# Brok UI: Mini Calendar (`mini-calendar`)
A compact week strip: weekday over day number, a month label, arrows that page by a week, ISO value, keyboard navigation, min/max bounds; localized with Intl.
Brok UI is a Laravel Blade component registry. Installed components are plain Blade files the app owns.
## Install
```bash
php artisan ui:add mini-calendar
```
## Usage
```blade
{{-- A live week strip: the arrows page by a week, the month label follows, and the pick posts an ISO date. --}}
<x-ui.mini-calendar name="day" value="2026-09-24" />
```
## Props
- `name` (string, default `mini-calendar`) — Hidden input name.
- `value` (string, default ``) — Selected ISO date.
- `start` (string, default ``) — First day shown; defaults to the week of value or today, aligned to firstDay.
- `days` (int, default `7`) — How many days to show (3-14).
- `locale` (mixed|null, default `null`) — Intl locale override.
- `firstDay` (int, default `1`) — First weekday alignment for the strip (0 = Sunday).
- `min` (mixed|null, default `null`) — ISO date lower bound; earlier days are disabled.
- `max` (mixed|null, default `null`) — ISO date upper bound; later days are disabled.
## Use when
- Use when date, time, or bounded-value context helps users enter valid values faster and with fewer errors.
- Embedding a compact, always-visible week strip for picking a nearby day, such as in a booking or scheduling widget.
- Wanting a smaller footprint than the full calendar month grid.
## Avoid when
- Do not force a picker when expert users can type the value faster and validation is straightforward.
- Needing a full month view or a range selection; use calendar or date-range-picker instead.
## Anti-patterns
- Forcing a picker when typing is faster
## Rules
- Use the `<brok:mini-calendar>` tag (or `<x-ui.mini-calendar>`) 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.

Slots
default— Not used by this component; present for attribute-bag compatibility.
Data slots
Stable hooks for CSS overrides and browser tests.
Behavior
- Renders a horizontal strip of days (weekday over day number) with prev/next arrows that page the strip by days; the month label and hidden ISO value update as a day is selected, and a change event is dispatched.
- Arrow keys move focus between days (RTL-aware), Enter/Space select; min/max bounds disable out-of-range days.
- Installs a JavaScript behavior module when the registry item includes resources/js/ui files.
- Declares registry capability flags: a11y, responsive, rtl, darkMode, localized, interactive.
Guidance
Choose a date, time, or bounded contextual value.
Use when
- Use when date, time, or bounded-value context helps users enter valid values faster and with fewer errors.
- Embedding a compact, always-visible week strip for picking a nearby day, such as in a booking or scheduling widget.
- Wanting a smaller footprint than the full calendar month grid.
Avoid when
- Do not force a picker when expert users can type the value faster and validation is straightforward.
- Needing a full month view or a range selection; use calendar or date-range-picker instead.
Use instead
- Direct typed entry with validation
Anti-patterns
- Forcing a picker when typing is faster
- Anatomy
- Theming hooks
Accessibility
- Keyboard
- Enter ArrowLeft ArrowRight Home End
- Focus
managed
- The strip is a role="radiogroup" of role="radio" day buttons with roving tabindex, and the header month label updates via aria-live="polite".
- Semantic HTML and a stable
data-slotattribute for styling and 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 in the preview.
- Labels go through
__()and layout uses logical properties (ms-*,text-start), so it mirrors underdir="rtl"— flip the preview to RTL to confirm. - Dark mode uses the same semantic tokens under the
darkclass; high contrast follows forced-color system tokens.
Livewire
Add a stable wire:key when Livewire can reorder this interactive component.
<div wire:key="mini-calendar-{{ $record->id }}">
{{-- A live week strip: the arrows page by a week, the month label follows, and the pick posts an ISO date. --}}
<x-ui.mini-calendar name="day" value="2026-09-24" />
</div>
Validation
Validation support: native. Keep the error message connected with aria-describedby.
<form wire:submit="save" class="space-y-2">
<brok:mini-calendar
wire:model="value"
:aria-invalid="$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>

- The arrows page by that many days and the month label follows the strip.
