+# Grid
+
+<div class="callout callout-alert">
+This package is still experimental. “Experimental” means this is an early implementation subject to drastic and breaking changes.
+</div>
+
+A collection of grid layout components for arranging tiles in
+dashboard-style surfaces.
+
+This package exposes two components, each implementing a different
+layout model:
+
+-   **`DashboardGrid`** is a 2D packed grid: tiles declare explicit
+    `(width, height)` spans in column/row units and can span multiple
+    columns and rows.
+-   **`DashboardLanes`** is a masonry-style surface aligned with the
+    emerging WebKit spec [`display: grid-lanes`](https://webkit.org/blog/17660/introducing-css-grid-lanes/).
+    Tiles declare a column span only; heights are driven by content;
+    placement follows a source-ordered, shortest-lane skyline with a
+    `flow-tolerance` tiebreaker.
+
+## Installation
+
+Install the module:
+
+```bash
+npm install @wordpress/grid --save
+```
+
+_This package assumes that your code will run in an **ES2015+** environment.
+If you're using an environment that has limited or no support for such
+language features and APIs, you should include [the polyfill shipped in
+`@wordpress/babel-preset-default`](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/tree/HEAD/packages/babel-preset-default#polyfill)
+in your code._
+
+## Setup
+
+Component styles are CSS Modules injected at runtime when a component
+mounts; there is no stylesheet to enqueue or import.
+
+Visual defaults (tile gap, elevation, motion, placeholder strokes)
+read the design tokens that `@wordpress/theme` publishes as
+`--wpds-*` CSS custom properties.
+
+### Within standard WordPress editor screens
+
+In standard WordPress editor screens (such as the post editor or the
+site editor), the design tokens stylesheet is managed centrally by
+Gutenberg. You don't need to add any setup yourself.
+
+### Elsewhere
+
+Install and load the design tokens stylesheet in your application:
+
+```bash
+npm install @wordpress/theme
+```
+
+```js
+import '@wordpress/theme/design-tokens.css';
+```
+
+Without the tokens the components stay functional, but gaps,
+elevations, and interaction visuals lose their intended values.
+Alternatively, define the `--wpds-*` custom properties the package
+consumes yourself.
+
+## Choosing a component
+
+| Need                                                  | Use                                               |
+| ----------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------- |
+| Fixed-cell tile dashboard, content fills its cell.    | `DashboardGrid`                                   |
+| Masonry / waterfall surface, content drives height.   | `DashboardLanes`                                  |
+| Static layout primitive (no per-item state, no drag). | `__experimentalGrid` from `@wordpress/components` |
+
+Both components here are higher-level: the user (not the developer)
+places and resizes tiles, and the result is emitted through
+`onChangeLayout`. For a static CSS Grid with no spans, drag, or
+per-item state, use `__experimentalGrid` from `@wordpress/components`.
+

+
+## `DashboardGrid`
+
+A 2D packed grid where each child has an explicit column and row
+span.
+
+### Usage
+
+```jsx
+import { DashboardGrid } from '@wordpress/grid';
+
+const layout = [
+	{ key: 'a', width: 2, height: 2 },
+	{ key: 'b', width: 4, height: 1 },
+	{ key: 'c', width: 'fill', height: 1 },
+	{ key: 'd', width: 'full', height: 1 },
+];
+
+function Dashboard() {
+	const [ current, setCurrent ] = useState( layout );
+
+	return (
+		<DashboardGrid
+			layout={ current }
+			columns={ 6 }
+			editMode
+			onChangeLayout={ setCurrent }
+		>
+			<div key="a">Tile A</div>
+			<div key="b">Tile B</div>
+			<div key="c">Tile C</div>
+			<div key="d">Tile D</div>
+		</DashboardGrid>
+	);
+}
+```
+
+Each child **must** have a `key` prop that matches an entry in the
+`layout` array. Children without a matching layout entry render at
+the end of the grid without explicit placement and fall through
+CSS Grid's auto-flow.
+
+### Layout model
+
+```ts
+interface DashboardGridLayoutItem {
+	key: string; // matches child key
+	width?: number | 'fill' | 'full'; // column span (see below)
+	height?: number; // rows to span
+	order?: number; // lower values render first (responsive mode)
+}
+```
+
+`width` is a discriminated value:
+
+-   `number`: span that many columns (clamped to the grid's column count).
