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 expandable-card

Behavior layer (Alpine)

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

resources/js/ui/index.js JS

import './expandable-card.js';

Guidance

Card and content widget

Present a self-contained content object with local context.

Use when

Use when self-contained content objects benefit from a recognizable card-like presentation with local actions or metadata. Do not use card widgets where a simpler list, table, or plain text block would make comparison faster.

Avoid when

Avoid using expandable-card 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

List for compact scanning
Table for exact comparison

Anti-patterns

Using cards for dense cross-item comparison

Slots

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

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.expandable-card.default.blade.php Blade

<div class="mx-auto w-full max-w-md p-6">
    <x-ui.expandable-card />
</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.
