Preview

Article List Grid — live renderblocks-articlelistgrid--default

Rendered from the story the storybook (a11y) CI gate runs axe against — the preview can't show something that hasn't been verified.

Install

Two equivalent paths — the URL works in any shadcn-CLI setup; the alias works once you've registered @interlace in your components.json.

Via shadcn URL
npx shadcn@latest add https://ds.interlace.tools/r/article-list-grid.json
With the @interlace alias
npx shadcn@latest add @interlace/article-list-grid

History

This component is at v1.1.0, first shipped in @interlace/ui 1.0.0. The version is stamped as a banner into the file the install writes, so the copy in your tree says which one you have — compare it with the number above before deciding whether to re-run the install.

No release note names this component yet. It shipped with the release above and has not changed since — see the full changelog for what moved elsewhere in the DS.

Import

2 named exports — pull the parts you need.

Public API
import { ArticleListGrid, MIN_VIEWPORT } from '@/components/ui/patterns/article-list-grid';

Anatomy

Extracted from the primitive's JSDoc header. The source is the only documentation that can't drift.

<section data-slot="article-list-grid" data-min-viewport="320">
    <Container>
      {featured && <ArticleCard variant="overlay" priority />}
      <Grid cols={3}>{posts.map(<ArticleCard />)}</Grid>
    </Container>
  </section>

API reference

Parsed from the type declarations in the source — the same file the install writes into your tree, so this table can't drift from the component you get.

ArticleCardProps

Also accepts every <section> attribute.

ArticleListGridProps

Also accepts every <section> attribute.

PropTypeDescription
titleReact.ReactNode
leadReact.ReactNode
featuredArticleCardPropsOptional featured article (renders as a hero card above the grid).
postsArticleCardProps[]Regular tiles.
cols2 | 3 | 4
loadingboolean
loadingCountnumber
emptyStateReact.ReactNodeCustom empty state. Defaults to a small muted line.

Skeleton

Pass loading and the component renders a shape-matched <Skeleton /> in its own place — same box, so nothing reflows when the data lands. Below is the same story with loading={true}.

Usage
<ArticleListGrid loading={isPending} />

Accessibility

Every story for this component is rendered headlessly and checked with axe-core (wcag2aa, wcag22aa, best-practice, ACT) on every PR. That gate has no continue-on-error, so what ships has zero known violations.

What follows is what static analysis can see. Axe cannot press a key and never sees an overlay open, so the operable-without-a-mouse claim lives in Behavior instead, where the keyboard path is replayed step by step.

Focus + keyboard behaviour
Native element semantics — no interaction layer to get wrong.
Focus ring (WCAG 2.2 SC 2.4.13)
Not focusable — no focus indicator required.
Reduced motion
No animation to gate.
ARIA in the source
None — semantics come from the element or the Base UI primitive rather than hand-written ARIA.

Examples

7 more states from the same story file.

R-rule compliance

Every primitive in @interlace/ui models to the portable 26-rule floor enforced by the componentApi ESLint preset. The cells below pin exactly where each rule applies in this file.

RuleConceptWhere
R4Extends native el`React.ComponentProps<'section'>` + props
R6data-slot on root`data-slot="article-list-grid"`
R10Composition seam`featured` + `posts` arrays of ArticleCard props
R14Declares min viewport`data-min-viewport={String(MIN_VIEWPORT)}` + exported const
R18Tailwind onlyZero inline `style`
R25Server componentNo hooks
R26A11y`<section>` landmark

Minimum viewport

This primitive declares MIN_VIEWPORT = 320 CSS px (DESIGN_PRINCIPLES #14). When mounted in a container narrower than this, the preflight contract draws a dev-mode outline so the regression is visible during local development.

Opt-in to the dev-mode warning
<body data-interlace-dev>...</body>

Add the data-interlace-dev attribute to the body in development builds only — preflight then outlines any primitive whose container is below its declared data-min-viewport.
