# layout.meter

An amount within a known range, shown as a filled track: battery, storage used, a quota. Give it aria-label, aria-valuenow, aria-valuemin and aria-valuemax, and one layout.meter.fill inside

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

## Example

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

## Choosing between neighbours

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

| If it is for… | Use |
|---|---|
| An amount within a known range, shown as a filled track: battery, storage used, a quota. Give it aria-label, aria-valuenow, aria-valuemin and aria-valuemax, and one layout.meter.fill inside | `layout.meter` (this page) |
| Progress while something loads | [`layout.loading`](https://www.prongs.dev/docs/intents/layout/loading.md) |
| A number on its own | [`text.stat`](https://www.prongs.dev/docs/intents/text/stat.md) |
| A smooth amount where small differences matter (rather than [`layout.blocks`](https://www.prongs.dev/docs/intents/layout/blocks.md)) | `layout.meter` (this page) |
| One amount within a range, like a battery level (rather than [`layout.chart`](https://www.prongs.dev/docs/intents/layout/chart.md)) | `layout.meter` (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.meter 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.

- [`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.meter` (this page) — An amount within a known range, shown as a filled track: battery, storage used, a quota. Give it aria-label, aria-valuenow, aria-valuemin and aria-valuemax, and one layout.meter.fill inside

  ```