+-   `'fill'`: fill the remaining columns in the current row.
+-   `'full'`: span every column (`grid-column: 1 / -1`), forcing a row break.
+
+`'fill'` is resolved per-row against the remaining free space.
+
+### Props
+
+| Prop                 | Type                                       | Default  | Description                                                                                                                                             |
+| -------------------- | ------------------------------------------ | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `layout`             | `DashboardGridLayoutItem[]`                | —        | Required. Positions and sizes keyed by child `key`.                                                                                                     |
+| `children`           | `ReactNode`                                | —        | Required. Each child needs a `key` matching a layout entry.                                                                                             |
+| `columns`            | `number`                                   | `6`      | Total columns (fixed mode).                                                                                                                             |
+| `minColumnWidth`     | `number`                                   | —        | If set, enables responsive mode: columns derived from container width. Mutually exclusive with `columns`.                                               |
+| `rowHeight`          | `number \| 'auto'`                         | `'auto'` | Row height in pixels, or `'auto'` to let content size rows.                                                                                             |
+| `editMode`           | `boolean`                                  | `false`  | Enables drag-to-reorder and resize handles.                                                                                                             |
+| `onChangeLayout`     | `( layout ) => void`                       | —        | Fired when the user commits a drag or resize.                                                                                                           |
+| `onPreviewLayout`    | `( layout ) => void`                       | —        | Fired continuously during a drag or resize with the in-progress layout. Use for live feedback; `onChangeLayout` still emits the committed result.       |
+| `renderResizeHandle` | `ComponentType< ResizeHandleRenderProps >` | —        | Override the default corner-triangle resize handle. See [Custom resize handle](#custom-resize-handle).                                                  |
+| `renderDragPreview`  | `ComponentType< DragPreviewRenderProps >`  | —        | Wrap the dragged-clone visual mounted inside `<DragOverlay>`. See [Custom drag preview](#custom-drag-preview).                                          |
+| `renderGridOverlay`  | `ComponentType< GridOverlayRenderProps >`  | —        | Override the default edit-mode overlay that visualizes the column and row tracks. Receives the resolved `columns`, `rows`, `rowHeight`, and `isActive`. |
+| `className`          | `string`                                   | —        | Extra class on the grid root.                                                                                                                           |
+| `style`              | `CSSProperties`                            | —        | Inline styles on the grid root; the grid's own layout styles win over them.                                                                             |
+
+`DashboardGrid` forwards refs to its root `<div>`, and standard
+`<div>` attributes (`id`, `aria-*`, `data-*`, event handlers,
+`style`, etc.) flow through. The grid's own layout styles
+(`gridTemplateColumns`, `gridAutoRows`) override any user-supplied
+`style` for those properties. Tile gap is owned by a design-system
+token; override it with `--wp-grid-gap` (see [Theming with CSS
+variables](#theming-with-css-variables)).
+
+#### Child-level props
+
+Children render with the layout entry that matches their `key`. An
+optional prop read off the child lets you keep controls interactive
+while edit mode is on:
+
+| Child prop       | Type        | Description                                                                                                                                     |
+| ---------------- | ----------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `actionableArea` | `ReactNode` | Content rendered above the draggable surface of the grid item. Useful for close buttons, menus, or links that must stay clickable in edit mode. |
+
+### Modes
+
+#### Fixed columns
+
+```jsx
+<DashboardGrid layout={ layout } columns={ 12 }>
+	{ children }
+</DashboardGrid>
+```
+
+#### Responsive
+
+Columns are computed from container width using `minColumnWidth` as
+the lower bound per column. A `ResizeObserver` recomputes on
+container resize.
+
+```jsx
+<DashboardGrid layout={ layout } minColumnWidth={ 240 }>
+	{ children }
+</DashboardGrid>
+```
+
+In responsive mode, layout items can provide an `order` to control
+display order independently of array position.
+
+#### Edit mode
+
+When `editMode` is true:
+
+-   Items become draggable (powered by `@dnd-kit`). The original tile
+    stays in place as a dashed placeholder while a clone follows the
+    cursor through `<DragOverlay>`.
+-   A resize handle appears on the bottom-right of each item. A
+    solid outline previews the target size as the cursor moves.
+-   While any tile is dragging or resizing, `actionableArea` content
+    on every tile is set `inert` so hovers on other tiles can't steal
+    the gesture.
