and autoFocus will effect immediately - 
 Focus Lock provide a special API for it
      
 - prop `data-autofocus` on the element.
 - prop `data-autofocus-inside` on the element to focus on something inside.
 - `AutoFocusInside` component, as named export of this library.
```js
 import FocusLock, { AutoFocusInside } from 'react-focus-lock';
 
 <FocusLock>
   <button>Click</button>
   <AutoFocusInside>
    <button>will be focused</button>
   </AutoFocusInside>
 </FocusLock>
 // is the same as
 
 <FocusLock>
   <button>Click</button>
    <button data-autofocus>will be focused</button>
 </FocusLock>
 ```
 
 If there is more than one auto-focusable target - the first will be selected.
 If it is a part of radio group, and __rest of radio group element are also autofocusable__(just put them into AutoFocusInside) - 
 checked one fill be selected.
 
 `AutoFocusInside` will work only on Lock activation, and does nothing, then used outside of the lock.
 You can use `MoveFocusInside` to move focus inside with or without lock.
 
```js
 import { MoveFocusInside } from 'react-focus-lock';
    
 <MoveFocusInside>
  <button>will be focused</button>
 </MoveFocusInside>
 ```
 
# Portals
Use focus scattering to handle portals

- using `groups`. Just create a few locks (only one could be active) with a same group name
```js
const PortaledElement = () => (
   <FocusLock group="group42" disabled={true}>
     // "discoverable" portaled content
   </FocusLock>  
);

<FocusLock group="group42">
  // main content
</FocusLock>
```
- using `shards`. Just pass all the pieces to the "shards" prop. 
```js
const PortaledElement = () => (
   <div ref={ref}>
     // "discoverable" portaled content
   </div>  
);

<FocusLock shards={[ref]}>
  // main content
</FocusLock>
```
- without anything. FocusLock will not prevent focusing portaled element, but will not include them in to tab order 
```js
const PortaledElement = () => (
   <div>
     // NON-"discoverable" portaled content
   </div>  
);

<FocusLock shards={[ref]}>
  // main content
  <PortaledElement />
</FocusLock>
```

### Using your own `Components`
You may use `as` prop to change _what_ Focus-Lock will render around `children`.
```js
<FocusLock as="section">
    <button>Click</button>
    <button data-autofocus>will be focused</button>
 </FocusLock>
 
 <FocusLock as={AnotherComponent} lockProps={{anyAnotherComponentProp: 4}}>
    <button>Click</button>
    <span>Hello there!</span>
 </FocusLock>
``` 

### Guarding
As you may know - FocusLock is adding `Focus Guards` before and after lock to remove some side effects, like page scrolling.
But `shards` will not have such guards, and it might be not so cool to use them - for example if no `tabbable` would be
defined after shard - you will tab to the browser chrome.

You may wrap shard  with `InFocusGuard` or just drop `InFocusGuard` here and there - that would solve the problem.
```js
import {InFocusGuard} from 'react-focus-lock';

// wrap with
<InFocusGuard>
  <button />
</InFocusGuard>

// place before and after
<InFocusGuard />
<button />
<InFocusGuard />
```
InFocusGuards would be active(tabbable) only when tabble, it protecting, is focused.

#### Removing Tailing Guard
If only your modal is the last tabble element on the body - you might remove the Tailing Guard,
to allow user _tab_ into address bar.
```js
<InFocusGuard/>
<button />  
// there is no "tailing" guard :)
```
 
# Unmounting and focus management
 - In case FocusLock has `returnFocus` enabled, and it's gonna to be unmounted - focus will be returned after zero-timeout.
 - In case `returnFocus` did not set, and you are going to control focus change by your own - keep in mind
 >> React will first call Parent.componentWillUnmount, and next Child.componentWillUnmount
 
 Thus means - Trap will be still active, be the time you _may_ want move(return) focus on componentWillUnmount. Please deffer this action with a zero-timeout. 

# Not only for React
 Uses [focus-lock](https://github.com/theKashey/focus-lock/) under the hood. It does also provide support for Vue.js and Vanilla DOM solutions
 
# Warning!
Two different _focus-lock-managers_ or even different version of a single one, active
simultaneously will FIGHT!

__Focus-lock will surrender__, as long any other focus management library will not.

## Focus fighting
You may wrap some render branch with `FreeFocusInside`, and react-focus-lock __will ignore__
any focus inside marked node, thus landing a peace.

```js
import { FreeFocusInside } from 'react-focus-lock';

<FreeFocusInside>
 <div id="portal-for-modals">
   in this div i am going to portal my modals, dont fight with them please
 </div>
</FreeFocusInside>
```

Even the better is to `whiteList` FocusLock areas - for example "you should handle only React Stuff in React Root"
```js
<FocusLock whiteList={node => document.getElementById('root').contains(node)}>
 ...
</FocusLock>
```

PS: __please use webpack or yarn resolution for force one version of react-focus-lock used__

> webpack.conf
```js
 resolve: {    
    alias: {
      'react-focus-lock': path.resolve(path.join(__dirname, './node_modules/react-focus-lock'))
 ...
```

# More
To create a "right" modal dialog you have to:
- manage a focus. Use this library
- block document scroll. Use [react-scroll-locky](https://github.com/theKashey/react-scroll-locky).
- hide everything else from screen readers. Use [aria-hidden](https://github.com/theKashey/aria-hidden)

You may use [react-focus-on](https://github.com/theKashey/react-focus-on) to archive everything above, assembled in the right order.
