Usage
usage.tsx
import BentoDemo from "@/registry/example/bento-demo"<BentoDemo />- Use for a product or SaaS landing page feature overview.
- Use when each feature benefits from a distinct visual demo rather than a plain icon-and-text grid.
- Use for responsive layouts that need a four-item asymmetric bento presentation.
- Use when animated previews such as marquees, lists, beams, and calendars help communicate product capabilities.
Examples
Product landing page features
Place the demo in a landing-page section to showcase core application capabilities.
product-landing-page-features.tsx
import BentoDemo from "@/registry/example/bento-demo"<section aria-labelledby="features-heading"> <h2 id="features-heading">Everything you need to stay organized</h2> <BentoDemo /></section>Dashboard introduction
Use the grid as an introductory feature section below a dashboard header.
dashboard-introduction.tsx
import BentoDemo from "@/registry/example/bento-demo"<main> <header> <h1>Welcome to your workspace</h1> <p>Explore the tools that make your workflow easier.</p> </header> <BentoDemo /></main>Feature showcase with themed container
Wrap the example in a section that provides spacing and a centered content width.
feature-showcase-with-themed-container.tsx
import BentoDemo from "@/registry/example/bento-demo"<section className="mx-auto max-w-6xl space-y-8 px-6 py-16"> <div className="max-w-2xl"> <p className="text-sm font-medium">Platform features</p> <h2 className="text-3xl font-semibold tracking-tight">Built for modern teams</h2> </div> <BentoDemo /></section>Accessibility
- BentoDemo itself accepts no props and provides no component-level configuration for accessibility behavior.
- The feature card labels, descriptions, and call-to-action content are rendered by the underlying BentoCard component; verify that BentoCard exposes the call to action as an accessible link or button.
- The source uses placeholder href values of "#" for all feature calls to action, so replace them with meaningful destinations in production.
- The animated previews should remain supplementary to the visible feature names and descriptions; ensure any underlying animated components do not convey essential information only through motion.
- The calendar preview uses a fixed selected date of May 11, 2022 and should be treated as decorative unless its semantics are intentionally exposed to users.
