Framework example

Choose Astro, React, or Elements to compare native usage against the shared visual output. Each example assumes the framework-level setup is already complete.

AstroSame visual contract, native framework API
Aurora

Readable content stays above the ambient layer.

Dots

Readable content stays above the ambient layer.

Grid

Readable content stays above the ambient layer.

Rays

Readable content stays above the ambient layer.

Framework usage

Switch targets to compare the adapter code. The preview stays visually stable because all three packages share the same tokens and ui-* class contract.

API reference

Lumen-specific props and runtime attributes for the Astro primitive. React props follow the same names; Elements use equivalent kebab-case attributes where custom elements expose them.

AttributeValuesDefaultDescription
variant"aurora" | "dots" | "grid" | "rays""aurora"Selects the ambient background pattern.
tone"brand" | "accent" | "neutral""brand"Uses a semantic Lumen color for the pattern.
intensity"subtle" | "medium" | "strong""medium"Controls decoration opacity without fading child content.
childrenrendered contentrequiredKeeps meaningful content above the decorative layer.
class, classNamestring""Merges custom classes with the generated ui-* root classes.
...native attributesHTML attributes-Forwards standard attributes to the root element unless the component consumes them.
