Lightning fast

Server-rendered Blade with zero runtime JavaScript for the layout.

Composable

Drop cells in any order and let the grid flow around their spans.

Accessible

Semantic tokens and reduced-motion friendly out of the box.

Theme aware

Adapts to light and dark automatically.

Responsive

One column on mobile, two on tablet, full grid on desktop.

Controls

Viewport

Device view renders in an isolated frame so real responsive breakpoints apply. Switch to Full for overflowing popovers.

Guidance

Card-based organization

Organize browsable objects into scannable units.

Use when

Use to group related content into scannable units for browsing, prioritization, or rearrangement. Do not use card-like structures when dense row-by-row comparison would be clearer in a list or table.

Avoid when

Avoid using bento as a default simply because it is available in the library. Choose it only when its interaction cost, visibility, and behavior match the job to be done.

Task length: short
Interaction cost: medium
Interruptiveness: none
Input precision: none
Mobile / touch risk: medium
Accessibility risk: medium
Needs background context: No
Comparison needed: Yes

Preferred alternatives

Table for exact comparison
List for compact scanning

Anti-patterns

Turning every object into a card

Accessibility & localization

WCAG 2.2 AA RTL-ready data-slot Keyboard focus-visible Localized labels

Accessibility target: wcag-2.2-aa-target.
Uses semantic HTML and a stable data-slot attribute for styling/scripting hooks.
Focus-visible rings use the ring token so keyboard focus is always visible.
Disabled and invalid states are conveyed to assistive tech, not by color alone.
Targets WCAG 2.2 AA; verify contrast in light, dark, admin and customer surfaces above.
Labels go through __() and the component uses logical properties (ms-*, text-start, start-*) so it mirrors correctly — flip the preview to RTL to confirm.

Source

The exact, editable file ui:add writes into your app — copy it or own the whole thing. Previews render this same code; there are no preview-only components.
