Color Dropdown

A text and highlight colour picker whose swatches resolve design tokens to real colours at runtime.

Viewport

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

Installation

terminal
php artisan ui:add color-dropdown

Behavior layer (Alpine)

This component installs a self-registering Alpine module to resources/js/ui/color-dropdown.js. Import the behavior layer once from your bundle so it loads (it hooks alpine:init):

resources/js/ui/index.js JS
import './color-dropdown.js';

Guidance

Rich authoring and editing

Create or revise structured rich content.

Use when

  • Use when users need rich structured authoring, annotation, or collaborative editing controls. Do not use rich editor affordances for simple one-line or plain-text tasks.

Avoid when

  • Avoid using color-dropdown 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.

Preferred alternatives

  • Textarea or plain field for simple content

API

manifest knowledge + registry-derived coverage

Props

No documented props. Pass normal Blade attributes through the component root.

Slots

Components use the default Blade slot unless a documented subcomponent is installed by the registry item.

Data slots

color-dropdown

Capabilities

wcag-2.2-aa-target interactive responsive rtl darkMode localized

Behavior

  • Uses server-rendered Blade and semantic HTML.
  • Installs a JavaScript behavior module when the registry item includes resources/js/ui files.
  • Declares registry capability flags: a11y, interactive, responsive, rtl, darkMode, localized.

Usage

previews.components.color-dropdown.default.blade.php Blade
<div class="flex justify-center p-6">
    <x-ui.color-dropdown />
</div>

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.
