Link Box

Headless, accessible, and styled entirely through the attribute surface below — bring your own CSS system, or start from the reference theme.

Install

Without a flag you get no styling at all — plain HTML carrying the attribute surface below. --theme copies the same theme in two dialects;--bridge lumos re-points either one onto Lumos for Astro's tokens (it needs a theme to re-point, and Lumos itself, already in your project).

Unstyled — behavior only, you write the CSS

npx astrocraft-ui add navigation/link-box

Plain-CSS theme — no build step

npx astrocraft-ui add navigation/link-box --theme css

Tailwind theme — needs Tailwind v4

npx astrocraft-ui add navigation/link-box --theme tailwind

Plain-CSS theme, re-pointed onto Lumos tokens

npx astrocraft-ui add navigation/link-box --theme css --bridge lumos

Tailwind theme, re-pointed onto Lumos tokens

npx astrocraft-ui add navigation/link-box --theme tailwind --bridge lumos

LinkBox

The whole card is clickable, and the card's own link still works — click "docs" below and you get the docs, not the card. The accessible name of the card is just its title, and the body text stays selectable. A nested <a> would be invalid HTML; this is the fix.

Headless is a promise you can test

Load the catalog with no theme and drive every primitive. Everything must still be operable — the rest is in the docs.

Attribute surface

With no class-merging machinery, these attributes are the whole extension point. State is a data-attribute or a native attribute; visibility is the hiddenattribute. Generated from source by pnpm slots.

Component	Slots	Variants	Runtime state	Native state
`LinkBox.astro`	`link-box`	—	—	—
`LinkOverlay.astro`	`link-overlay`	—	—	—

Source

What the command copies — 3 files, alias-free so the copy lands standing alone. This is the whole component, shown without its comments; the files you install keep them, with the reasoning behind every rule.
