# Brok UI: Tray (`tray`)
A tinted outer frame with a header row (icon, title, end action) around a raised inner well for KPI tiles, chart panels and short lists.
Brok UI is a Laravel Blade component registry. Installed components are plain Blade files the app owns.
## Install
```bash
php artisan ui:add tray

## Props
- `as` (string, default `div`) — Element the frame renders as: div, section, or article.
- `title` (string|null, default `null`) — Header title, shown small/medium/muted above the well.
- `headingLevel` (string|null, default `null`) — h2..h6 — promotes the title to a real heading element. Left null it stays a plain label.
- `actionLabel` (string|null, default `null`) — Convenience end-action link text (e.g. 'View all'), paired with actionHref. The action slot wins when both are supplied.
- `actionHref` (string|null, default `null`) — Href for the actionLabel convenience link.
- `padding` (none|sm|md|lg, default `md`) — The well's inner padding. none lets the slot's own content (a table, a chart) own the inset.
## Use when
- Use when self-contained content objects benefit from a recognizable card-like presentation with local actions or metadata.
- Grouping a KPI tile, chart, or short list inside a tinted frame with a small header (icon, title, and an optional 'View all' action) — the dashboard panel pattern.
- Giving a raised, bordered well its own frame so several trays read as one system across a grid of tiles and wider panels.
## Avoid when
- Do not use card widgets where a simpler list, table, or plain text block would make comparison faster.
- A single flat surface with no header is enough; use card instead.
- The list itself needs the card chrome and rows, with no outer frame or well; use list-panel instead.
## Anti-patterns
- Using cards for dense cross-item comparison
## Rules
- Use the `<brok:tray>` tag (or `<x-ui.tray>`) 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.

Examples
Long Content
{{-- A long title and action truncate in the header; long well content wraps
instead of overflowing the frame. --}}
<div class="w-64">
<x-ui.tray
:title="__('Quarterly recurring revenue by region and channel')"
:action-label="__('View the full breakdown')"
action-href="#"
>
<p class="text-sm text-muted-foreground">
{{ __('A deliberately long example that verifies wrapping, overflow, and content expansion without clipping important information.') }}
</p>
</x-ui.tray>
</div>
API
Props
| Prop | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| as | string | div | Element the frame renders as: div, section, or article. |
| title | string | null | null | Header title, shown small/medium/muted above the well. |
| headingLevel | string | null | null | h2..h6 — promotes the title to a real heading element. Left null it stays a plain label. |
| actionLabel | string | null | null | Convenience end-action link text (e.g. 'View all'), paired with actionHref. The action slot wins when both are supplied. |
| actionHref | string | null | null | Href for the actionLabel convenience link. |
| padding | none | sm | md | lg | md | The well's inner padding. none lets the slot's own content (a table, a chart) own the inset. |
Slots
default— The well's content — a stat tile, a chart, a list.icon— Optional leading icon shown before the title in the header row.action— Optional header end-action content (typically a link). Overrides actionLabel/actionHref when present.footer— Optional strip under the well, inside the frame (e.g. a 'Connect apps' prompt).
Renders as div, section, article.
Data slots
Stable hooks for CSS overrides and browser tests.
Behavior
- Static Blade — no JS. The frame never combines a padding utility with its rounded-lg radius; an inner unrounded wrapper owns the 8px inset instead.
- Declares registry capability flags: a11y, authoredStateFixtures, responsive, rtl, darkMode, localized.
Guidance
Present a self-contained content object with local context.
Use when

Use instead
- List for compact scanning
- Table for exact comparison
Anti-patterns
- Using cards for dense cross-item comparison
- Anatomy
- Theming hooks
Accessibility
- Keyboard
- native
- Focus
native
- The title is a plain label by default so several trays on one page do not fragment the document's heading outline; pass headingLevel to opt a tray into being a real landmark heading.
- Meet the WCAG 2.2 AA target declared in meta.a11y.
- 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
Livewire can update this component through forwarded wire:* attributes.

// anything richer than a single link; when both are supplied the slot wins.

{{--
Tray — the "framed card" pattern: a muted, tinted outer frame holding an
optional header row (icon + title + end action) above a raised inner
"well" (bg-card, hairline border, subtle shadow) that carries the default
slot content, and an optional footer strip under the well. Built for KPI
tiles (`<x-ui.stat variant="plain">` in the well), chart panels, and short
lists — anything that reads as "one tinted card, one raised panel inside
it" rather than a single flat card.
The frame itself never carries a padding utility alongside `rounded-lg` —
an inner, unrounded wrapper owns the 8px inset instead — so the frame
stays the 16px surface tier without tripping the surface/inset pairing
guard. The well sits one radius tier down (`rounded-md`), per the design
grid's "control radius when nested inside a surface" rule.
