Developers uses most of the React patterns without even thinking of the patterns greatness in creating user interfaces. We are going to see some of those patterns no one talks about, but uses unintentionally, that boost the UI trust.<\/p>\n

When using them, the developers put no intentional effort to uplift the UI trust. But it happens. Those are micro interactions that help for detailing the UI by sending feedback based on user actions. These hidden micro interactions make the UI rich, intuitive and improve the user experience.<\/p>\n

A simple React-State-driven micro interaction<\/h2>\n

This tiny React example manages a button\u2019s press state. It triggers class based on the pressed\/released state change of the button element.<\/p>\n

\/\/Button press down micro-instruction\nconst [pressed, setPressed] = useState(false); \/\/ button elment to render on the interface\n<button\nonMouseDown={() => setPressed(true)}\nonMouseUp={() => setPressed(false)}\nclassName=className={`\ntransition-transform duration-150 ${pressed ? \"scale-95\" : \"scale-100\"}\n`}\n>\nSave\n<\/button>\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
This example code 1) allows mouse-down and mouse-up action -> 2) change the 'pressed' state -> 3) triggers class<\/strong><\/code><\/p>\n
\"React<\/p>\n
Common React Micro-Interactions that increase user trust<\/h2>\n
Micro interactions are added in React just like that. These are created by React patterns that are hidden to explain in most of the documentations and tutorials. They are treated as small UX detailing process rather than known as patterns. But, these are greatly contributing in UI enrichment. They helps to improve the UI to make users trust the interface.<\/p>\n
The list below show the different micro interaction techniques to send feedback to the UI.<\/p>\n
    \n
  1. Press down micro interaction when clicking a button.<\/li>\n
  2. Dynamic validation on input.<\/li>\n
  3. On hovering micro interaction to change the background or add shadow.<\/li>\n
  4. Showing spinner on processing background job.<\/li>\n
  5. Shaking animation for Reacting to errors<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    Press down\/up Effect<\/h2>\n
    This Pressable React wrapper is about to have a child clickable element. It consistantly perform the following micro interaction loop for user action.<\/p>\n