+-   `onChangeLayout` fires after drop or resize with the new layout.
+-   `onPreviewLayout` fires continuously during the interaction for
+    live feedback; the committed layout is still emitted via
+    `onChangeLayout`.
+-   Sibling tiles animate into their new positions when the layout
+    reflows.
+
+---
+
+## `DashboardLanes`
+
+A masonry-style surface aligned with `display: grid-lanes`. Items
+declare a column span; heights are driven by content; placement
+follows a source-ordered, shortest-lane skyline with a
+`flow-tolerance` tiebreaker.
+
+The layout model and the placement algorithm are described in
+[Introducing CSS Grid Lanes](https://webkit.org/blog/17660/introducing-css-grid-lanes/)
+on the WebKit blog. This package implements the same model in
+JavaScript so it works today on browsers that do not yet support
+`display: grid-lanes` natively; the skyline + tolerance core is
+adapted from Simon Willison's
+[CSS Grid Lanes Polyfill](https://tools.simonwillison.net/grid-lanes-polyfill.js)
+(MIT). Once native support lands across browsers, the polyfill can
+be removed without any public API change.
+
+### Usage
+
+```jsx
+import { DashboardLanes } from '@wordpress/grid';
+
+const layout = [
+	{ key: 'a' },
+	{ key: 'hero', width: 2 },
+	{ key: 'b' },
+	{ key: 'c' },
+];
+
+function Pinboard() {
+	const [ current, setCurrent ] = useState( layout );
+
+	return (
+		<DashboardLanes
+			layout={ current }
+			columns={ 4 }
+			editMode
+			onChangeLayout={ setCurrent }
+		>
+			<Tile key="a">A</Tile>
+			<Tile key="hero">Hero (spans 2 lanes)</Tile>
+			<Tile key="b">B</Tile>
+			<Tile key="c">C</Tile>
+		</DashboardLanes>
+	);
+}
+```
+
+Each child **must** have a `key` prop that matches an entry in the
+`layout` array. Children without a matching layout entry render at
+the end of the surface without explicit placement and fall through
+the lanes auto-flow.
+
+### Layout model
+
+```ts
+interface DashboardLanesLayoutItem {
+	key: string; // matches child key
+	width?: number; // lanes to span (default 1)
+	lane?: number; // 0-indexed: pin to a specific lane
+	order?: number; // lower values render first
+}
+```
+
+There is no `height` field: lanes pack tiles vertically using each
+tile's intrinsic content height.
+
+There is no `'fill'`: with auto-placement, no item is "left over"
+in a row; the algorithm always finds a lane.
+
+`'full'` (span the entire surface width) is expressed by setting
+`width` to the lane count.
+
+To anchor a tile to a specific column, set `lane` to its 0-indexed
+position. Pinned tiles are placed before auto-placed ones, so auto
+items flow around them; out-of-range values (negative, or beyond
+`columns - width`) are clamped.
+
+### Props
+
+| Prop                 | Type                                       | Default | Description                                                                                                                                                                                             |

+| `layout`             | `DashboardLanesLayoutItem[]`               | —       | Required. Span and order keyed by child `key`.                                                                                                                                                          |
+| `children`           | `ReactNode`                                | —       | Required. Each child needs a `key` matching a layout entry.                                                                                                                                             |
+| `columns`            | `number`                                   | `6`     | Total lanes (fixed mode).                                                                                                                                                                               |
+| `minColumnWidth`     | `number`                                   | —       | If set, enables responsive mode: lane count derived from container width. Mutually exclusive with `columns`.                                                                                            |
+| `flowTolerance`      | `number`                                   | `16`    | Pixel tolerance for source-order tiebreaking when two candidate lanes have similar baselines. Larger values keep tiles closer to reading order at the cost of bigger empty regions.                     |
+| `rowUnit`            | `number`                                   | `4`     | Snap unit for the polyfill's `grid-row-start` math. Smaller values produce sharper placement at the cost of a larger implicit row count. Ignored on browsers with native `display: grid-lanes` support. |
+| `editMode`           | `boolean`                                  | `false` | Enables drag-to-reorder and horizontal resize.                                                                                                                                                          |

+| `renderResizeHandle` | `ComponentType< ResizeHandleRenderProps >` | —       | Override the default side-grip resize handle. See [Custom resize handle](#custom-resize-handle).                                                                                                        |
+| `renderDragPreview`  | `ComponentType< DragPreviewRenderProps >`  | —       | Wrap the dragged-clone visual mounted inside `<DragOverlay>`. See [Custom drag preview](#custom-drag-preview).                                                                                          |

+
+### Native vs polyfill
+
+`DashboardLanes` checks `CSS.supports( 'display', 'grid-lanes' )`
+once at mount.
