# Brok UI block: Activity Feed (`activity-feed-timeline`)

An application activity feed — a card-wrapped vertical timeline of events with avatars, action text, target badges, timestamps and quoted snippets.

Brok UI is a Laravel Blade registry. `ui:add` copies this block into the app as plain Blade the app owns; it composes installed `<brok:*>` primitives and semantic design tokens.

## Install

```bash
php artisan ui:add blocks/activity-feed-timeline
```

## Render it

```blade
<x-blocks.activity-feed-timeline />
```

## Props

- `title` (string, default `Recent activity`)
- `view-all-href` (string, default `#`)
- `view-all-label` (string, default `View all`)
- `events` (mixed|null, default `null`)

## Use when

- Showing a card-wrapped vertical timeline of recent application events with avatars, action text and timestamps.
- Surfacing a quoted snippet, such as a comment body, inline with the event that produced it.

## Avoid when

- Use activity-feed-grouped to group events under day headers, or activity-feed-compact for a dense, compact audit log.

## Rules

- Render the installed block with `<x-blocks.activity-feed-timeline />` and pass data through its props; edit the copied file only for structural changes.
- Keep the semantic design tokens (`bg-background`, `text-muted-foreground`); never swap in raw colour utilities.
- Keep the `data-slot` attributes and the logical (start/end) spacing so the markup still mirrors under `dir="rtl"`.

Guidance

Use when

Showing a card-wrapped vertical timeline of recent application events with avatars, action text and timestamps.
Surfacing a quoted snippet, such as a comment body, inline with the event that produced it.

Avoid when

Use activity-feed-grouped to group events under day headers, or activity-feed-compact for a dense, compact audit log.

Anti-patterns

Do not replace semantic props with conflicting utility classes.
Do not remove labels, focus styles, or state attributes.

Usage

Render the block as a component, passing data where useful:

resources/views/welcome.blade.php Blade

<x-blocks.activity-feed-timeline />

Built from primitives

Composes <brok:*> Semantic tokens Re-themeable RTL-ready

This block composes installed <brok:*> primitives and semantic design tokens only — it does not reimplement any primitive. Re-theme it (light, dark, admin, customer) by editing CSS variables; flip the preview to RTL to confirm it mirrors.
