PropTypeDefaultDescription
titlestring—Required heading text, rendered as an h1.
actionsHeroAction[][]Optional action buttons. Each action has a required label, an optional href, an optional onClick callback, and an optional variant of "default", "destructive", "ghost", "outline", or "secondary". When href is truthy, the button renders as a Next.js Link; otherwise it renders as a button.
badgesHeroBadge[][]Optional badges. Each badge has a required label and an optional variant of "default", "destructive", "outline", or "secondary".
childrenReactNode—Optional content rendered below the actions in the text column.
classNamestring—Optional class name added to the outer section alongside its default layout classes.
descriptionstring—Optional supporting text displayed below the subtitle.
subtitlestring—Optional text displayed below the title.
visualReactNode—Optional custom visual rendered in the visual column. If omitted, the component renders an image with src "/images/8bit-orc.png" and alt text "Hero 2".
Accessibility
- The title is rendered as an h1; use the block where that heading level fits the page structure.
- Action labels become the visible button or link text, so provide concise, meaningful labels.
- The fallback image uses the generic alt text "Hero 2". If that does not describe the image meaningfully, provide a custom visual with an appropriately described image.
- The component does not add semantic labeling to custom visual content; provide suitable text alternatives or mark purely decorative visuals as hidden from assistive technology.
- If using an action onClick callback in a Next.js application, ensure it is used within an appropriate client-side boundary.
