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.

<MediaGridIntroSection />Built from Media Grid Intro Section's own prop signature and the path the CLI installs it to, so it can't drift from either.

Theming
This component paints from 8 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.

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 Media Grid Intro Section?
Run velocityx add media-grid-intro-section . The CLI writes the source straight into your project — it is not a runtime package dependency.
Do I need a licence for Media Grid Intro Section?
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 Media Grid Intro Section 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 Media Grid Intro Section ship JavaScript to my users?
No. It renders to static markup with no client-side JavaScript of its own.
Will Media Grid Intro Section match my brand colours?
Yes. It paints entirely from your theme scale — 8 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 Media Grid Intro Section 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 Media Grid Intro Section work on mobile?
It carries its own responsive rules at the sm, md, lg breakpoints, so it re-flows rather than relying on the page around it to do the work.
Does Media Grid Intro Section 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.
