View composer

Pro

Describe a view and watch it assemble. Reasoning steps appear as they finish, placeholders hold the layout, then each tile fills in. A follow-up reshapes what is there instead of starting over: tiles that stay glide to their new place and their figures run to the new values.

    Use it for

    Accessibility #

    It exposes img and status semantics, with aria-label, aria-hidden, aria-current and aria-busy kept in step with state. Changes that matter are announced through a live region.

    No custom key handling; Tab and the native activation keys do the work.

    Motion #

    It checks prefers-reduced-motion itself and settles immediately instead of travelling. Every state is still reachable.
