Introduction {#intro}
=====================
<em>This section is not normative.</em>
The layout stage of CSS is responsible for generating and positioning <a>fragments</a> from the
<a>box tree</a>.
This specification describes an API which allows developers to layout a <a>box</a> in response to
computed style and <a>box tree</a> changes.
Layout API Containers {#layout-api-containers}
==============================================
A new <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/css-values-3/#comb-one">alternative</a> value is added
to the <<display-inside>> production: <code>layout(<<ident>>)</code>.
<dl dfn-for="display" dfn-type=value>
<dt><dfn>layout()</dfn>
<dd>
This value causes an element to generate a <a>layout API container</a> box.
</dl>
A <dfn>layout API container</dfn> is the box generated by an element with a <<display-inside>>
<a>computed value</a> ''layout()''.
A <a>layout API container</a> establishes a new <dfn>layout API formatting context</dfn> for its
contents. This is the same as establishing a block formatting context, except that the layout
provided by the author is used instead of the block layout.
For example, floats do not intrude into the layout API container, and the layout API container's
margins do not collapse with the margins of its contents.
All inflow children of a <a>layout API container</a> are called <dfn>layout API children</dfn> and
are laid out using the author defined layout.
<a>Layout API containers</a> form a containing block for their contents
<a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/visudet.html#containing-block-details">exactly like block
containers do</a>. [[!CSS21]]
Note: In a future level of the specification there may be a way to override the containing block
behaviour.
The 'overflow' property applies to <a>layout API containers</a>. This is discussed in
[[#interaction-overflow]].
As the layout is entirely up to the author, properties which are used in other layout modes (e.g.
flex, block) may not apply. For example an author may not respect the 'margin' property on children.
<div class="example">
The HTML below shows an example of setting the ''display'' to a ''layout()'' function, if the CSS
Layout API is supported.
<pre class="lang-html">
<!DOCTYPE html>
<style>
@supports (display: layout(centering)) {
.centering-layout { display: layout(centering); }
}
</style>
<div class="centering-layout"></div>
</pre>
</div>
Layout API Container Painting {#painting}
-----------------------------------------
<a>Layout API Container</a> children paint exactly the same as inline blocks [[!CSS21]], except that
the order in which they are returned from the layout method (via
{{FragmentResultOptions/childFragments}}) is used in place of raw document order, and 'z-index'
values other than ''z-index/auto'' create a stacking context even if 'position' is ''static''.
Box Tree Transformations {#layout-api-box-tree}
-----------------------------------------------
The <a>layout API children</a> can act in different ways depending on the value of <a for="document
layout definition">layout options'</a> {{LayoutOptions/childDisplay}} (set by
<code>layoutOptions</code> on the class).
If the value of <a for="document layout definition">layout options'</a>
{{LayoutOptions/childDisplay}} is <code>"block"</code> the 'display' value of that child is
<a>blockified</a>. This is similar to children of <a>flex containers</a> or <a>grid containers</a>.
See [[!css3-display]].
If the value of <a for="document layout definition">layout options'</a>
{{LayoutOptions/childDisplay}} is <code>"normal"</code>, no <a>blockification</a> occurs. Instead
children with a <<display-outside>> <a>computed value</a> of ''inline'' (a <a>root inline box</a>)
will produce a single {{LayoutFragment}} representing each line when
{{LayoutChild/layoutNextFragment()}} is called.
Note: This allows authors to adjust the available inline size of each line, and position each line
separately.
Children of a {{LayoutChild}} which represents <a>root inline box</a> also have some additional
transformations.
- A <a>block-level</a> box inside a <a>inline-level</a> box is <a>inlinified</a> I.e. its
<<display-outside>> is set to ''inline''.
- A <a>float</a> inside a <a>inline-level</a> box is not taken out of flow. Instead it must be
treated as inflow, and be <a>inlinified</a>.
In both of the above cases the children become <a>atomic inlines</a>.