+
+-   When supported (Safari 26+, others as the spec ships), the
+    component emits `display: grid-lanes` and the spec's CSS, and lets
+    the engine handle layout. The placement layer mounts no per-tile
+    observers; the only `ResizeObserver` left is the container-width
+    one used for responsive mode and resize-step math.
+-   When unsupported, an internal hook (`useLanePlacement`) measures
+    each tile's height with a `ResizeObserver`, runs the source-ordered
+    shortest-lane algorithm, and emits explicit `grid-column-start`
+    and `grid-row-start` / `grid-row-end: span N` values on each tile.
+
+The same DOM contract is preserved in both paths; the visual is the
+same.
+
+### Edit mode
+
+Drag-to-reorder works the same as in `DashboardGrid`. Resize is
+**horizontal-only**: tile heights are content-driven, so there is
+no vertical resize gesture. The default handle is a vertical bar
+centered on the trailing edge; the cursor is `ew-resize`.
+
+Sibling tiles animate into their new positions when the layout
+reflows.
+
+---
+
+## Shared topics
+
+### Performance
+
+`onPreviewLayout` re-renders the parent on every gesture frame. To
+keep the components' internal children walk from re-running each
+frame, **memoize the children array** when its content is stable:
+
+```jsx
+const tiles = useMemo(
+	() => layout.map( ( item ) => <Tile key={ item.key }>...</Tile> ),
+	[ layout ]
+);
+
+return (
+	<DashboardLanes layout={ layout } editMode onPreviewLayout={ ... }>
+		{ tiles }
+	</DashboardLanes>
+);
+```
+
+Without it the surface still works but walks the children on every
+preview update; the overhead is minor up to ~50 tiles and grows
+from there. For `DashboardLanes`, placement runs in a
+`useLayoutEffect` throttled to one frame per measurement burst.
+
+### Accessibility
+
+Drag-to-reorder is operable from the keyboard via `@dnd-kit`'s
+keyboard sensor:
+
+-   `Tab` to focus a tile.
+-   `Space` to pick it up.
+-   Arrow keys to move it between positions.
+-   `Space` to drop, or `Escape` to cancel.
+
+Resize handles are currently pointer-only.
+
+### Custom resize handle
+
+Both components accept a `renderResizeHandle` prop to override the
+default visual. The surface owns the resize math (column/row
+stepping, throttled delta loop, layout commit) and passes the
+gesture wiring (`ref`, `listeners`, `attributes`) as props for the
+consumer to spread on the element that should receive pointer
+events. The dnd-kit `<DndContext>` for the resize gesture is
+internal to the handle wrapper; consumers do not need to mount
+their own.
+
+```jsx
+import { Icon } from '@wordpress/ui';
+import { resizeCornerNE } from '@wordpress/icons';
+
+function CustomResizeHandle( {
+	ref,
+	listeners,
+	attributes,
+	verticalResizable,
+} ) {
+	return (
+		<div
+			ref={ ref }
+			{ ...listeners }
+			{ ...attributes }
+			style={ {
+				position: 'absolute',
+				bottom: 4,
+				insetInlineEnd: 4,
+				cursor: verticalResizable ? 'nwse-resize' : 'ew-resize',
+			} }
+		>
+			<Icon icon={ resizeCornerNE } size={ 16 } />
+		</div>
+	);
+}
+
+<DashboardGrid
+	layout={ layout }
+	editMode
+	renderResizeHandle={ CustomResizeHandle }
+>
+	{ tiles }
+</DashboardGrid>;
+```
+
+The component receives:
+
+| Prop                | Type                                | Description                                                                                                           |
+| ------------------- | ----------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `ref`               | `( node ) => void`                  | dnd-kit ref; assign on the gesture-bearing element.                                                                   |
+| `listeners`         | `SyntheticListenerMap \| undefined` | Pointer/keyboard listeners; spread on the same element.                                                               |
+| `attributes`        | `DraggableAttributes`               | Accessibility/dnd-kit attributes; spread alongside `listeners`.                                                       |
+| `verticalResizable` | `boolean`                           | False on `DashboardLanes` and on `DashboardGrid` with `rowHeight: 'auto'`. Useful for adapting cursor or visual cue.  |
+| `isResizing`        | `boolean`                           | True while the user is actively dragging this handle. Use it to swap colors, icons, or transforms during the gesture. |
+| `itemId`            | `string`                            | Owning tile's `key`.                                                                                                  |
+
+The handle is only mounted while the surface is in edit mode
+(`editMode={ true }`), so the custom component never has to
+short-circuit on a disabled state.
