# Gesture Tap

A contact circle taps a mobile pill button, releases it into a new labeled accent state, and lifts away.

**Gesture Tap**

```html gesture-tap.html theme={null}
<!doctype html>
<!--
  gesture-tap: HyperFrames video primitive (ui-props / interaction / demonstrate)

  Concept: a contact circle appears directly over a real pill button, presses
  it, releases it into a new state, then lifts away. One mechanic, one job:
  showing a decisive mobile tap response.

  Variables:
    - tap_label (string, default "Follow"): button label before release.
    - response_label (string, default "Following"): button label after release.
    - accent (enum, green | blue | violet, default green): response color.

  Envelope: fixed IN and OUT with elastic HOLD only.
    IN_BASE = 1.35s. The stage fades in, contact fades up at the target,
    presses, then releases. The label swap, accent response, and pulse share
    one release timestamp.
    HOLD = max(0, D - IN - OUT). Only this phase stretches for longer mounts.
    A barely visible card drift keeps the held state alive.
    OUT_BASE = 0.55s. The completed mobile state fades cleanly.
    If D is shorter than IN_BASE + OUT_BASE, IN and OUT compress together.

  Mount contract: the runtime clones only this template. #root fills the host
  box, establishes the container query basis, carries no data-width or
  data-height, and registers one paused timeline under the literal
  gesture-tap key.

## Paste it into your composition

Open `compositions/components/gesture-tap.html` and copy what is inside into your own composition.

A component has no size or duration of its own. It takes both from the composition
you paste it into.

## Variables

Every one of these has a default, so the piece works untouched. Set the ones you
want to change on the element:

| Variable | Default | Accepts | What it does |
| - | - | - | - |
| `tap_label` | `Follow` | string | Button label shown before the tap response. |
| `response_label` | `Following` | string | Button label shown when the tap releases. |
| `accent` | `green` | `green`, `blue`, `violet` | Color used for the completed button state and response pulse. |

Set them with `data-variable-values` on the element that mounts it. These are the
defaults, so this behaves exactly like the preview above until you change one:

```html wrap theme={null}
<div
  data-composition-id="gesture-tap"
  data-composition-src="compositions/components/gesture-tap.html"
  data-variable-values='{"tap_label":"Follow","response_label":"Following","accent":"green"}'
></div>
```

Tagged `motion-primitive` `gesture` `tap` `interaction` `ui-props`.
