But don't hide it immediately, because the user can't see if they made a selection, or accidentally closed it. Instead, fade slowly so that you can see the selected option momentarily (like system menus). This gives enough feedback while we wait for the selected action to perform.
I did attempt a blink on the item background colour, like my favourite OS does which is really helpful. But couldn't get the CSS to work.
This naming scheme removes some duplication which is nice, but it's a little strange and results in a longer name overall. I don't like it very much because:
- filenames don't include the component's actual name. This makes it slightly harder to find them in my text editor (but I'd probably get used to that)
- the namespace and class naming isn't exactly right. This is _the_ vertical_ellipsis_menu, not a subcomponent.
- the stimulus controller name is now longer, adding more cruft to the HTML.
Lots of discussion here: https://github.com/ViewComponent/view_component/discussions/67
People tried to come up with a better way (and I was tempted to try myself). It seems this approach won. I guess it's not so bad if your component names are shorter.
Javascript hasn't been moved in, as we don't seem to be set up for that yet.
We could make it smarter, and pass in an array of parameters to build the links (as in _order_links.html.haml). But why make it complicated if we don't need to?
