Attache — `<mv-attache>`

Shape-aware grid packing editor: every child occupies w × h cells of a fixed grid (dashboard widgets, stickers on a print sheet, boxes on a shelf, tables in a room) and the grid shows at a glance what fits and what doesn't. Dragging an item lays its footprint on the grid cell by cell: clean cells where it fits, hatched and outlined cells where it overlaps something or sticks out of bounds, plus a tag that says so in words (“Fits · col 3, row 1”, “Overlaps Support queue”), and the items in the way are outlined. R, a right click or a second finger rotates the item mid-drag (w and h swap, the grab point turns with it); a refused drop flies back home. Auto-arrange packs everything around the locked items with a deterministic first-fit-decreasing packer (several sort orders, rotation allowed, best result kept); whatever cannot fit waits in an overflow tray (“2 items don't fit”) where each item says whether there is room for it right now, and a double click places it. Fully keyboard operable, the layout is exposed as data (layout property, mv-layout-change, cancelable mv-drop), locked items stay put, cells scale with the element's width, and packLayout() is exported as a pure function for server-side layouts.

When to use

Users arrange dashboard widgets of different sizes on a fixed grid and must see what fits before they drop
A print sheet, label run or storage slot plan must use a fixed number of cells as fully as possible
Some items are pinned by an admin and the rest must be repacked around them in one click
The app must know, and be able to veto, every placement as structured data (x, y, w, h, rotated)

Avoid when

The layout is fixed by the designer and users never rearrange it → use Bento Grid instead
Items move between workflow stages in ordered lists rather than occupying 2D cells → use Kanban instead
Items are freely positioned at any pixel, rotated at any angle or overlap on purpose (a whiteboard, a free canvas)

Cultural reference

Resident Evil 4 — Capcom (directed by Shinji Mikami) (2005, game). The attaché case inventory is a fixed grid where every item has a shape that occupies cells, and you rotate and arrange them to make everything fit, seeing at a glance what fits and what doesn't. Here any set of differently sized items (widgets, stickers, boxes) is packed on a fixed grid with a live footprint that shows fit or collision cell by cell, mid-drag rotation, one-click auto-packing and a tray for what doesn't fit.

API

Attributes

Name	Type	Default	Description
`cols`	number (1–64)	`8`	Number of columns. Changing it (or rows) keeps every item that still fits, moves the others to the first free spot and sends the rest to the tray (mv-layout-change with reason "resize").
`rows`	number (1–64)	`4`	Number of rows. The grid never grows: capacity is the point.
`label`	string	`Layout`	Accessible name of the grid (“Dashboard layout, 8 columns by 4 rows”).
`no-rotate`	boolean		Disables rotation everywhere (dragging, keyboard, auto-arrange, room check in the tray).
`disabled`	boolean		View mode: the layout is shown as is, nothing can be picked up, items leave the tab order and the empty cells fade out.
`bar`	"true" \| "false"	`true`	"false" hides the status bar (usage meter and the built-in Auto-arrange button); call autoArrange() from your own control.
`data-w / data-h`	number (cells)	`1`	On an item: its current footprint. Kept up to date by the component (swapped on rotation), so [data-w="1"] or [data-attache-orient="portrait"] can adapt its content. Changing them from the app re-validates the item.
`data-x / data-y`	number (0-based)		On an item: initial position. Items without one, or whose spot is taken, go to the first free spot without rotation, else to the tray. Reflected while the item is on the grid, removed while it is in the tray.
`data-id`	string		On an item: id used in layout and events (else the element id, else item-N).
`data-label`	string		On an item: name used in announcements (else the first heading, strong or [data-attache-title], else its text).
`data-locked`	boolean		On an item: cannot be dragged, set aside or moved by Auto-arrange (the others are packed around it). Shows a padlock.
`data-rotatable`	"false"		On an item: never rotated (a chart that must stay landscape, a round sticker).
`data-rotated`	boolean		On an item: set by the component when its footprint is swapped relative to its natural orientation.
`data-attache-handle`	marker		On an element inside an item: only this handle starts a drag. Without one, the whole item drags except links, buttons, fields and [data-attache-nodrag].
`data-attache-orient / data-attache-state / data-attache-room`	set by the component		Items get landscape \| portrait \| square, picked (pointer drag origin) \| grabbed (keyboard), and yes \| no in the tray. The host gets data-dragging while something is being placed and data-overflow while an item has no room.

Properties

Name	Type	Description
`layout`	Array<{ id, x, y, w, h, rotated, locked }>	Current layout in reading order, tray items last with x and y null. Set it to restore a saved layout: listed items go where you say if it is free, unlisted ones keep their spot or take the first free one, the rest go to the tray. Setting it does not emit mv-layout-change. Can be set before the element is defined.
`overflow`	string[]	Ids of the items waiting in the tray (read-only).
`strings`	Partial<Record<string, string>>	Overrides for every visible text and announcement (grid, help, item, itemTray, arrange, usage, trayAll, trayAllOne, traySome, trayDrop, fits, overlaps, out, picked, moved, rotated, dropped, returned, vetoed, cancelled, setAside, arranged…). English defaults, {placeholders} filled in.
`cols / rows / label / noRotate / disabled / bar`	reflected	Mirror the attributes.