Note: User agents would not perform any "inline splitting" or fragmenting when they encounter a
<a>block-level</a> box.
<div class="note">
Note: In the example below "inline-span" would be represented as a single {{LayoutChild}} with
both "block" and "float" being <a>atomic inlines</a>.

Layout Worklet {#layout-worklet}
================================
The {{layoutWorklet}} attribute allows access to the {{Worklet}} responsible for all the classes
which are related to layout.
The {{layoutWorklet}}'s [=worklet global scope type=] is {{LayoutWorkletGlobalScope}}.
<pre class='idl'>
partial namespace CSS {
[SameObject] readonly attribute Worklet layoutWorklet;
};
</pre>
The {{LayoutWorkletGlobalScope}} is the global execution context of the {{layoutWorklet}}.
<pre class='idl'>
[Global=(Worklet,LayoutWorklet),Exposed=LayoutWorklet]
interface LayoutWorkletGlobalScope : WorkletGlobalScope {
void registerLayout(DOMString name, VoidFunction layoutCtor);
};
</pre>
<div class='example'>
Web developers can feature detect by:
<pre class='lang-javascript'>
if ('layoutWorklet' in CSS) {
console.log('CSS Layout API available!');
}
</pre>
</div>
Concepts {#concepts}
--------------------
This section describes internal data-structures created when {{registerLayout(name, layoutCtor)}} is
called.
A <dfn>layout definition</dfn> is a [=struct=] which describes the information needed by the
{{LayoutWorkletGlobalScope}} about the author defined layout (which can be referenced by the
''layout()'' function). It consists of:
- <dfn for="layout definition">class constructor</dfn> which is the class [=constructor=].
- <dfn for="layout definition">layout function</dfn> which is the layout [=function=] callback.
- <dfn for="layout definition">intrinsic sizes function</dfn> which is the intrinsic sizes
[=function=] callback.
- <dfn for="layout definition">constructor valid flag</dfn>.
- <dfn for="layout definition">input properties</dfn> which is a [=list=] of
<code>DOMStrings</code>.
- <dfn for="layout definition">child input properties</dfn> which is a [=list=] of
<code>DOMStrings</code>.
- <dfn for="layout definition">layout options</dfn> a {{LayoutOptions}}.
A <dfn>document layout definition</dfn> is a [=struct=] which describes the information needed by
the [=document=] about the author defined layout (which can be referenced by the ''layout()''
function). It consists of:
- <dfn for="document layout definition">input properties</dfn> which is a [=list=] of
<code>DOMStrings</code>
- <dfn for="document layout definition">child input properties</dfn> which is a [=list=] of
<code>DOMStrings</code>.
- <dfn for="document layout definition">layout options</dfn> a {{LayoutOptions}}.
Registering A Layout {#registering-layout}
------------------------------------------
<pre class='idl'>
[Exposed=LayoutWorklet]
dictionary LayoutOptions {
ChildDisplayType childDisplay = "block";
LayoutSizingMode sizing = "block-like";
};
[Exposed=LayoutWorklet]
enum ChildDisplayType {
"block",
"normal",
};
[Exposed=LayoutWorklet]
enum LayoutSizingMode {
"block-like",
"manual",
};
</pre>
The [=document=] has a [=map=] of <dfn>document layout definitions</dfn>. Initially this map is
empty; it is populated when {{registerLayout(name, layoutCtor)}} is called.
The {{LayoutWorkletGlobalScope}} has a [=map=] of <dfn>layout definitions</dfn>. Initially this map
is empty; it is populated when {{registerLayout(name, layoutCtor)}} is called.
Each [=box=] representing a [=layout API container</a> has a [=map=] of <dfn>layout class
instances</dfn>. Initially this map is empty; it is populated when the user agent calls either
[=determine the intrinsic sizes=] or [=generate a fragment=] for a [=box=].
