Description

A Card used as the content of a Dialog had no way to name or describe that dialog. The popup points aria-labelledby / aria-describedby at ids only Dialog.Title and Dialog.Description claim, so a card surface either went unnamed or had to be composed differently inside a dialog than outside one.

Dialog.Popup now publishes a Mosaic DialogContext carrying the popup's labelId, descriptionId, and size. It is published by the popup rather than the root: the headless DialogContext also spans Dialog.Trigger, so a part reading that one would report a dialog while sitting outside the surface and claim ids that do not belong to it.

Two new parts read it:

  • Card.Title renders an <h2> and takes labelId.
  • Card.Description renders a <p> and takes descriptionId.

Neither branches on where it was rendered. Each takes an id if the surface offers one and carries none outside a dialog, and an explicit id from the caller still wins. The same card composition works on both surfaces:

<Card.Root elevation='flush'>
  <Card.Header>
    <Card.Title>Delete account</Card.Title>
    <Card.Description>This cannot be undone.</Card.Description>
  </Card.Header>
  <Card.Content></Card.Content>
</Card.Root>

Card.Header also carries the dialog's dismiss affordance, built on Dialog.Close, in flow at the inline end. It renders first in the DOM so it takes the dialog's opening focus, and the header reserves the width it takes so a long title cannot run under it. Outside a dialog it renders nothing. renderCloseButton={false} opts out where the dialog places its own Dialog.CloseButton, which is untouched and remains the corner affordance for dialogs that hold no card.

…text

Dialog.Popup publishes a Mosaic DialogContext carrying the popup's ARIA ids and
size. Card.Title and Card.Description read it and take labelId / descriptionId,
so a card used as dialog content names and describes the dialog with no branch
on where it was rendered. Card.Header carries the dismiss affordance inside a
dialog.

Removes the unused Card.Header alignment prop and splits card.styles.ts into one
stylex.create per part.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Mosaic Card now provides separate slot styles, elevation context, structured Title and Description components, and dialog-aware accessibility and dismissal behavior. Dialog exposes surface metadata through a public context. Tests cover the new slots, IDs, semantics, props, refs, and dialog behavior. Stories, registry entries, and usage examples use the updated Card API.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 68584

This PR adds public Card APIs and dialog labeling behavior, but its empty changeset metadata can leave the release without the required package version and changelog entry. The change is otherwise mergeable with owner follow-up on release metadata.

Name and export prop types for the new Title and Description parts.

Title and Description use inline MosaicComponentProps<'h2'> and MosaicComponentProps<'p'>. Root and Header publish CardProps and CardHeaderProps. A consumer that wraps Card.Title or Card.Description has no exported type to reference.

Add CardTitleProps and CardDescriptionProps and export them from packages/ui/src/mosaic/components/card/index.ts.

♻️ Proposed refactor
+export type CardTitleProps = MosaicComponentProps<'h2'>;
+
 /**
  * Names the card. Renders an `<h2>`, and inside a dialog takes the id the popup points
  * `aria-labelledby` at, so the card names the dialog without knowing it is in one.
  */
-const Title = React.forwardRef<HTMLHeadingElement, MosaicComponentProps<'h2'>>(function CardTitle(
+const Title = React.forwardRef<HTMLHeadingElement, CardTitleProps>(function CardTitle(
   { render, className, style, ...rest },
   ref,
 ) {
+export type CardDescriptionProps = MosaicComponentProps<'p'>;
+
 /** Describes the card. The `aria-describedby` counterpart to {`@link` Title}. */
-const Description = React.forwardRef<HTMLParagraphElement, MosaicComponentProps<'p'>>(function CardDescription(
+const Description = React.forwardRef<HTMLParagraphElement, CardDescriptionProps>(function CardDescription(
   { render, className, style, ...rest },
   ref,
 ) {

Then in packages/ui/src/mosaic/components/card/index.ts:

-export type { CardHeaderProps, CardProps } from './card';
+export type { CardDescriptionProps, CardHeaderProps, CardProps, CardTitleProps } from './card';

Deduplicate the identical card and overlay elevation styles.

root.card and root.overlay declare the same four properties with the same values, including the three-line boxShadow. A future change to one surface will silently diverge from the other. Extract the shared surface declarations into one key and compose it at the call site, or hoist the shadow into a constant.

Comment thread packages/ui/src/mosaic/components/card/card.test.tsx Outdated
An explicit id on Card.Title or Card.Description displaced the id the popup
points aria-labelledby / aria-describedby at, leaving the dialog with no
accessible name. The surface's id now wins inside a dialog; outside one, where
no surface claims an id, an explicit id still applies.

Also drops the Card.Header renderCloseButton prop.
