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 popover.menu 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.floating

    Floats next to the element that opened it, flipping to stay on screen. Hidden while closed, whatever display the intent sets

  • arrange.rows

    Its buttons and links become full-width rows, whatever their own look, keeping a danger colour; a pressed or selected one is filled and ticked
