Cooldown Button

“Resend code” with the wait drawn on its border: the outline drains clockwise as a timer, then closes, glows once and the button is ready.

The prompt

The design brief behind this component — reuse it to regenerate, remix, or explain it.

Build a 'Resend code' button for a verification screen whose border is the cooldown timer. From the measured size, draw a pill outline in SVG starting at the top centre and running clockwise, twice: a faint track, and an accent arc with pathLength=1. Every animation frame, with rem = time left ÷ total, set the arc's stroke-dasharray to 'rem 1' and its dashoffset to −(1 − rem), so it drains clockwise from the top. The label ticks once a second ('Resend code in 0:24', tabular figures) and the button is aria-disabled with an accessible label that gives the seconds left. At zero the arc becomes a closed ring in green, a copy of it glows and fades once (900ms), the label reads 'Resend code' and a polite live region says it's available. Pressing it then calls onResend, announces 'New code sent to +968 9••• 4412' and starts the wait again.

Notes

Interaction
Wait for the border to drain, then press to resend; it starts the wait again.
Motion
Arc drains continuously over the cooldown; a 900ms glow when it's ready.
Accessibility
Uses aria-disabled instead of disabled, so the button stays focusable and its label says how long is left; readiness and resends are announced politely. Reduced motion keeps the timer but drops the glow.
Responsive
The outline is rebuilt from the measured size.
