# Brok UI: Editor Media (`editor-media`)

A semantic media element renderer for the editor — image, video, file, and embed types — with alignment, captions, placeholder states, and optional aspect-ratio constraint. Static; no JavaScript. Composed as <x-ui.editor.media>; <x-ui.editor-media> stays as the compatibility tag.

Brok UI is a Laravel Blade component registry. Installed components are plain Blade files the app owns.

## Install

```bash
php artisan ui:add editor-media
```

## Usage

```blade
<div class="mx-auto grid max-w-2xl gap-6 p-6">
    <x-ui.editor.media type="image" caption="A captioned image element." />
    <x-ui.editor.media type="video" caption="A video placeholder." />
    <x-ui.editor.media type="file" caption="annual-report.pdf" />
    <x-ui.editor.media type="embed" src="https://example.com/embed/123" caption="An embedded resource." />
</div>
```

## Props

- `type` (string, default `image`) — Media kind rendered: image, video, file, or embed.
- `src` (mixed|null, default `null`) — Source URL for the image, video, file, or embed link.
- `alt` (string, default ``) — Accessible alt text for the image variant.
- `caption` (mixed|null, default `null`) — Optional caption text shown below the media and used to derive a file's displayed name.
- `align` (string, default `center`) — Alignment of the media block: left, center (default), or right.
- `ratio` (mixed, default `16 / 9`) — Aspect ratio applied to the image and video placeholder frames.

## Use when

- Use when users need rich structured authoring, annotation, or collaborative editing controls.
- Rendering an editable image, video, file, or embed block inside the editor's document body.

## Avoid when

- Do not use rich editor affordances for simple one-line or plain-text tasks.
- The media needs to actually play or be interactive, such as a real video player; this renders an editor placeholder, not a media player.

## Anti-patterns

- Rich editors for one-line or easily validated input

## Rules

- Use the `<brok:editor-media>` tag (or `<x-ui.editor-media>`) in Blade; do not rewrite the component.
- Prefer the documented props and variants over utility-class overrides; when a utility must win, use the `!` important modifier.
- Use semantic design tokens (`bg-primary`, `text-muted-foreground`), never raw colour utilities.
- Keep the `data-slot` attributes; they are the styling and test hooks.

Props

Props accepted by this component: name, type, default value and description.
Prop Type Default Description
type string image Media kind rendered: image, video, file, or embed.
src mixed | null null Source URL for the image, video, file, or embed link.
alt string Accessible alt text for the image variant.
caption mixed | null null Optional caption text shown below the media and used to derive a file's displayed name.
align string center Alignment of the media block: left, center (default), or right.
ratio mixed 16 / 9 Aspect ratio applied to the image and video placeholder frames.

Slots

  • default —

Data slots

Stable hooks for CSS overrides and browser tests.

editor-media

Behavior

  • type switches between four renderings: image (an img inside aspect-ratio, or a placeholder with no src), video (a poster area with a play-button overlay), file (a chip row with a badge and download link), and embed (a bordered frame linking to src). The download and embed links use src only when it is relative or http(s); a javascript: or data: src is shown as text.
  • align applies a logical margin utility, start, center, or end, to the outer figure so alignment mirrors correctly under dir="rtl".
  • Declares registry capability flags: a11y, responsive, rtl, darkMode, localized.

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.
  • Rendering an editable image, video, file, or embed block inside the editor's document body.

Avoid when

  • Do not use rich editor affordances for simple one-line or plain-text tasks.
  • The media needs to actually play or be interactive, such as a real video player; this renders an editor placeholder, not a media player.

Use instead

  • Textarea or plain field for simple content

Anti-patterns

  • Rich editors for one-line or easily validated input

Focus

  • An optional figcaption renders when caption is set, and every decorative icon inside each media type carries aria-hidden.
  • Semantic HTML and a stable data-slot attribute for styling and 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 in the preview.
  • Labels go through __() and layout uses logical properties (ms-*, text-start), so it mirrors under dir="rtl" — flip the preview to RTL to confirm.
  • Dark mode uses the same semantic tokens under the dark class; high contrast follows forced-color system tokens.

Livewire

Safe

Livewire can update this component through forwarded wire:* attributes.

Validation

Validation support: native. Keep the error message connected with aria-describedby.

livewire-form.blade.php Blade
<form wire:submit="save" class="space-y-2">
    <brok:editor-media
        wire:model="value"
        :aria-invalid="$errors->has('value') ? 'true' : 'false'"
        aria-describedby="value-error"
    />

    @error('value')
        <p id="value-error" role="alert">{{ $message }}</p>
    @enderror

    <brok:button type="submit" wire:loading.attr="disabled">
        <span wire:loading.remove>Save</span>
        <span wire:loading>Saving…</span>
    </brok:button>
</form>

    Editor Media: a semantic media element renderer.

    Renders inside the editor body as an editable block representation for the
    four supported media types:

      image  — <img> inside <x-ui.aspect-ratio>; a bg-muted placeholder when no
               $src is set.
      video  — <x-ui.aspect-ratio> with a muted poster area and a centered
               primary-coloured play-button overlay (no actual <video> element —
               this is an editor placeholder, not a media player).
      file   — a token-styled chip row: file icon, name, <x-ui.badge> extension,
               and a download icon button.
      embed  — a bordered bg-card frame with a globe icon, "Embedded content"
               label, and the $src shown as a muted link.

    An optional <figcaption> is rendered when $caption is set.

    Alignment is applied to the outer <figure> via logical margin utilities so
    it mirrors correctly under dir="rtl":
      left   → me-auto
      center → mx-auto
      right  → ms-auto
--}}

@php
    // Alignment wrapper classes (logical properties — RTL-safe).

        'left'  => 'me-auto',
        'right' => 'ms-auto',
        default => 'mx-auto',
    };

    // Derive a file extension from the caption or src for the badge.
    $filename  = $caption ?? ($src ? basename($src) : __('document.pdf'));
    $extension = strtoupper(pathinfo($filename, PATHINFO_EXTENSION) ?: 'FILE');

    // The download and embed links use $src as an href: link it only when its
    // scheme is http(s) or it is relative, never javascript: or data:.
    $scheme = preg_match('/^([a-z][a-z0-9+.-]*):/i', (string) preg_replace('/[\x00-\x20]/', '', (string) $src), $match) ? strtolower($match[1]) : null;
