Physics Stack `<mv-physics-stack>`

Une liste dont les éléments sont des corps rigides empilés dans une boîte : attrapez une carte par un coin (elle pivote autour du point de saisie), lancez-la, la pile retombe sous l’effet de la gravité et l’ordre du DOM suit l’ordre visuel. Moteur physique maison (boîtes orientées, frottement, rebond), sans dépendance.

Catégorie	Micro-interactions
Type	Web Component (`<mv-physics-stack>`)
Statut	bêta
Keywords	physics, rigid-body, todo, list, reorder, drag, toss, gravity, tactile

When to use

A short to-do or idea list should feel tactile, with cards users can grab, toss and let fall into place
A playful demo or portfolio section should let visitors reorder items by throwing them around

Avoid when

Items must be reordered precisely across columns or statuses → use Kanban instead
Items are records with several fields to compare; a physics pile suits a handful of short cards, not dozens → use Table instead
Notifications should pile up physically in a corner tray → use Toast Physics instead

API

Attributes

Name	Type	Default	Description
`label`	string		Accessible name of the list.
`gravity`	number	`1`	Gravity multiplier (1 ≈ 2400 px/s²).
`friction`	number	`0.6`	Friction between cards (0 = soap, 1 = rubber).
`bounce`	number	`0.12`	Bounce on impact (0-1).
`gap`	number	`6`	Space between cards when the pile is tidied (px).

Properties

Name	Type	Description
`items`	Element[]	List items, in DOM order (= visual order once settled).

Methods

Name	Description
`arrange()`	Tidies the pile into a straight tower, in DOM order (smooth transition).
`toss(item)`	Spins the item out of the box, then removes it from the DOM; the cards above fall into the gap.
`shake(strength = 1)`	Gives every card a shake.

Events

Name	Description
`mv-reorder`	detail: { order, item }. The visual order changed (toss, Alt + arrows).
`mv-settle`	detail: { order }. The pile is at rest (the animation loop stops).
`mv-toss`	detail: { item }. An item was tossed out by toss().

Content structure

Name	Description
`(children)`	Each direct child becomes a card (mv-physics-stack-item class, role listitem). Adding or removing children is picked up: a new child drops in from the top.

CSS classes

Name	Description
`mv-physics-stack-item`	Set on each child; default card style, overridable.

CSS variables

Name	Default	Description
`--mv-physics-stack-height`	`22rem`	Box height.
`--mv-physics-stack-item-width`	`min(19rem, 88%)`	Card width.
`--mv-physics-stack-bg`	`var(--mv-bg-subtle)`	Box background.

Accessibility

role=list / listitem, each card is focusable. ↑/↓ move focus, Alt + ↑/↓ move the card (announced in a live region). The DOM is reordered to match the visual order and focus is preserved. Inner controls (buttons, links, fields) stay clickable and don’t start a grab. Reduced motion: the pile settles instantly, without animation. Without JS: a regular vertical list.
