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 dropzone

Behavior layer (Alpine)

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

resources/js/ui/index.js JS

import './dropzone.js';

Guidance

File input and upload

Attach an existing external file.

Use when

Use when users must provide an existing file and drag-and-drop or file selection reduces effort. Show accepted types, size limits, progress, errors, and a keyboard-accessible file picker; do not require dragging as the only input method.

Avoid when

Always provide a conventional file-picker path, clear constraints, upload progress, and recoverable errors. Drag-and-drop must remain optional.

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

Preferred alternatives

Direct structured form entry
Conventional file picker

Anti-patterns

Requiring drag-and-drop
Hiding file constraints until validation fails

Slots

x-ui.dropzone.dropzone — Installed subcomponent from the registry item.

Data slots

dropzone dropzone-files

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.dropzone.default.blade.php Blade

<div class="mx-auto w-full max-w-md">
    <x-ui.field name="attachments" label="Upload files" hint="PDF or images, up to 10 MB each.">
        <x-ui.dropzone name="attachments" accept=".pdf,image/*" :max-size="10" />
    </x-ui.field>
</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.
