# layout.index

A bordered box of rows read like a table: props, rules, the intents of a domain. Holds a layout.list of layout.term or layout.situation rows, padded to the box’s edge

Component: [`<Layout>`](https://www.prongs.dev/docs/components/layout.md) · Renders: `<div>` · Profile: [UI](https://www.prongs.dev/docs/intents/ui.md)

## Example

```tsx
<Layout intent="layout.index">
  …
</Layout>
```

## Choosing between neighbours

Find the row that describes your element, and use the intent on the right.

| If it is for… | Use |
|---|---|
| A bordered box of rows read like a table: props, rules, the intents of a domain. Holds a layout.list of layout.term or layout.situation rows, padded to the box’s edge | `layout.index` (this page) |
| A real table of data | [`layout.table`](https://www.prongs.dev/docs/intents/layout/table.md) |
| A box of rows read like a table (rather than [`layout.panel`](https://www.prongs.dev/docs/intents/layout/panel.md)) | `layout.index` (this page) |

## Connections

Declared in the registry, both directions. Where an intent is used in your own code is something check and the gallery see; this site has no app code.

## For registry authors

**Starter intents.** These are the intents `prongs add` puts in your registry, shown in this site’s theme. Yours are your own `registry.ts`: rename, restyle and add to them, and see them with `prongs add gallery`.

What this intent is built from and its entry in `components/prongs/registry.ts`. You only need this to change how it looks or to add an intent like it.

How layout.index resolves, and its definition

Each layer adds to the one before it; a later class wins over an earlier one that sets the same thing.

- [`surface.panel`](https://www.prongs.dev/docs/intents/ui.md#surface-panel) — Bordered box, one level above what it sits in

  ```
  surface rounded-md border border-surface-border
  ```

- [`arrange.stack`](https://www.prongs.dev/docs/intents/ui.md#arrange-stack) — Children in a column, free to shrink inside a row or grid

  ```
  flex min-w-0 flex-col
  ```

- [`layout.panel`](https://www.prongs.dev/docs/intents/layout/panel.md) — A self-contained box about one thing: a sign-in box, a profile summary. Its border is quieter than a layout.teaser’s, since it does not open anything

  ```
  gap-3 p-[clamp(1rem,4vw,1.5rem)] border-surface-border/60
  ```

- `layout.index` (this page) — A bordered box of rows read like a table: props, rules, the intents of a domain. Holds a layout.list of layout.term or layout.situation rows, padded to the box’s edge

  ```
  gap-0 overflow-hidden p-0 [&>ul>li]:px-4
  ```

Final classes

```
