Speed Dial
A floating action button that expands a stack of contextual actions with animated transitions.
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 speed-dial
Behavior layer (Alpine)
This component installs a self-registering Alpine module to
resources/js/ui/speed-dial.js. Import the behavior layer once
from your bundle so it loads (it hooks alpine:init):
import './speed-dial.js';

Guidance
Secondary action menuProvide compact access to secondary actions.
Use when
- Use for secondary actions when compact access is more important than constant visibility. Do not hide the most frequent or highest-value actions in a menu when discoverability matters.
Avoid when
- Avoid using speed-dial 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
- micro
- Interaction cost
- medium
- Interruptiveness
- none
- Input precision
- none
- Mobile / touch risk
- medium
- Accessibility risk
- high
- Needs background context
- Yes
- Comparison needed
- No
Preferred alternatives
- Visible button for frequent actions
- Inline action bar
Anti-patterns
- Hiding primary actions in menus

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.
