beta This component version is ready to be used but is still in active development.

Hero container

The vf-hero component is to be used as a visual queue and page header. As needed, it can take a kicker, heading, sub-heading, text content, and a 'call to action' link.

github location npm version

Usage

By default the vf-hero makes use of the roundels background image. To keep the raw structure of the HTML and CSS the same this is applied using a CSS custom property. The default variant is equivalent to vf-hero--1200.

Hero background images

You can bring your own image to use with the vf-hero.

  • Size: recommended image size for a typical hero is 3000 by 1000 pixels.
  • Positioning: people and other important imagery should be placed on the right side. The image will, by default, vertically centre and align to the right side.
  • Imagery: most of the image should be abstract as to not visually compete with the text in the hero box.
  • Text: do not use raster text as part of the image.
  • Consult design: the image should be made in consultation with your organisation's design team for brand alignment and input on how best to create it.

Content

Content name Usage .yml key
Heading To be used for the heading of the page. vf_hero_heading
Heading HREF To be used as a 'return to home' link for the micro site. vf_hero_heading_href
Subheading Optional content to be used along with the Heading for a terse explainer. vf_hero_subheading
Kicker Optional content that helps define the context of overall content of the page. vf_hero_kicker
Text Optional content that can help explain the page content in a brief paragraph. vf_hero_text
Link Text The text for the hero 'call to action' link. Only works if there is associated Link HREF. vf_hero_link_text
Link HREF The url that the Link Text would be pointing to and opens in the same browser tab. This only works if there is associated Link Text vf_hero_link_href
Spacing If added spacing can be any of these values only : 200, 400, 500, 600, 800, 1200, 1600 'spacing'
Content name .yml key CSS classname
Kicker vf_hero_kicker vf-hero__kicker
Heading vf_hero_heading vf-hero__heading
Heading HREF vf_hero_heading_href vf-hero__heading_link
Subheading vf_hero_subheading vf-hero__subheading
Text vf_hero_text vf-hero__text
Link Text vf_hero_link_text vf-hero__link
Link HREF vf_hero_link_href n/a

CSS Custom Properties

--vf-hero--bg-image — this is for the url for the background image. It can either be added, inline if you're writing the HTML, using the .yml data source of vf_hero_image, or by other needs (a input or upload in WordPress, for example).

---vf-hero--bg-image-size — this is to determine the sizing of the background image. As group sites are using the roundel image it needs specific dimensions so that it works. These dimensions are auto 28.5rem. We use a fallback here as background images in vf-hero should be full bleed by default so the fall back in the CSS is for cover — var(---vf-hero--bg-image-size, cover).

Internet Explorer support

IE 11 will get the background colour and the "roundels" image. Under the approach of progressive enhancement, IE 11 will not paint a different background image if added.

EMBL usage

For EMBL sites, the vf-hero can take an image (provided by Design) which should be uploaded to the files site and applied using the custom property available (--vf-hero--bg-image).

Angular

As of version 4.0.0-alpha.0 vf-hero has experimental Angular support. This package was generated with Angular version 15.2.0 and has been tested on application with Angular version 15.2.0.

Nunjucks syntax

Depending on your environment you'll want to use render or include. As a rule of thumb: server-side use include, precompiled browser use render. If you're using vf-eleventy you should use include.

Using include

You'll need to pass a context object from your code or Yaml file (example), as well as the path to the Nunjucks template. Nunjucks' include is an abstraction of render and provides some additional portability.

Depending on your environment you'll want to use render or include. As a rule of thumb: server-side use include, precompiled browser use render. If you're using vf-eleventy you should use include.

Using include

You'll need to pass a context object from your code or Yaml file (example), as well as the path to the Nunjucks template. Nunjucks' include is an abstraction of render and provides some additional portability.


{% set context fromYourYamlFile %}
- or -
{% set context = { 
"component-type" : "container",
"spacing" : 1200,
"vf_hero_heading" : "About the Hentze group!",
"vf_hero_subheading" : "an example of some ancillary text",
"vf_hero_link_text" : "Learn more",
"vf_hero_link_href" : "JavaScript:Void(0);",
"vf_hero_image_size" : "auto 28.5rem",


 }
%}
{% include "../path_to/vf-hero/vf-hero.njk" %}
                

Using render

This approach is best for bare-bones Nunjucks environments, such as precompiled templates with the Nunjucks slim runtime where include is not be available.


{% render '@vf-hero', {
  "component-type" : "container",
  "spacing" : 1200,
  "vf_hero_heading" : "About the Hentze group!",
  "vf_hero_subheading" : "an example of some ancillary text",
  "vf_hero_link_text" : "Learn more",
  "vf_hero_link_href" : "JavaScript:Void(0);",
  "vf_hero_image_size" : "auto 28.5rem",
  
  }
%}
                
Angular syntax
<vf-hero [spacing]="1200" [vf_hero_heading]="'About the Hentze group!'" [vf_hero_subheading]="'an example of some ancillary text'" [vf_hero_link_text]="'Learn more'" [vf_hero_link_href]="'JavaScript:Void(0);'" [vf_hero_image_size]="'auto 28.5rem'"></vf-hero>
                  
React syntax
<VfHero id="4" spacing="1200" vf_hero_heading="About the Hentze group!" vf_hero_subheading="an example of some ancillary text" vf_hero_link_text="Learn more" vf_hero_link_href="#" vf_hero_image_size="auto 28.5rem" />
