Image Picker
Selectable 2×2 grid of image options with a highlighted choice.
Preview
Controls
Device view renders in an isolated frame so real responsive breakpoints apply. Switch to Full for overflowing popovers.
Installation
php artisan ui:add image-picker
Behavior layer (Alpine)
This component installs a self-registering Alpine module to
resources/js/ui/image-picker.js. Import the behavior layer once
from your bundle so it loads (it hooks alpine:init):
import './image-picker.js';

Guidance
Media selection and presentationSelect, preview, or compare visual media.
Use when
- Use when image or video selection, preview, or media-based comparison is part of the task. Do not require media-heavy interaction when a simpler text or list solution would be faster.
Avoid when
- Avoid using image-picker 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
- medium
- Interaction cost
- high
- Interruptiveness
- none
- Input precision
- none
- Mobile / touch risk
- high
- Accessibility risk
- high
- Needs background context
- No
- Comparison needed
- Yes
Preferred alternatives
- Text or list representation
Anti-patterns
- Requiring media-heavy interaction when text is faster
API
manifest knowledge + registry-derived coverageProps
| Prop | Type / values | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| images | array | [ | Declared by @props in the registry Blade source. |
| selected | mixed|null | null | Declared by @props in the registry Blade source. |
Slots
Components use the default Blade slot unless a documented subcomponent is installed by the registry item.
Data slots
image-picker
Capabilities
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
<x-ui.image-picker :selected="0" class="mx-auto w-full max-w-xs" />
Accessibility & localization
data-slot
Keyboard focus-visible
Localized labels
- Accessibility target: wcag-2.2-aa-target.
- Uses semantic HTML and a stable
data-slotattribute for styling/scripting hooks. - Focus-visible rings use the
ringtoken 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.