Methods

Name	Description
`autoArrange({ rotate? })`	Packs every unlocked item (rotation follows no-rotate unless given). Items glide to their new spot. Returns { placed, overflow }. Emits mv-layout-change with reason "arrange".
`fits(item, x, y, { rotated? })`	Would this item (element or id) fit there? Returns { fits, out, blockers: [id] }.
`moveItem(item, x, y, { rotated? })`	Moves an item from code (no mv-drop). Returns false if it does not fit or is locked.
`setAside(item)`	Sends an item to the tray (no mv-drop). Returns false if it is locked or already there.
`refresh()`	Re-reads the items. Rarely needed: added and removed children and changes of data-w, data-h, data-locked, data-label or data-rotatable are picked up automatically.
`packLayout(items, { cols, rows, rotate }) (named export)`	The packer as a pure function, without DOM: items [{ id, w, h, x?, y?, locked?, rotatable?, rotated? }] → { layout, overflow }. Deterministic, so it can run on the server or in a worker.

Events

Name	Description
`mv-drop`	Cancelable, before a user placement is committed (pointer, keyboard or double click in the tray). detail: { id, item, from, to, source: "pointer" \| "keyboard", layout (the layout if accepted) }; from and to are { tray, x, y, w, h, rotated }. preventDefault() refuses it: the item goes back and “Move refused” is announced.
`mv-layout-change`	After every committed change. detail: { layout, overflow, reason: "drop" \| "tray" \| "arrange" \| "api" \| "resize" \| "dom" }. Save the layout here.

Content structure

Name	Description
`(content)`	The items, as direct children with data-w / data-h. They are moved into the grid (.mv-attache-board) or the tray, and sorted in reading order; render them once and drive later changes through layout or DOM additions and removals. The floating copy used while dragging is a clone appended to the element, so style items with a class, not through .mv-attache-board.

CSS classes

Name	Description
`mv-attache-item`	Added to every item: a zero-specificity tile (border, radius, raised surface) you can restyle freely. .mv-attache-proxy is the floating clone while dragging.
`mv-attache-board / -cells / -cell`	The grid and its decorative empty cells (aria-hidden).
`mv-attache-ghost`	Footprint preview (aria-hidden): .mv-attache-ghost-cell[data-cell="fit \| blocked \| out"] and .mv-attache-ghost-tag (icon, verdict, position). data-state="fit \| blocked \| out".
`mv-attache-bar`	Status bar: .mv-attache-meter / -meter-fill, .mv-attache-usage and the .mv-attache-arrange button (.mv-button).
`mv-attache-tray`	Overflow tray: .mv-attache-tray-head (-icon, -text), .mv-attache-tray-items, .mv-attache-tray-empty. data-state="empty \| aside \| overflow", data-over while a drag hovers it.

CSS variables

Name	Default	Description
`--mv-attache-ratio`	`1`	Row height as a fraction of the column width (0.6 for dashboard tiles, 1 for square cells).
`--mv-attache-gap`	`var(--mv-space-2)`	Gap between cells.
`--mv-attache-padding`	`var(--mv-space-2)`	Inner padding of the grid and the tray.
`--mv-attache-fit`	`var(--mv-success)`	Color of cells where the item fits.
`--mv-attache-blocked`	`var(--mv-danger)`	Color of hatched cells (overlap, out of bounds) and of items in the way.
`--mv-attache-board`	`var(--mv-bg-subtle)`	Grid background.
`--mv-attache-meter`	`var(--mv-accent)`	Usage meter fill.

Accessibility

The grid is a labelled group (“Dashboard layout, 8 columns by 4 rows”), not role="grid" or "application": items span several cells, so cell-by-cell grid navigation would misrepresent them, and application mode would take browse mode away from the widgets' own content. Instead every item is a focusable group with aria-roledescription “movable tile” whose name states its size and position (“Revenue chart, 2 by 2, at column 3 row 1”, “…, set aside, room available”, “…, locked”), described by the instructions; items are kept in DOM reading order (rows, then columns) after every change so Tab follows the visual order, and focus is preserved when they move (moveBefore where supported). Keyboard: Space or Enter picks up (a set-aside item starts at the first spot where it fits), arrow keys move the footprint one cell (Shift: by the item's own size), R rotates, Space or Enter drops, Escape or Tab cancels, Delete or Backspace sets the item aside; each step is announced assertively (“Column 4, row 2. Overlaps Map.”), and a blocked drop is refused with its reason while the item stays picked up. Pointer drops, refusals, vetoes and Auto-arrange results (“Arranged 11 items. Everything fits.”) are announced politely. The footprint verdict never relies on color: blocked and out-of-bounds cells are hatched and outlined dashed, the tag names the verdict and the blocking items, and items in the way are outlined; the tray's “Fits / No room” chips are words too. Links, buttons and fields inside an item keep working and never start a drag. Touch: drag with one finger, tap with a second to rotate. Reduced motion (OS or data-motion="reduce"): no glide, landing, fly-back, settle ring or rotation wiggle; positions change instantly. Forced colors: fit cells are outlined in Highlight, blocked ones dashed in CanvasText, icons use CanvasText.
