Sibling-count Web Component

A web component that allows you to put --sibling-count on the parent item, as well as --sibling-index on each child item. This allows cool things such as https://nerdy.dev/cyclical-radio-group-with-trig-functions-and-grid but without the hard-work of hand-coding the css variables.

Scripts

• npm run dev - runs the vite dev environment
• npm run build - builds the project with vite build
• npm run npm:publish - publishes the package to npm (needs One Time Password)

Notes

You can import with unpkg https://unpkg.com/@bigandy/sibling-count@latest and then use in your HTML

<sibling-count>
  <ul>
    <li></li>
    <li></li>
    <li></li>
    <li></li>
    <li></li>
    <li></li>
    <li></li>
    <li></li>
    <li></li>
    <li></li>
  </ul>
</sibling-count>

<ul style="--sibling-count: 10;">
  <li style="--sibling-index: 1;"></li>
  <li style="--sibling-index: 2;"></li>
  <li style="--sibling-index: 3;"></li>
  <li style="--sibling-index: 4;"></li>
  <li style="--sibling-index: 5;"></li>
  <li style="--sibling-index: 6;"></li>
  <li style="--sibling-index: 7;"></li>
  <li style="--sibling-index: 8;"></li>
  <li style="--sibling-index: 9;"></li>
  <li style="--sibling-index: 10;"></li>
</ul>

and use the following CSS

ul {
  list-style: none;
  padding-left: 0;
  transform: rotate(-90deg);
  width: 500px;
  aspect-ratio: 1;

  & li {
    height: 3em;
    background: hsl(
      calc(var(--sibling-index) * calc(360 / var(--sibling-count) * 1deg)) 100% 50%
    );
  }
}

Resulting in this:
