# Tile

The `Tile` component displays interactive buttons for the POS smart grid. Use tiles as customizable shortcuts that allow merchants to quickly access workflows, actions, and information from the smart grid.

Tiles can change their appearance, content, and enabled state based on surrounding context such as cart contents, device conditions, or runtime state. They can display contextual information through titles, subtitles, and badge values.

Each POS UI extension can only render one `Tile` component for each [home screen tile target](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/pos-ui-extensions/2025-10/targets/home-screen#home-screen-tile-).

## Properties

Configure the following properties on the `Tile` component.

* disabled

  boolean

  Default: false

  Whether the field is disabled, preventing user interaction. Use when the field is temporarily unavailable due to application state, permissions, or dependencies.

* heading

  string

  Default: ''

  A title that describes the content of the section. If omitted and no secondary actions are provided, the section will be rendered without a header.

* id

  string

  A unique identifier for the element used for targeting with CSS, JavaScript, or accessibility features.

* itemCount

  number

  A numeric value displayed as a counter or badge. Used for showing quantities, notifications, or step numbers.

* subheading

  string

  Default: ''

  A secondary page heading displayed under the main heading in the action bar.

* tone

  'auto' | 'neutral' | 'accent'

  Default: 'auto'

  Sets the visual tone of the tile based on the intention of the information being conveyed. Use `'accent'` to highlight important or primary actions, `'neutral'` for standard actions, or `'auto'` (default) to let the system determine the appropriate tone based on context.

## Events

The `Tile` component provides event callbacks for handling user interactions. Learn more about [handling events](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/polaris/using-polaris-web-components#handling-events).

* click

  (event: CallbackEvent<"s-tile">) => void

  The callback when the element is activated.

### CallbackEvent

Represents the event object passed to callback functions when interactive events occur. Contains metadata about the event, including the target element, event phase, and propagation behavior.

* bubbles

  Whether the event bubbles up through the DOM tree.

  ```ts
  boolean
  ```

* cancelable

  Whether the event can be canceled.

  ```ts
  boolean
  ```

* composed

  Whether the event will trigger listeners outside of a shadow root.

  ```ts
  boolean
  ```

* currentTarget

  The element that the event listener is attached to.

  ```ts
  HTMLElementTagNameMap[T]
  ```

* detail

  Additional data associated with the event.

  ```ts
  any
  ```

* eventPhase

  The current phase of the event flow.

  ```ts
  number
  ```

* target

  The element that triggered the event.

  ```ts
  HTMLElementTagNameMap[T] | null
  ```

```ts
interface CallbackEvent<T extends keyof HTMLElementTagNameMap> {
  /**
   * The element that the event listener is attached to.
   */
  currentTarget: HTMLElementTagNameMap[T];
  /**
   * Whether the event bubbles up through the DOM tree.
   */
  bubbles?: boolean;
  /**
   * Whether the event can be canceled.
   */
  cancelable?: boolean;
  /**
   * Whether the event will trigger listeners outside of a shadow root.
   */
  composed?: boolean;
  /**
   * Additional data associated with the event.
   */
  detail?: any;
  /**
   * The current phase of the event flow.
   */
  eventPhase: number;
  /**
   * The element that triggered the event.
   */
  target: HTMLElementTagNameMap[T] | null;
}
```

### Examples

* #### Create a smart grid tile

  ##### Description

  Create interactive smart grid shortcuts using a \`Tile\` component with customizable title, subtitle, and badge. This example shows a basic tile for the POS smart grid.

  ##### Default

  ```html
  <s-tile heading="Extension title" subheading="Subtitle" />
  <s-tile heading="Extension title" subheading="Subtitle" tone="accent" />
  ```

## Best practices

* **Write action-oriented headings:** Use specific language like "Apply loyalty discount" rather than generic terms like "Loyalty app."
* **Provide contextual subheadings:** Show dynamic information like cart totals, eligibility requirements, or current status.
* **Use meaningful item counts:** Display counts for actionable items like pending notifications or items requiring action, not just informational counts.
* **Launch modals for workflows:** Use `onClick` with `shopify.action.presentModal()` rather than performing complex operations directly.

## Limitations

The `Tile` component supports click and long press interactions only. Swipe, drag, and other gestures aren't supported.
