We want to highlight something on the homepage as important.

When to Use

This hero component can only be added to the top of the homepage.

Formatting

This hero sits outside of the page's article element.

The background and foreground images are dynamic, so they must be set in the HTML with inline styling. In order to enable responsive, dynamic backgrounds, these rules must be added inline:

  • background-image: url("This should be the url to the full sized image to be used as a fallback");
  • --bg-image: url("This should be the url to the full sized image");
  • --mbg-image: url("This should be the url to the mobile sized image");

By setting the CSS variables inline, we can allow users to set the background images while still making use of background property rules in CSS. The foreground image is similar, but does not have a mobile version so it does not use the CSS variables.
