You have a <button>, it makes a <foo> open. What would be the best declarative attribute for the button to control the foo?
<button clickaction=open
<button invokeaction=open
<button command=open

@keithamus I'm slightly confused by this - would there then be another attribute that gives the id of the <foo> element?
@sarajw yes there would. It would likely be named similarly, so e.g. `clickactiontarget`, `invoketarget`, `commandtarget`, or similar.
@keithamus ok that makes sense :)
I don't much like the one with 'click' in it, as that's not the only way to activate a button.
They all seem so long, haha. Honestly otherwise however it's named I'd just be so happy to code stuff up like that. So neat. So simple!
@sarajw full disclosure we've been working on the idea for a while: https://open-ui.org/components/invokers.explainer
This is a last minute look at the API naming!
@keithamus thank you! Yeah if I was at my computer and not my phone I might have gone looking myself - you did post an article about it a while back I think? I love the whole thing.
@keithamus and can't we have the attribute be called `action` even if one already exists in <form>s?
So maybe like:
```
<button action="open" controls="my-dialog-id">Show options</button>
```
I guess for a dialog we might also have a "showModal" action available... 🤔
@sarajw it might be confusing with forms, but if I'm happy to try if there's a strong desire from the community.
@keithamus it just seems perfectly fitting to me. And I used "controls" because I was thinking of aria, but just target would be great.
Luke@sarajw @keithamus So one thing to add is there's a 2nd type of 'thingy' which acts on interest (hover/focus/etc) rather than invoke(click), and the idea is they could be used at the same time. Not to say 'action' is bad but it's worth considering that bit too.
@Lukew @keithamus interesting! Fair play, naming is hard and I'm an outsider just speaking my mind :)
I'm stoked for this though. Feels like how buttons *should* work. But if inline JavaScript was a security issue, how is this safer? Just a lot less flexible and more hardwired?
@sarajw @keithamus Fwiw showModal is one of the proposed actions :)
@Lukew @keithamus excellent, consider me fully on board, tell me where I can star/thumbs up/boost/comment to help it along, and I'm so there
@keithamus @Lukew then you're very welcome! I'm no authority but happy to help in any way