<div class='note'>
Note: The shape of the class should be:
<pre class='lang-javascript'>
registerLayout('example', class {
static get inputProperties() { return ['--foo']; }
static get childrenInputProperties() { return ['--bar']; }
static get layoutOptions() {
return {childDisplay: 'normal', sizing: 'block-like'}
}
async intrinsicSizes(children, edges, styleMap) {
// Intrinsic sizes code goes here.
}
async layout(children, edges, constraints, styleMap, breakToken) {
// Layout code goes here.
}
});
</pre>
</div>
</div>
The algorithm below is run when the {{registerLayout(name, layoutCtor)}} is called. It notifies the
user agent rendering engine about the new user defined layout.
<div algorithm>
When the <dfn method for=LayoutWorkletGlobalScope>registerLayout(|name|, |layoutCtor|)</dfn> method
is called, the user agent <em>must</em> run the following steps:
1. If the |name| is an empty string, [=throw=] a [=TypeError=] and abort all these steps.
2. Let |layoutDefinitionMap| be {{LayoutWorkletGlobalScope}}'s [=layout definitions=] map.
3. If |layoutDefinitionMap|[|name|] [=map/exists=] [=throw=] a "{{InvalidModificationError}}"
{{DOMException}} and abort all these steps.
4. Let |inputProperties| be an empty <code>sequence<DOMString></code>.
5. Let |inputPropertiesIterable| be the result of [=Get=](|layoutCtor|, "inputProperties").
6. If |inputPropertiesIterable| is not undefined, then set |inputProperties| to the result of
[=converting=] |inputPropertiesIterable| to a <code>sequence<DOMString></code>. If an
exception is [=thrown=], rethrow the exception and abort all these steps.
7. Filter |inputProperties| so that it only contains [=supported CSS properties=] and [=custom
properties=].
Note: The list of CSS properties provided by the input properties getter can either be
custom or native CSS properties.
Note: The list of CSS properties may contain shorthands.
Note: In order for a layout class to be forwards compatible, the list of CSS properties can
also contains currently invalid properties for the user agent. For example
<code>margin-bikeshed-property</code>.
8. Let |childInputProperties| be an empty <code>sequence<DOMString></code>.
9. Let |childInputPropertiesIterable| be the result of [=Get=](|layoutCtor|,
"childInputProperties").
10. If |childInputPropertiesIterable| is not undefined, then set |childInputProperties| to the
result of [=converting=] |childInputPropertiesIterable| to a
<code>sequence<DOMString></code>. If an exception is [=thrown=], rethrow the exception
and abort all these steps.
11. Filter |childInputProperties| so that it only contains [=supported CSS properties=] and [=custom
properties=].
12. Let |layoutOptionsValue| be the result of [=Get=](|layoutCtor|, "layoutOptions").
13. Let |layoutOptions| be the result of [=converting=] |layoutOptionsValue| to a
{{LayoutOptions}}. If an exception is [=thrown=], rethrow the exception and abort all these
steps.
14. Let |prototype| be the result of [=Get=](|layoutCtor|, "prototype").
15. If the result of [=Type=](|prototype|) is not Object, [=throw=] a [=TypeError=] and abort
all these steps.
16. Let |intrinsicSizesValue| be the result of [=Get=](|prototype|, "intrinsicSizes").
17. Let |intrinsicSizes| be the result of [=converting=] |intrinsicSizesValue| to the
[=Function=] [=callback function=] type. Rethrow any exceptions from the conversion.
18. Let |layoutValue| be the result of [=Get=](|prototype|, <code>"layout"</code>).
19. Let |layout| be the result of [=converting=] |layoutValue| to the [=Function=] [=callback
function=] type. Rethrow any exceptions from the conversion.
20. Let |definition| be a new [=layout definition=] with:
- [=class constructor=] being |layoutCtor|.
- [=layout function=] being |layout|.
- [=intrinsic sizes function=] being |intrinsicSizes|.
- [=constructor valid flag=] being <b>true</b>.
- [=layout definition/child input properties=] being |childInputProperties|.
