<h4>Shortcode Usage</h4>
<p><strong>Switch/buttons</strong></p>
<p>Basic usage:<br />
[wdevs_tax_switch]</p>
<p>Displays a switch to toggle displaying prices including or excluding VAT.</p>
<p>The shortcode accepts several attributes to customize its appearance and behavior:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>class-name</code>: Adds custom CSS classes to the switch.
<ul>
<li>Default: is-style-default</li>
<li>Options: is-style-default, is-style-inline, is-style-flat-pill, or custom classes</li>
</ul>

</ul>
</li>

<li><code>switch-color-checked</code>: Sets the color of the switch when it’s in the “on” position.</li>
<li><code>switch-background-color</code>: Sets the background color of the switch.</li>
<li><code>switch-text-color</code>: Sets the text color of the switch labels.</li>
<li><code>switch-background-color-checked</code>: Sets the background color of the switch when it’s in the “on” position.</li>
<li><code>switch-label-incl</code>: Sets the text for the “including VAT” label.
<ul>
<li>Default: Uses the text set in the plugin settings or “Incl. VAT” if not set.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><code>switch-label-excl</code>: Sets the text for the “excluding VAT” label.
<ul>
<li>Default: Uses the text set in the plugin settings or “Excl. VAT” if not set.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><code>switch-aria-label</code>: Sets the aria label of the switch.
<ul>
<li>Default: Uses the text set in the plugin settings or “Switch between prices including and excluding VAT” if not set.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Example with custom attributes:</p>
<pre><code>[wdevs_tax_switch class-name="is-style-inline" switch-type="switch" switch-color="#ffffff" switch-color-checked="#000000" switch-background-color="#000000" switch-background-color-checked="#4CAF50" switch-text-color="#FF0000" switch-label-incl="Incl. tax" switch-label-excl="Excl. tax" switch-aria-label="Switch between prices including and excluding VAT"]
</code></pre>
<p><strong>Label</strong></p>
<p>Basic usage:<br />
[wdevs_tax_switch_label]</p>
<p>Displays text indicating the currently selected tax setting. The text updates automatically when the tax switch is toggled.</p>
<p>The shortcode accepts several attributes to customize its appearance and behavior:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>class-name</code>: Adds custom CSS classes to the label.
<ul>
<li>Default: is-style-default</li>
<li>Options: is-style-default or custom classes</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><code>label-text-incl</code>: Sets the text to display when “including VAT” is selected.
<ul>
<li>Default: Uses the text set in the plugin settings or “Incl. VAT” if not set.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><code>label-text-excl</code>: Sets the text to display when “excluding VAT” is selected.
<ul>
<li>Default: Uses the text set in the plugin settings or “Excl. VAT” if not set.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><code>label-text-color</code>: Sets the “excluding VAT” text color.</li>
<li><code>label-text-color-checked</code>: Sets the “including VAT” text color.</li>
</ul>
<p>Example with custom attributes:</p>
<pre><code>[wdevs_tax_switch_label class-name="tax-indicator" label-text-incl="Prices include tax" label-text-excl="Prices exclude tax" label-text-color="#FF0000" label-text-color-checked="#4CAF50"]
</code></pre>
<h4>PHP implementation</h4>
<p>You can use these shortcodes with PHP with the do_shortcode() function:</p>
<pre><code><?php echo do_shortcode('[wdevs_tax_switch]'); ?>
<?php echo do_shortcode('[wdevs_tax_switch_label]'); ?>
</code></pre>
<h4>JavaScript events</h4>
<p>The switch fires a JavaScript event when the tax display is toggled. You can listen for this event to execute custom code when a user switches between inclusive and exclusive VAT display. This is useful for when you need to perform additional actions based on the tax display state.</p>
<pre><code>document.addEventListener('wdevs-tax-switch-changed', function(event) {
   console.log(event.detail);
   // event.detail contains:
   // - isSwitched: boolean - the raw switch state
   // - displayIncludingVat: boolean - whether prices now display including VAT
 });
</code></pre>
<p>If you are loading the switch dynamically (via AJAX), dispatch this event after rendering to initialize the component:</p>
<pre><code>   document.dispatchEvent( new CustomEvent('wdevs-tax-switch-appeared') );
</code></pre>
<h3>WPML</h3>
<p>To translate the option texts via WPML:</p>
<ol>
<li>Save your options first in: WooCommerce -> Settings -> Tax Switch</li>
<li>Then translate the texts in: WPML -> String Translations and search for your option values in the domain ‘tax-switch-for-woocommerce’</li>
</ol>
