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 PortfolioGalleryBoxed from './velocity/portfolio-gallery-boxed/PortfolioGalleryBoxed.astro';
---
<PortfolioGalleryBoxed />Built from Portfolio Gallery Boxed's own prop signature and the path the CLI installs it to, so it can't drift from either.

Theming
This component paints from 6 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-700primary-950Get 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 Portfolio Gallery Boxed?
Run velocityx add portfolio-gallery-boxed . The CLI writes the source straight into your project — it is not a runtime package dependency.
Do I need a licence for Portfolio Gallery Boxed?
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 Portfolio Gallery Boxed 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 Portfolio Gallery Boxed ship JavaScript to my users?
Yes. It runs in the browser and uses matchMedia, IntersectionObserver, so it needs to hydrate — in Astro, give it a client:* directive.
Will Portfolio Gallery Boxed match my brand colours?
Yes. It paints entirely from your theme scale — 6 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 Portfolio Gallery Boxed accessible?
It ships ARIA roles (region, tablist), 2 ARIA attributes, its own keyboard handling, deliberate focus management. That is read directly from the source rather than claimed — you should still test it in the context you drop it into.
Does Portfolio Gallery Boxed work on mobile?
It carries its own responsive rules at the sm, md, lg, xl, 2xl breakpoints, so it re-flows rather than relying on the page around it to do the work.
Does Portfolio Gallery Boxed 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.