- [=layout definition/input properties=] being |inputProperties|.
- [=layout defintion/layout options=] being |layoutOptions|.
21. [=map/Set=] |layoutDefinitionMap|[|name|] to |definition|.
22. [=Queue a task=] to run the following steps:
1. Let |documentLayoutDefinitionMap| be the associated [=document's=] [=document layout
definitions=] [=map=].
2. Let |documentDefinition| be a new [=document layout definition=] with:
- [=document layout definition/child input properties=] being |childInputProperties|.
- [=document layout definition/input properties=] being |inputProperties|.
- [=document layout definition/layout options=] being |layoutOptions|.
3. If |documentLayoutDefinitionMap|[|name|] [=map/exists=], run the following steps:
1. Let |existingDocumentDefinition| be the result of [=map/get=]
|documentLayoutDefinitionMap|[|name|].
2. If |existingDocumentDefinition| is <code>"invalid"</code>, abort all these steps.
3. If |existingDocumentDefinition| and |documentDefinition| are not equivalent, (that is
[=document layout definition/input properties=], [=document layout definition/child
input properties=], and [=document layout definition/layout options=] are
different), then:
[=map/Set=] |documentLayoutDefinitionMap|[|name|] to <code>"invalid"</code>.
Log an error to the debugging console stating that the same class was registered
with different <code>inputProperties</code>, <code>childInputProperties</code>, or
<code>layoutOptions</code>.
4. Otherwise, [=map/set=] |documentLayoutDefinitionMap|[|name|] to |documentDefinition|.
</div>
Layout API Model and Terminology {#layout-api-model-and-terminology}
====================================================================
This section gives an overview of the Layout API given to authors.
The <dfn>current layout</dfn> is the layout algorithm for the <a>box</a> we are currently performing
layout for.
The <dfn>parent layout</dfn> is the layout algorithm for the <a>box's</a> direct parent, (the layout
algorithm which is requesting the <a>current layout</a> to be performed).
A <dfn>child layout</dfn> is the layout algorithm for a {{LayoutChild}} of the <a>current layout</a>.
Layout Children {#layout-children}
----------------------------------
<pre class='idl'>
[Exposed=LayoutWorklet]
interface LayoutChild {
readonly attribute StylePropertyMapReadOnly styleMap;
IntrinsicSizesRequest intrinsicSizes();
LayoutFragmentRequest layoutNextFragment(LayoutConstraints constraints, ChildBreakToken breakToken);
};
</pre>
The {{LayoutChild}} has internal slot(s):
- <dfn attribute for=LayoutChild>\[[box]]</dfn> a CSS <a>box</a>.
- <dfn attribute for=LayoutChild>\[[styleMap]]</dfn> a {{StylePropertyMapReadOnly}}, this is the
computed style for the child, it is populated with only the properties listed in
<code>childInputProperties</code>.
<hr>
A {{LayoutChild}} represents either a CSS generated <a>box</a> before layout has occured. (The box
or boxes will all have a computed value of 'display' that is not ''none'').
The {{LayoutChild}} does not contain any layout information itself (like inline or block size) but
can be used to generate {{LayoutFragment}}s which do contain layout information.
An author cannot construct a {{LayoutChild}} with this API, this happens at a separate stage of the
rendering engine (post style resolution).
A {{LayoutChild}} could be generated by:
- An <a>element</a>.
- A <a>root inline box</a>.
- A <a>::before</a> or <a>::after</a> pseudo-element.
Note: Other pseudo-elements such as <a>::first-letter</a> or <a>::first-line</a> do not generate
a {{LayoutChild}} for layout purposes. They are additional styling information for a text
node.
- An <a>anonymous box</a>. For example an anonymous box may be inserted as a result of:
- A text node which has undergone <a>blockification</a>. (Or more generally a <a>root inline
box</a> which has undergone <a>blockification</a>).
- An element with ''display: table-cell'' which doesn't have a parent with ''display: table''.
