Attache <mv-attache>
Éditeur de rangement sur grille qui tient compte des formes : chaque enfant occupe w × h cellules d’une grille fixe (widgets de tableau de bord, autocollants sur une planche d’impression, cartons sur une étagère, tables dans une salle) et la grille montre d’un coup d’œil ce qui rentre et ce qui ne rentre pas. Faire glisser un élément projette son empreinte sur la grille cellule par cellule : cellules nettes là où il rentre, cellules hachurées et cernées là où il chevauche quelque chose ou déborde, plus une étiquette qui le dit en toutes lettres (« Rentre · col 3, ligne 1 », « Chevauche Support queue »), et les éléments gênants sont cernés. R, un clic droit ou un deuxième doigt fait pivoter l’élément en plein glissement (w et h s’échangent, le point de saisie tourne avec lui) ; un dépôt refusé repart à sa place. Le rangement automatique place tout autour des éléments verrouillés avec un algorithme first-fit-decreasing déterministe (plusieurs ordres de tri, rotation autorisée, meilleur résultat conservé) ; ce qui ne rentre pas attend dans un bac de débordement (« 2 éléments ne rentrent pas ») où chaque élément indique s’il y a de la place pour lui à cet instant, et un double clic le place. Entièrement utilisable au clavier ; la disposition est exposée sous forme de données (propriété layout, mv-layout-change, mv-drop annulable), les éléments verrouillés restent en place, les cellules s’adaptent à la largeur de l’élément, et packLayout() est exportée comme fonction pure pour calculer les dispositions côté serveur.

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)

</div>Référence culturelle
Resident Evil 4, Capcom (réalisé par Shinji Mikami) (2005, jeu vidéo). L’inventaire de la mallette est une grille fixe où chaque objet a une forme qui occupe des cases ; on les fait pivoter et on les range pour que tout tienne, en voyant d’un coup d’œil ce qui rentre et ce qui ne rentre pas. Ici, n’importe quel ensemble d’éléments de tailles différentes (widgets, autocollants, cartons) est rangé sur une grille fixe, avec une empreinte en direct qui montre l’ajustement ou la collision cellule par cellule, une rotation en plein glissement, un rangement automatique en un clic et un bac pour ce qui ne rentre pas.
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

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.
