Card Stack ticks all by default #2793

MoshiMoshiMochi · 2026-01-20T07:42:02Z

What is the purpose of this pull request?

resolves #2781

Overview of changes:

All tags are now ticked by default.
Added Select All [ ] feature that can be used to tick/untick all tags in one click
Added basic test cases
Added show-select-all flag as an optional cardstack (defaults to true) & updated the user guide documentation accordingly.

Anything you'd like to highlight/discuss:

Added a watcher on cardStackRef.tagMapping to ensure that once the <card> components register their tags, that the parent automatically adds them to selectedTags. Since selectedTags is now populated on load, all tags appear checked to begin with.
Added mandatory tag "Select All"
2.1 It can be used to toggle all tags to clear/select all tags in
2.2 It syncs with all the selected tags, meaning that unchecking a single tag automatically unchecks "Select All". This is to better signify that not all tags have been selected.
Repurposed showAllTags(showTag) to accept a boolean. It now serves as a master switch to loop through all child cards and set their disableTag state to either true (visible) or false (hidden).
Modified updateTag so that unchecking all cards now displays no other cards. Previously doing so would automatically display all cards again.

See Demo Example 1 (On the functionality of Select All)

UserGuide error? (Resolved)

Shouldn't disable be disabled? See demo example above for reference. Kindly let me know if I'm mistaken or if I should go ahead and fix this since its so small.

Perhaps we can make the select-all button not always show up, but make it conditional where there is a flag (e.g. showSelectAll) etc that we can set to true to show this button, otherwise, don't show it.

Otherwise, we can do the opposite, by supporting a way to disable the select all button

@MoshiMoshiMochi I think the Select all toggle should appear quite different from all the other tags. For example, without any background colour and text in bold.

Noted will get to work on that!

MoshiMoshiMochi · 2026-01-24T16:52:27Z

Hi Prof @damithc! I've set the Select All toggle to be transparent with its text in bold. Additionally, I also decided to transform the text to uppercase fully to perhaps standout further from the others which aren't. Kindly see

I've also experimented using a linear gradient. This could possibly be another way of making it stand out further since all other toggle badges use a single color. I also tried experimenting with radial/conic gradients but I couldn't really come up with something that I felt blended in with the current design.

Linear Gradient sweeping across

2. Linear Gradient fading in and out and in

3. Rainbow linear gradient at 45deg (as a joke of course haha)

Do let me know if this is something you had in mind (, which option you prefer), and/or if there are other styling options/ideas you would like me to experiment/proceed with.

@MoshiMoshiMochi I like the first one but let's go without the border. I think no need for bold either. If possible, experiment putting the tick box on the left of the text for Select all, to see if that works better.

MoshiMoshiMochi · 2026-01-25T04:14:25Z

Hi prof @damithc! As requested I have experimented with removing the bold, border and also by moving the checkbox to the left.

Here is the checkbox on the right like usual for comparison.

I also tried experimenting with moving all the individual tags to the second row, while keeping the first row for the Search Bar & Select All (and perhaps other future tools for filtering like colour filtering).

Kindly let me know if this is something you had in mind (, which option you prefer), and once more if there are other styling options/ideas you would like me to further experiment/proceed with.

damithc · 2026-01-25T04:53:02Z

@MoshiMoshiMochi I prefer the first one. It still looks bold. Likely the UI control used is using bold by default. You may have to explicitly use non-bold.

Separately, I'm wondering if we should auto-omit the select-all if there are fewer than N tags (e.g., 3). This can be a separate PR though.

MoshiMoshiMochi · 2026-01-25T06:39:14Z

Hi prof @damithc! Kindly view the changes below, I've explicitly set the font weight for the select all to be normal. Do let me know if this is what you had in mind.

Yep sounds like a great idea! The current design already checks the length of the tagmapping is > 0 before it displays the Select All toggle. All it would require would be to updating this with a constant value (like the suggested 3) or we could pass an additional flag within cardstack so that the user can control this in the future.

Looks good. Let's go with this one.

Let's set it to >3.

MoshiMoshiMochi · 2026-01-25T08:14:58Z

Hi prof @damithc! I've made the changes as requested.

From the example below, we can see that while both cardstacks have 3 cards, the cardstack below only has 3 tags and therefore the Select All toggle is automatically disabled as it doesn't meet the threshold requirement of having >3 tags.