<div class="note">
Note: As an example the following would be placed into three {{LayoutChild}}ren:
<pre class="lang-html">
<style>
#box::before { content: 'hello!'; }
</style>
<!-- A ::before pseudo-element is inserted here. -->
<div id="box">A block level box with text.</div>
<img src="..." />
</pre>
</div>
<div class="note">
Note: As an example the following would be placed into a single {{LayoutChild}} as they share a
<a>root inline box</a>:
<pre class="lang-html">
This is a next node, <span>with some additional styling,
that may</span> break over<br>multiple lines.
</pre>
</div>
Multiple non-<a>atomic inlines</a> are placed within the same {{LayoutChild}} to allow rendering
engines to perform text shaping across element boundaries.
<div class="note">
Note: As an example the following should produce one {{LayoutFragment}} but is from
three non-<a>atomic inlines</a>:
<pre class="lang-html">
ع<span style="color: blue">ع</span>ع
</pre>
</div>
An array of {{LayoutChild}}ren is passed into the layout method which represents the children of the
current box which is being laid out.
<div algorithm>
The <dfn attribute for=LayoutChild>styleMap</dfn>, on getting from a {{LayoutChild}} |this|, the
user agent must perform the following steps:
1. Return |this|' {{StylePropertyMapReadOnly}} contained in the {{[[styleMap]]}} internal slot.
</div>
<div algorithm>
When the <dfn method for=LayoutChild>layoutNextFragment(|constraints|, |breakToken|)</dfn> method is
called on a {{LayoutChild}} |this|, the user agent must perform the following steps:
1. Let |request| be a new {{LayoutFragmentRequest}} with internal slot(s):
- {{LayoutFragmentRequest/[[layoutChild]]}} set to |this|.
- {{[[layoutConstraints]]}} set to |constraints|.
- {{[[breakToken]]}} set to |breakToken|.
2. Return |request|.
</div>
<div algorithm>
When the <dfn method for=LayoutChild>intrinsicSizes()</dfn> method is called on a {{LayoutChild}}
|this|, the user agent must perform the following steps:
1. Let |request| be a new {{IntrinsicSizesRequest}} with internal slot(s):
- {{IntrinsicSizesRequest/[[layoutChild]]}} set to |this|.
2. Return |request|.
</div>
Note: Both {{LayoutChild/layoutNextFragment()}} and {{LayoutChild/intrinsicSizes()}} don't
synchronously run. See [[#request-objects]] for a full description.
### LayoutChildren and the Box Tree ### {#layout-child-box-tree}
Each <a>box</a> has a <dfn attribute for=box>\[[layoutChildMap]]</dfn> internal slot, which is a
<a>map</a> of {{LayoutWorkletGlobalScope}}s to {{LayoutChild}}ren.
<div algorithm="get a layout child">
When the user agent wants to <dfn>get a layout child</dfn> given |workletGlobalScope|, |name|, and
|box|, it <em>must</em> run the following steps:
1. Assert that:
- |box| is currently attached to the <a>box tree</a>.
- |box|'s <a>containing block</a> is a <a>layout API container</a>.
- The <a>containing block</a>'s ''layout()'' function's first argument is |name|.
2. Let |layoutChildMap| be |box|'s {{[[layoutChildMap]]}}.
3. If |layoutChildMap|[|workletGlobalScope|] does not <a for=map>exist</a>, run the following
steps:
1. Let |definition| be the result of <a>get a layout definition</a> given |name|, and
|workletGlobalScope|.
Assert that <a>get a layout definition</a> succeeded, and |definition| is not
<code>"invalid"</code>.
2. Let |childInputProperties| be |definition|'s <a for="layout definition">child input
properties</a>.
3. Let |layoutChild| be a new {{LayoutChild}} with internal slot(s):
- {{[[box]]}} set to |box|.
- {{[[styleMap]]}} set to a new {{StylePropertyMapReadOnly}} populated with
<em>only</em> the <a>computed values</a> for properties listed in
|childInputProperties|.
