Using it
The smallest call that compiles — required props only. The import is
written for your own file at src/components/Example.astro;
adjust the relative import if yours sits elsewhere.
Everything optional is in the table above, with its default.
---
import BenchmarkPercentileBar from './velocity/benchmark-percentile-bar/BenchmarkPercentileBar.astro';
---
<BenchmarkPercentileBar
percentile={0}
/>Built from Benchmark Percentile Bar's own prop signature and the path the CLI installs it to, so it can't drift from either.
Accessibility
- ARIA roles
- img
- ARIA attributes

Read from the source, not asserted — anything not listed simply isn't in this component's markup.
Behaviour
- Ships client JS

Theming
This component paints from 5 steps of
your theme scale — no hardcoded colours, and no font-family of
its own, so your type cascade wins. Override the variables and it follows.
primary-300primary-400primary-500primary-600primary-700Get the Velocity preset and CSS theme from the public source guide. The CLI theme command is not available on npm yet.
File this creates
The CLI writes this path into your project — nothing
else moves. Paths are under your source root, which defaults to
src/; pass
--dest if yours is elsewhere.

How do I install Benchmark Percentile Bar?
Run velocityx add benchmark-percentile-bar . The CLI writes the source straight into your project — it is not a runtime package dependency.
Do I need a licence for Benchmark Percentile Bar?
Yes. It is part of the lifetime library — buy access at https://aidxn.com/shop/velocity-x-component-library/, authenticate once, and install it. Your lifetime licence includes future component updates.
Can I edit Benchmark Percentile Bar after installing it?
Yes — the files are yours once written. The CLI compares its lockfile hash before upgrades and refuses to overwrite code you changed.
Does Benchmark Percentile Bar ship JavaScript to my users?
No. It renders to static markup with no client-side JavaScript of its own.
Will Benchmark Percentile Bar match my brand colours?
Yes. It paints entirely from your theme scale — 5 steps of primary-* / accent-* — with no hardcoded hex values and no font-family of its own. Override the theme CSS variables and it follows your design system instead of ours.
Is Benchmark Percentile Bar accessible?
It ships ARIA roles (img), 2 ARIA attributes. That is read directly from the source rather than claimed — you should still test it in the context you drop it into.
Does Benchmark Percentile Bar work on mobile?
It carries its own responsive rules at the sm breakpoint, so it re-flows rather than relying on the page around it to do the work.
Does Benchmark Percentile Bar pull in any dependencies?
No external ones. Every component in the library is built with react/react-dom or plain Astro only — no GSAP, Radix, Swiper or Headless UI — which is what makes dropping it into an existing project safe.

Stat band whose numbers count up when the section scrolls into view, then settle. No runtime dependency — plain Astro plus a small inline observer. Honours prefers-reduced-motion by rendering final values immediately.
astroPuts two numbers on one shared scale and calls out the delta — the proof-point shape for 'we cut your load time' or 'conversion rate before vs. after' case studies. Ships a screen-reader summary alongside the bars, so the comparison reads correctly even without the visual.
astroOne headline figure sized to carry a section on its own, with a short annotation line underneath for context. Locale-safe number formatting (including compact '4.2M' notation) and a count-up that lands on the real value immediately for reduced-motion users.
astroThe compact way to show actual-vs-target on a scorecard row: a thin fill against a qualitative poor/satisfactory/good band, with a tick marking the target, so a whole KPI reads in the space a single number used to take. Values stay in text too, so it holds up for anyone who can't read the bar visually.