+
+### Custom drag preview
+
+While a tile is being dragged, dnd-kit clones it into a `<DragOverlay>`
+that follows the cursor. Both surfaces wrap that clone with a thin
+**functional frame** (`scale`, `cursor: grabbing`, `pointer-events:
+none`) that advertises the lift, but they do not impose visual
+chrome on top: any styles the consumer applied to the tile children
+carry through to the dragged clone unchanged.
+
+When the dragged state should look structurally different from the
+persistent tile (a stronger shadow, a different border, an extra
+badge…), pass a `renderDragPreview` component. The surface mounts
+it inside the functional frame and supplies the cloned children
+plus the active tile's `key`:
+
+```jsx
+import { DashboardGrid } from '@wordpress/grid';
+import type { DragPreviewRenderProps } from '@wordpress/grid';
+
+function DragPreview( { children }: DragPreviewRenderProps ) {
+	return (
+		<div className="my-tile-while-dragging">
+			{ children }
+		</div>
+	);
+}
+
+<DashboardGrid
+	layout={ layout }
+	editMode
+	renderDragPreview={ DragPreview }
+>
+	{ tiles }
+</DashboardGrid>;
+```
+
+The component receives:
+
+| Prop       | Type        | Description                                                                                                                 |
+| ---------- | ----------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `children` | `ReactNode` | The cloned tile content the surface mounts inside `<DragOverlay>`. Place it where the visual wrapper expects the tile body. |
+| `itemId`   | `string`    | Owning tile's `key`. Useful when chrome varies by tile.                                                                     |
+
+For token-only tweaks (lift scale, placeholder opacity, outline
+color, placeholder radius), prefer the [CSS variables](#theming-with-css-variables)
+below; reach for `renderDragPreview` only when the dragged state
+needs markup the persistent tile does not have.
+
+### Theming with CSS variables
+
+Both surfaces expose a small set of CSS custom properties for
+visuals that need to flex between consumers without writing a render
+prop. Override them on any ancestor of the surface root (or on the
+root itself via `style`). All values fall back to sensible defaults.
+
+| Variable                                 | Default                                             | Applies to                                                                                                            |
+| ---------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `--wp-grid-gap`                          | `var(--wpds-dimension-gap-xl)`                      | Gap between tiles on `DashboardGrid`, `DashboardLanes`, and the edit overlay.                                         |
+| `--wp-grid-drag-preview-scale`           | `1.05`                                              | Lift scale of the drag-preview functional frame. Set to `1` to disable the lift.                                      |
+| `--wp-grid-drag-preview-radius`          | `0`                                                 | Border radius of the drag-preview functional frame so the lift shadow follows the consumer's tile shape.              |
+| `--wp-grid-placeholder-opacity`          | `0.4`                                               | Opacity of the placeholder tile (the original item while a drag is in flight).                                        |
+| `--wp-grid-placeholder-outline-style`    | `dashed`                                            | Outline style of the drag placeholder (for example `solid` or `dotted`).                                              |
+| `--wp-grid-resize-preview-outline-style` | `solid`                                             | Border style of the resize-preview overlay (for example `dashed` or `dotted`).                                        |
+| `--wp-grid-placeholder-outline-color`    | `var(--wpds-color-stroke-interactive-brand)`        | Outline color of the placeholder and of the resize-preview overlay.                                                   |
+| `--wp-grid-placeholder-radius`           | `0`                                                 | Border radius of the placeholder, used to match the consumer's tile shape so the outline traces the right silhouette. |
+| `--wp-grid-overlay-tile-bg`              | `var(--wpds-color-background-surface-neutral-weak)` | Background of the marker tiles painted by the default edit-mode overlay.                                              |