4. <a for=map>Set</a> |layoutChildMap|[|workletGlobalScope|] to |layoutChild|.
4. Return the result of <a for=map>get</a> |layoutChildMap|[|workletGlobalScope|]
</div>
When a <a>box</a> is inserted into the <a>box tree</a> the user agent <em>may</em> pre-populate the
{{[[layoutChildMap]]}} for all {{LayoutWorkletGlobalScope}}s.
When a <a>box</a> is removed from the <a>box tree</a> the user agent <em>must</em> clear the
{{[[layoutChildMap]]}}.
<div algorithm="update a layout child style">
When the user agent wants to <dfn>update a layout child style</dfn> given |box|, it <em>must</em>
run the following steps:
1. Assert that:
- |box| is currently attached to the <a>box tree</a>.
2. If |box|'s <a>containing block</a> is not a <a>layout API container</a>, abort all these
steps.
3. Let |layoutChildMap| be |box|'s {{[[layoutChildMap]]}}.
4. <a for=map>For each</a> |layoutChild| in |layoutChildMap|:
1. Let |styleMap| be |layoutChild|'s {{[[styleMap]]}}.
2. Update |styleMap|'s <a>declarations</a> based on the |box|'s new computed style.
</div>
When the computed style of a <a>box</a> changes the user agent must run the <a>update a layout child
style</a> algorithm.
Layout Fragments {#layout-fragments}
------------------------------------
<pre class='idl'>
[Exposed=LayoutWorklet]
interface LayoutFragment {
readonly attribute double inlineSize;
readonly attribute double blockSize;
attribute double inlineOffset;
attribute double blockOffset;
readonly attribute any data;
readonly attribute ChildBreakToken? breakToken;
};
</pre>
The {{LayoutFragment}} has internal slot(s):
- <dfn attribute for=LayoutFragment>\[[layoutFragmentRequest]]</dfn> a
{{LayoutFragmentRequest}}, this is the fragment request which generated this fragment.
- <dfn attribute for=LayoutFragment>\[[generator]]</dfn> the generator which produced this
fragment.
<hr>
A {{LayoutFragment}} represents a CSS <a>fragment</a> of a {{LayoutChild}} after layout has occurred
on that child. This is produced by the {{LayoutChild/layoutNextFragment()}} method.
The {{LayoutFragment}} has {{LayoutFragment/inlineSize}} and {{LayoutFragment/blockSize}}
attributes, which are set by the respective child's layout algorithm. They represent the <b>border
box</b> size of the CSS <a>fragment</a>, and are relative to the <a>current layout's</a> writing
mode.
The {{LayoutFragment/inlineSize}} and {{LayoutFragment/blockSize}} attributes cannot be changed. If
the <a>current layout</a> requires a different {{LayoutFragment/inlineSize}} or
{{LayoutFragment/blockSize}} the author must perform {{LayoutChild/layoutNextFragment()}} again with
different arguments in order to get different results.
The author inside the current layout can position a resulting {{LayoutFragment}} by setting its
{{LayoutFragment/inlineOffset}} and {{LayoutFragment/blockOffset}} attributes. If not set by the
author they default to zero. The {{LayoutFragment/inlineOffset}} and {{LayoutFragment/blockOffset}}
attributes represent the position of the {{LayoutFragment}} relative to its parent's <b>border
box</b>, before transform or positioning (e.g. if a fragment is <a>relatively positioned</a>) has
been applied.
<div class="example">
The layout algorithm performs a block-like layout (positioning fragments sequentially in the block
direction), while centering its children in the inline direction.
