# dees-dashboardgrid
`<dees-dashboardgrid>` renders a configurable dashboard layout with draggable and resizable tiles. The component is now grouped in its own folder alongside supporting utilities and styles.
## Key Features
- Pointer-driven drag and resize interactions with keyboard fallbacks (arrow keys to move, `Shift` + arrows to resize).
- Collision-aware placement that swaps compatible tiles or displaces blocking tiles into the next free slot.
- Context menu (right-click on a tile header) that exposes destructive actions such as tile removal via `dees-contextmenu`.
- Layout persistence helpers via `getLayout()`, `setLayout(...)`, and the `layout-change` event.
- Responsive presets through the `layouts` map and `applyBreakpointLayout(...)` helper to hydrate per-breakpoint arrangements.
## Public API Highlights
| Property | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `widgets` | Array of tile descriptors (`DashboardWidget`). |
| `columns` | Number of grid columns. |
| `layouts` | Optional record of named layout definitions. |
| `activeBreakpoint` | Name of the currently applied breakpoint layout. |
| `editable` | Toggles drag/resize affordances. |
| Method | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `addWidget(widget, autoPosition?)` | Adds a tile, optionally auto-placing it into the next free slot. |
| `removeWidget(id)` | Removes a tile and emits `widget-remove`. |
| `applyBreakpointLayout(name)` | Applies a layout from the `layouts` map. |
| `getLayout()` / `setLayout(layout)` | Retrieve or apply persisted layouts. |
| `compact(direction?)` | Densifies the grid vertically (default) or horizontally. |
| Event | Detail payload |
| --- | --- |
| `widget-move` | `{ widget, displaced, swappedWith }` |
| `widget-resize` | `{ widget, displaced, swappedWith }` |
| `widget-remove` | `{ widget }` |
| `layout-change` | `{ layout }` |
## Usage Notes
- **Right-click** a tile header to open the contextual menu and delete the tile.
- When resizing, blocking tiles will automatically reflow into free space once the interaction completes.
- Listen to `layout-change` to persist layouts to storage; rehydrate using `setLayout` or the `layouts` map.
- For responsive dashboards, populate `grid.layouts = { base: [...], mobile: [...] }` and call `applyBreakpointLayout` based on your own breakpoint logic (see the co-located demo for an example).
## Demo
