Examples

Skateboarding trick cards

The registry example uses six variable-height cards with titles and descriptions.

skateboarding-trick-cards.tsx
import { Masonry, MasonryItem } from "@/components/ui/masonry";const tricks = [  { id: "1", title: "The 900", description: "Spin 900 degrees in the air." },  { id: "2", title: "Indy Backflip", description: "Backflip while grabbing the board." },  { id: "3", title: "Rocket Air", description: "Grab the nose and point the board upward." },];<Masonry columnCount={3} gap={12}>  {tricks.map((trick) => (    <MasonryItem key={trick.id} asChild>      <article className="rounded-md border bg-card p-4 shadow-xs">        <h3 className="font-medium">{trick.title}</h3>        <p className="text-sm text-muted-foreground">{trick.description}</p>      </article>    </MasonryItem>  ))}</Masonry>

Image gallery

Use MasonryItem with an image and caption to create a variable-height gallery.

image-gallery.tsx
import { Masonry, MasonryItem } from "@/components/ui/masonry";const images = [  { id: "1", src: "/gallery/mountain.jpg", alt: "Mountain landscape" },  { id: "2", src: "/gallery/forest.jpg", alt: "Forest path" },  { id: "3", src: "/gallery/coast.jpg", alt: "Coastal cliffs" },];<Masonry columnCount={3} gap={12}>  {images.map((image) => (    <MasonryItem key={image.id} asChild>      <figure className="overflow-hidden rounded-md border bg-card">        <img className="w-full" src={image.src} alt={image.alt} />        <figcaption className="p-3 text-sm text-muted-foreground">{image.alt}</figcaption>      </figure>    </MasonryItem>  ))}</Masonry>

Loading fallback

Provide fallback content while the masonry layout is loading.

loading-fallback.tsx
import { Masonry, MasonryItem } from "@/components/ui/masonry";import { Skeleton } from "@/components/ui/skeleton";<Masonry columnCount={3} gap={12} fallback={<Skeleton className="h-72 w-full" />}>  <MasonryItem asChild>    <div className="rounded-md border p-4">First card</div>  </MasonryItem>  <MasonryItem asChild>    <div className="rounded-md border p-4">Second card</div>  </MasonryItem></Masonry>

Accessibility

  • Use semantic elements such as article, figure, or headings inside MasonryItem when appropriate; the masonry wrapper does not provide semantics for individual content.
  • Provide meaningful alt text for images used in masonry cards.
  • Ensure card text and interactive elements maintain sufficient color contrast against the card background.
  • Do not rely on card position or visual order to convey essential information.
  • Provide a useful fallback that communicates loading status, and consider adding an accessible status message when loading state is important.