<pre class="lang-javascript">
registerLayout('block-like', class {
async intrinsicSizes(children, edges, styleMap) {
const childrenSizes = await Promise.all(children.map((child) => {

blockOffset += fragment.blockSize;
}
const autoBlockSize = blockOffset + edges.all.blockEnd;
return {
autoBlockSize,
childFragments,
};
}
});
</pre>
</div>
A <a>layout API container</a> can communicate with other <a>layout API containers</a> by using the
{{LayoutFragment/data}} attribute. This is set by the {{FragmentResultOptions/data}} member in the
{{FragmentResultOptions}} dictionary.
The {{LayoutFragment}}'s {{LayoutFragment/breakToken}} specifies where the {{LayoutChild}} last
fragmented. If the {{LayoutFragment/breakToken}} is null the {{LayoutChild}} wont produce any more
{{LayoutFragment}}s for that token chain. The {{LayoutFragment/breakToken}} can be passed to the
{{LayoutChild/layoutNextFragment()}} function to produce the next {{LayoutFragment}} for a
particular child. The {{LayoutFragment/breakToken}} cannot be changed.
If the <a>current layout</a> requires a different {{LayoutFragment/breakToken}} the author must perform
{{LayoutChild/layoutNextFragment()}} again with different arguments.
<div algorithm>
When the user agent wants to <dfn>create a layout fragment</dfn> given |generator|,
|layoutFragmentRequest|, and |internalFragment|, it <em>must</em> run the following steps:
1. Let |targetRealm| be |generator|'s <a>Realm</a>.
2. Let |fragment| be a new {{LayoutFragment}} with:
- The {{[[layoutFragmentRequest]]}} internal slot being |layoutFragmentRequest|.
- The {{[[generator]]}} internal slot being |generator|.
- {{LayoutFragment/inlineSize}} being |internalFragment|'s <a>inline size</a> relative to
the <a>current layout's</a> writing mode.
- {{LayoutFragment/blockSize}} being |internalFragment|'s <a>block size</a> relative to the
<a>current layout's</a> writing mode.
- {{LayoutFragment/inlineOffset}} initially set to 0.
- {{LayoutFragment/blockOffset}} initially set to 0.
- {{LayoutFragment/breakToken}} being a new {{ChildBreakToken}} representing
|internalFragment|'s internal break token, if any.
- If |internalFragment| has a |clonedData| object stored with it, let
{{LayoutFragment/data}} being the result of
<a>StructuredDeserialize</a>(|clonedData|, |targetRealm|), otherwise null.
3. Return |fragment|.

</pre>
The {{IntrinsicSizes}} object has internal slot(s):
- <dfn attribute for=IntrinsicSizes>\[[intrinsicSizesRequest]]</dfn> a
{{IntrinsicSizesRequest}}, this is the intrinsic sizes request which generated these
intrinsic sizes.
<hr>
A {{IntrinsicSizes}} object represents the <a>min-content size</a> and <a>max-content size</a> of a
CSS <a>box</a>. It has {{IntrinsicSizes/minContentSize}} and {{IntrinsicSizes/maxContentSize}}
attributes which represent the <b>border box</b> min/max-content contribution of the {{LayoutChild}}
for the <a>current layout</a>. The attributes are relative to the inline direction of the <a>current
layout's</a> writing mode.
The {{IntrinsicSizes/minContentSize}} and {{IntrinsicSizes/maxContentSize}} cannot be changed. They
must not change for a {{LayoutChild}} within the current layout pass.
<div class="example">
The example below shows the border-box intrinsic sizes of two children.

A {{LayoutConstraints}} object is passed into the layout method which represents the all the

information about the available space into a <a>child layout</a>.
The {{LayoutConstraints}} object has {{LayoutConstraints/availableInlineSize}} and
{{LayoutConstraints/availableBlockSize}} attributes. This represents the <a>available space</a> for
a {{LayoutFragment}} which the layout should respect.
Note: Some layouts may need to produce a {{LayoutFragment}} which exceed this size. For example a
<a>replaced element</a>. The <a>parent layout</a> should expect this to occur and deal with it
appropriately.
A <a>parent layout</a> may require the <a>current layout</a> to be exactly a particular size. If
