# Brok UI block: Dot Matrix Board (`dot-matrix-board`)

A retro LED display-board hero section built around an animated dot-matrix screen, with an eyebrow badge, headline, live status chips and call-to-action buttons.

Brok UI is a Laravel Blade registry. `ui:add` copies this block into the app as plain Blade the app owns; it composes installed `<brok:*>` primitives and semantic design tokens.

## Install

```bash
php artisan ui:add blocks/dot-matrix-board
```

## Render it

```blade
<x-blocks.dot-matrix-board />
```

## Props

- `eyebrow` (string, default `Now live`)
- `heading` (string, default `Ship status, in lights.`)
- `subheading` (string, default `A retro LED display board that puts your headline metric front and centre — animated, themeable, and reduced-motion safe out of the box.`)
- `primary-label` (string, default `Get started`)
- `primary-href` (string, default `#`)
- `secondary-label` (string, default `View the docs`)
- `secondary-href` (string, default `#`)

## Use when

- Opening a marketing page with a retro LED dot-matrix display board as the visual centrepiece of the hero.
- Pairing the animated screen with an eyebrow badge, headline and dual call-to-action buttons.

## Avoid when

- Use hero-centered or another hero-* item for a hero without a decorative LED-board animation.

## Rules

- Render the installed block with `<x-blocks.dot-matrix-board />` and pass data through its props; edit the copied file only for structural changes.
- Keep the semantic design tokens (`bg-background`, `text-muted-foreground`); never swap in raw colour utilities.
- Keep the `data-slot` attributes and the logical (start/end) spacing so the markup still mirrors under `dir="rtl"`.

Guidance

Use when

Opening a marketing page with a retro LED dot-matrix display board as the visual centrepiece of the hero.
Pairing the animated screen with an eyebrow badge, headline and dual call-to-action buttons.

Avoid when

Use hero-centered or another hero-* item for a hero without a decorative LED-board animation.

Anti-patterns

Do not replace semantic props with conflicting utility classes.
Do not remove labels, focus styles, or state attributes.

Anatomy: root board-pulse board-screen

Usage

Render the block as a component, passing data where useful:

resources/views/welcome.blade.php Blade

<x-blocks.dot-matrix-board />

Built from primitives

Composes <brok:*> Semantic tokens Re-themeable RTL-ready

This block composes installed <brok:*> primitives and semantic design tokens only — it does not reimplement any primitive. Re-theme it (light, dark, admin, customer) by editing CSS variables; flip the preview to RTL to confirm it mirrors.
