Workspace Switcher - Copy this React, Mui Component to your project
Crete a workspace switcher component: Overall Layout The WorkspaceSwitcher consists of a primary button that displays the name of the currently selected workspace, accompanied by an ExpandMoreIcon to indicate that it is interactive and will expand to show more options. When clicked, a popover appears beneath this button, containing additional controls and a list of other available workspaces. Button Visual Design: The primary button that triggers the popover is styled using Material UI's Button component with the contained variant. This gives the button a distinct, elevated look with a shadow, making it stand out as a primary interaction element. Icons: An ExpandMoreIcon is placed to the right of the workspace name inside the button, signaling to users that they can expect a dropdown or additional options upon interaction. Feedback: On hover, Material UI buttons typically change their background slightly to a darker shade, providing immediate visual feedback that it is clickable. Popover Positioning: The popover is anchored to the bottom left of the button. This positioning is intuitive as it ensures the popover does not obscure the button, allowing the user to easily close it by clicking the button again if desired. Size and Padding: The popover is given a fixed width (300px) to ensure consistency regardless of the content size. It includes padding around its contents, which prevents the elements inside from touching the edges, enhancing visual clarity and touch friendliness. Shadow and Elevation: By default, MUI's Popover has a shadow, which helps distinguish the popover from the rest of the application, creating a sense of depth. Interaction Components within the Popover New Workspace Button: Icon and Label: This button features an AddIcon to the left of the label "New Workspace," which clearly indicates its function to add/create a new workspace. It spans the full width of the popover to emphasize its importance and ease of access. Styling: As a significant action button, its full width style makes it easy to tap or click, aligning with Fitts’s Law by reducing the distance and effort required to perform the action. Search Field: Functionality: Placed at the top within the popover (below the 'New Workspace' button), this TextField allows users to filter the list of workspaces by typing. It includes a placeholder text "Search workspaces..." to suggest its functionality. Accessibility: The input field automatically receives focus when the popover opens, allowing users to start typing immediately, which streamlines the workflow. List of Workspaces Dynamic Rendering: The workspace list is dynamically generated based on the workspaces array's contents. It filters based on the search query, making the component responsive to user input in real time. Button for Each Workspace: Start Icon: Each list item (button) includes an icon indicating the type of workspace (all using HomeIcon for simplicity in this example). Icons serve as quick visual cues about the nature of the workspace. Text Alignment and Styling: Workspace names are displayed in a Typography component with a body1 variant, which maintains semantic consistency and ensures text is easily readable. The text and icon are vertically centered, making the list aesthetically pleasing and balanced. Action: Clicking on a workspace button selects that workspace and closes the popover, a behavior that confirms the user’s action by visually changing the main button's label to the selected workspace's name. Accessibility Features Keyboard Interactions: The component supports basic keyboard interactions such as tab navigation and enter key actions, as inherited from the Material UI components. ARIA Properties: The aria describedby attribute on the main button ties it to the popover, aiding screen reader users in understanding the relationship between the button and the popover.
