# Brok UI block: Portfolio Masonry (`portfolio-masonry`)

A portfolio section as a CSS-columns masonry wall of varied-height project tiles with hover captions.

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/portfolio-masonry
```

## Render it

```blade
<x-blocks.portfolio-masonry />
```

## Props

- `eyebrow` (string, default `Selected work`) — Small label shown above the heading.
- `heading` (string, default `Built end to end`) — Section headline.
- `subheading` (string, default `A cross-section of recent projects — branding, product, and web — each shaped from first sketch to final delivery.`) — Supporting copy under the heading.
- `projects` (mixed|null, default `null`) — Array of masonry tiles ({title, category, href, aspect, gradient}); null falls back to sample projects.

## Use when

- Displaying projects as a dense CSS-columns masonry wall of varied-height, varied-aspect tiles.
- Revealing each tile's category and title as a caption overlay on hover or focus instead of static labels.

## Avoid when

- Needing category filter chips (portfolio-grid) or case-study rows with descriptions and result metrics (portfolio-case-studies-rows).

## Rules

- Render the installed block with `<x-blocks.portfolio-masonry />` 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

Displaying projects as a dense CSS-columns masonry wall of varied-height, varied-aspect tiles.
Revealing each tile's category and title as a caption overlay on hover or focus instead of static labels.

Avoid when

Needing category filter chips (portfolio-grid) or case-study rows with descriptions and result metrics (portfolio-case-studies-rows).

Anti-patterns

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

Anatomy: section heading masonry columns project tile hover caption with category and title

Usage

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

resources/views/welcome.blade.php Blade

<x-blocks.portfolio-masonry />

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.
