About this episode
This episode explores invoker commands in CSS, including how to create custom commands and the concept of interest invokers.
In this episode of The CSS Podcast, we're diving into the power of invoker commands! Discover how the command and commandfor attributes allow you to declaratively open dialogs and show popovers. We'll explore standard commands and then jump into creating your own custom commands for more complex interactions. To close off, we're covering the concept of "interest invokers" and how the new CSS properties and selectors they bring.
