Plug Socket Toggle
A plug on a cable slides into a wall socket: the prongs disappear into the slots, a spark flashes at the contact, the socket jolts and its LED lights up. Unplug and the cable reels back.
Also known as: plug in toggle css, connect disconnect switch, power plug switch.

}Customizing this snippet
- Color: set
--tgl-coloron the element or a parent. Currently previewing#3b82f6. - Size: set
--tgl-size. Every other dimension is inem, so the whole thing scales together. Currently previewing24px. - Speed: change the duration on the
transitionoranimationshorthand. Staggered delays are relative, so they keep their rhythm. - Reduced motion: the rule at the end of the CSS turns the motion off for people who asked their OS for less of it. Keep it.
