Row

import "@taprootio/espalier/row";

<esp-row>

A horizontal flow: children sit in a wrapping row with a themed gap — "row, wrap, gap Y" without writing flexbox (ADR-010's micro half).

Rows wrap by default, so a button row or badge cluster degrades to multiple lines at narrow widths instead of overflowing; set nowrap for toolbars that must stay on one line. Cross-axis alignment defaults to center — the icon-beside-label, text-beside-button case a row exists for.

Slots

<esp-row> has a slot:

Default

The row children.

Attributes

<esp-row> has the following attributes:

gap

gap has a default value of "normal".

Gap between children as a space-scale step name (none, tiny, small, normal, medium, big, large, huge).

align

align has a default value of "center".

Cross-axis alignment of children: start, center, end, or stretch.

justify

justify has a default value of "start".

Main-axis distribution: start, center, end, or between.

nowrap

nowrap has a default value of false.

Keeps every child on one line instead of wrapping.

intent

intent has a default value of undefined.

The element's intent — its meaning: neutral (no pin), or success, warning, danger, info — each pinned to its fixed status family (blue for info), retunable per theme via intents. On token-emitting controls a non-neutral intent pins the filled-action pair to that family, derived over the governing zone's theme; class-styled chrome (badges, callouts, status pills) opts out of inline emission and renders its treatment from CSS classes instead. An intent never repaints the surrounding zone, which is what contexts are for. Removing the attribute restores the element's own default intent.

context

context has a default value of undefined.

A theme-defined color zone. The selected context rebinds designer-facing roles and emits a complete, contrast-enforced semantic token table on this host for descendants to inherit.

Methods

<esp-row> has the following methods:

traverseToClosest

Traverse up the DOM tree to find the closest element that matches the selector. This method is aware of shadow DOM boundaries and will traverse through them to find the element.
