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 ImagePairGrid from './velocity/image-pair-grid/ImagePairGrid.astro';
---
<ImagePairGrid />Built from Image Pair Grid'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
- aria-label
Read from the source, not asserted — anything not listed simply isn't in this component's markup.
Behaviour
- Ships client JS
- No — renders to static markup
- Breakpoints
- md:
- Dark mode
- Carries its own dark: variants
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-50primary-100primary-600primary-700primary-900Get 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 Image Pair Grid?
Run velocityx add image-pair-grid . The CLI writes the source straight into your project — it is not a runtime package dependency.
Do I need a licence for Image Pair Grid?
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 Image Pair Grid 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 Image Pair Grid ship JavaScript to my users?
No. It renders to static markup with no client-side JavaScript of its own.
Will Image Pair Grid 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 Image Pair Grid accessible?
It ships ARIA roles (img), 1 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 Image Pair Grid work on mobile?
It carries its own responsive rules at the md breakpoint, so it re-flows rather than relying on the page around it to do the work.
Does Image Pair Grid 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.
