Viewport

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

Guidance

Layout and content structure

Structure content hierarchy and responsive relationships.

Use when

Use to structure hierarchy, spacing, and responsiveness so content is easier to scan and navigate. Do not let layout primitives substitute for semantics, headings, or interaction rules users still need.

Avoid when

Avoid using container 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: low
Interruptiveness: none
Input precision: none
Mobile / touch risk: low
Accessibility risk: medium
Needs background context: No
Comparison needed: No

Preferred alternatives

Semantic HTML with standard flow

Anti-patterns

Using visual layout as a substitute for semantic structure

API

manifest knowledge + registry-derived coverage

Capabilities

wcag-2.2-aa-target responsive rtl darkMode localized

Behavior

Usage

previews.components.container.default.blade.php Blade

<x-ui.container size="sm" class="rounded-lg border border-border bg-card py-6 text-center text-card-foreground">
    {{ __('Bounded, centered content') }}
</x-ui.container>

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.
