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.

In an application, place the Skip Link first in the root layout. The first Tab reveals it; pressing Enter bypasses repeated navigation and moves focus to the main content.

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.

Add this component

Choose the package for your runtime. All adapters share the Lumen stylesheet. Use the matching registry command when you want a local wrapper for that framework.

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.

Attribute	Values	Default	Description
href	fragment URL	required	Targets the main-content id that receives navigation after repeated controls are bypassed.
class, className	string	""	Merges custom classes with the generated ui-* root classes.
...native attributes	HTML attributes	-	Forwards standard attributes to the root element unless the component consumes them.
