API reference #
HeroBlock
component
Accessibility #
It is built on native elements, so roles and focus come from the browser.
No custom key handling; Tab and the native activation keys do the work.
Motion #
It declares no animation in its component source. Any transition comes from its stylesheet, which uses the duration tokens that collapse to instant under prefers-reduced-motion.
