PropTypeDefaultDescription
propsnullnullThe component does not declare or accept props. Its three category callouts, image URLs, alt text, labels, descriptions, and links are defined internally.
Accessibility
- The section uses a semantic heading hierarchy with an h2 heading for “Collections.”
- Each image includes descriptive alternative text from its internal callout data.
- Each category is represented by a native anchor, providing keyboard navigation and a semantic link target.
- The absolute overlay span expands each link across its card while preserving the category name as the link text.
- The hover-only opacity change is not required to understand or operate the category links.
