API reference
PropTypeDefaultDescription
slotsSaveSlot[]—Required list of slots to display. Each SaveSlot requires id: string and isEmpty: boolean; optional fields are name?: string, timestamp?: Date | string, preview?: string, and description?: string.
onSlotClick(slot: SaveSlot) => void—Called with the activated slot when a slot item or its LOAD button is clicked, or when the slot item is activated with Enter or Space. The callback does not receive a separate save/load action.
layout"vertical" | "grid""vertical"Displays slots in a vertical list or a responsive grid. Grid columns increase from one to two at the small breakpoint and to three at the large breakpoint.
maxSlotsnumber10Limits the displayed slots to the first maxSlots entries in slots. It does not create additional empty slots.
maxVisibleSlotsnumber4For a vertical layout only, enables a scroll area when the displayed slot count exceeds this value. The scroll area's maximum height is calculated from this value.
classNamestring—Additional class name applied to the outer Card.
titlestring"SAVE FILES"Card heading. A falsy value, such as an empty string, hides the header.
showTimestampbooleantrueShows a filled slot's timestamp when that slot has a timestamp. Dates are formatted as Today, Yesterday, an age in days, or a localized date.
showPreviewbooleantrueShows a preview frame for each slot, using its preview image when provided or a floppy-disk icon otherwise.
...propsReact.ComponentProps<"div">—Accepts the remaining native div props and spreads them onto the outer Card.
Accessibility
- Each slot item has role="button", tabIndex={0}, and an aria-label identifying it as empty or naming the filled slot.
- Slot items invoke the callback on Enter and Space; Space is prevented from scrolling the page.
- The LOAD button has an aria-label identifying the slot it loads and stops its click from bubbling to the slot item. It invokes the same callback as the slot item.
- The preview frame is aria-hidden, so preview images and the decorative floppy-disk icon are excluded from the accessibility tree.
- The slot item has no explicit focus-visible styling in this component. Check that the final theme provides a visible keyboard focus indicator.
