Swappable Grid

A grid whose tiles exchange positions on drag (drop one onto another to swap), built natively in Alpine — keyboard-operable with a live-region announcement.

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 swappable-grid

Behavior layer (Alpine)

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

resources/js/ui/index.js JS
import './swappable-grid.js';

php artisan ui:add swappable-grid writes only the generated targets below. The CLI validates each file hash before writing and prompts before replacing local changes unless --force is used.

Guidance

Card-based organization

Organize browsable objects into scannable units.

Use when

  • Use to group related content into scannable units for browsing, prioritization, or rearrangement. Do not use card-like structures when dense row-by-row comparison would be clearer in a list or table.

Avoid when

  • Avoid using swappable-grid 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.

Preferred alternatives

  • Table for exact comparison

Anti-patterns

  • Turning every object into a card

API

manifest knowledge + registry-derived coverage

Props

Prop Type / values Default Description
items array [] Declared by @props in the registry Blade source.
columns int 3 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

swappable-grid swappable-grid-item

Capabilities

wcag-2.2-aa-target responsive rtl darkMode localized interactive reducedMotion

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, responsive, rtl, darkMode, localized, interactive, reducedMotion.

Usage

previews.components.swappable-grid.default.blade.php Blade
<x-ui.swappable-grid class="mx-auto w-full max-w-lg" :columns="3" />

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.
