𝗛𝗧𝗠𝗟 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗲𝘃𝗼𝗹𝘃𝗲𝗱 — 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝘁’𝘀 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗨𝗜 𝗯𝗲𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗼𝗿 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗝𝗮𝘃𝗮𝗦𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗽𝘁

Описание: HTML is introducing a 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗨𝗜 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀, and browsers are starting to implement it.

Two new attributes are emerging in the HTML spec:

1. command="action" — specifies what action to perform
2. commandfor="id" — targets another element by its id

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀

Traditionally, making a button control another element (like opening a menu or dialog) 𝗿𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗝𝗮𝘃𝗮𝗦𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗽𝘁:

• event listeners
• DOM queries
• manual accessibility handling

Even for simple interactions, the code often became verbose and fragile.

With command + commandfor, developers can express interaction logic 𝗱𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝗛𝗧𝗠𝗟, and the browser:

• performs the action
• manages accessibility attributes (like aria-expanded)
• handles focus and state

This is why many of the ergonomics developers usually rely on frameworks, 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗼𝗿 𝗰𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗽𝘁𝘀.

𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝘁-𝗶𝗻 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀
The command attribute maps to common native behaviors:

• show-popover, hide-popover, toggle-popover → popovers
• show-modal → opens a dialog
• close → closes a dialog

It also replaces older attributes like popovertarget and popovertargetaction with a more 𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝘅𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗔𝗣𝗜.

• This works only for 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗱, 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝘁-𝗶𝗻 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀
• You still need JavaScript for business logic, data, state, and complex flows
• Think of it as 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗼𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗿𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲, not 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗝𝗮𝘃𝗮𝗦𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗽𝘁

We’re slowly moving from 𝘑𝘚 𝘸𝘪𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 to 𝘏𝘛𝘔𝘓 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵, and JavaScript focusing on real logic.

Small change.
Big direction shift.
