# Brok UI: Hero Video Dialog (`hero-video-dialog`)
An immersive thumbnail card with a centered play button that opens an accessible modal lightbox with the embedded video and an optional sound toggle.
Brok UI is a Laravel Blade component registry. Installed components are plain Blade files the app owns.
## Install
```bash
php artisan ui:add hero-video-dialog
```
## Usage
```blade
<div class="w-full flex justify-center px-4 py-8">
<x-ui.hero-video-dialog title="Watch the product tour" />
</div>
```
## Props
- `videoSrc` (string, default `https:`) — Embed URL for the video played inside the lightbox.
- `thumbnailSrc` (mixed|null, default `null`) — Poster image shown on the closed card before the dialog opens.
- `thumbnailAlt` (string, default `Video thumbnail`) — Accessible alt text for the thumbnail image.
- `soundSrc` (mixed|null, default `null`) — Optional separate audio track URL; when set, a mute/unmute toggle is rendered alongside the video.
- `enableSound` (bool, default `true`) — Whether the separate audio track starts unmuted; only relevant when soundSrc is set.
- `title` (string, default `Watch the product tour`) — Accessible label for the play button and the opened dialog.
## Use when
- Use when image or video selection, preview, or media-based comparison is part of the task.
- Presenting a promotional or product-tour video behind an immersive thumbnail card that opens into a focused lightbox on click.
- Wanting a lightweight sound toggle for a separate ambient audio track alongside a muted background video.
## Avoid when
- Do not require media-heavy interaction when a simpler text or list solution would be faster.
- The video should play inline as part of the page content; embed the video player directly instead of behind a dialog.
- The content is not a single hero video; use dialog directly for a general-purpose modal.
## Anti-patterns
- Requiring media-heavy interaction when text is faster
## Rules
- Use the `<brok:hero-video-dialog>` tag (or `<x-ui.hero-video-dialog>`) in Blade; do not rewrite the component.
- Prefer the documented props and variants over utility-class overrides; when a utility must win, use the `!` important modifier.
- Use semantic design tokens (`bg-primary`, `text-muted-foreground`), never raw colour utilities.
- Keep the `data-slot` attributes; they are the styling and test hooks.

Slots

Data slots
Stable hooks for CSS overrides and browser tests.
Behavior
- Clicking the thumbnail card opens the video inside a focused, close-button-dismissable dialog with focus trapping, scroll lock, and focus restoration on close.
- The lightbox is the dialog primitive (composed with overlay="blur", padding="none", size="xl"); the iframe src is set in the dialog's onOpen hook and cleared in onClose, so the video only loads and plays while the lightbox is open.
- When soundSrc is provided, a mute toggle controls a separate looping audio element that plays alongside the video, independent of the embedded video's own audio.
- Installs a JavaScript behavior module when the registry item includes resources/js/ui files.
- Declares registry capability flags: a11y, interactive, responsive, rtl, darkMode, localized.

- The content is not a single hero video; use dialog directly for a general-purpose modal.
Use instead
- Text or list representation
Anti-patterns
- Requiring media-heavy interaction when text is faster
- Anatomy
- Theming hooks
Accessibility
- Keyboard
- Tab Escape
- Focus
native
- The dialog traps focus, closes on Escape or its close button, and restores focus to the thumbnail trigger when it closes.
- The mute toggle uses aria-pressed and a live aria-label that switches between Mute and Unmute, so its state is announced correctly.
- Semantic HTML and a stable
data-slotattribute for styling and scripting hooks. - Focus-visible rings use the
ringtoken, so keyboard focus is always visible. - Disabled and invalid states are conveyed to assistive tech, not by color alone.
- Targets WCAG 2.2 AA; verify contrast in light, dark, admin and customer surfaces in the preview.
- Labels go through
__()and layout uses logical properties (ms-*,text-start), so it mirrors underdir="rtl"— flip the preview to RTL to confirm. - Dark mode uses the same semantic tokens under the
darkclass; high contrast follows forced-color system tokens.
Livewire
Add a stable wire:key when Livewire can reorder this interactive component.
<div wire:key="hero-video-dialog-{{ $record->id }}">
<div class="w-full flex justify-center px-4 py-8">
<x-ui.hero-video-dialog title="Watch the product tour" />
</div>
</div>
Validation
Validation support: native. Keep the error message connected with aria-describedby.
<form wire:submit="save" class="space-y-2">
<brok:hero-video-dialog
wire:model="value"
:aria-invalid="$errors->has('value') ? 'true' : 'false'"
aria-describedby="value-error"
/>
@error('value')
<p id="value-error" role="alert">{{ $message }}</p>
@enderror
<brok:button type="submit" wire:loading.attr="disabled">

Hero Video Dialog — an immersive thumbnail card with a centered circular play
button that opens a modal lightbox containing the embedded video. Mirrors
magicui's HeroVideoDialog, adapted to our tokens. The lightbox is
<x-ui.dialog> with the `blur` overlay, no panel inset and the `xl` width:
focus trap, Escape/backdrop/close-button dismissal, scroll lock, the inert
sweep and focus return all come from the dialog. This item only owns the
thumbnail trigger, the iframe `src` lifecycle (set in the dialog's `onOpen`
hook, cleared in `onClose` so playback stops) and the optional sound toggle
(rendered only when `soundSrc` is provided). Behaviour lives in
`uiHeroVideo` (resources/js/ui/hero-video-dialog.js).
Every transition is gated on `motion-safe:` and neutralised by
`motion-reduce:transition-none`, so the lightbox appears instantly for a
visitor who asked for reduced motion.

/**
* Hero Video Dialog behaviour (immersive thumbnail → modal lightbox).
*
* The trigger is a thumbnail card with a centered play button. Activating it
* opens a modal lightbox containing an embedded <iframe> video. The lightbox
* is the dialog item (`<x-ui.dialog>` in the Blade): focus management, the
* Tab trap, Escape/backdrop/close-button dismissal, scroll lock, the inert
* sweep and focus return are all its job. This component owns the video:
* - the dialog's `onOpen` hook calls `startVideo()`, which sets the iframe
* `src` (with autoplay) once the panel is laid out, so the video only
* loads while the lightbox is open;
* - the dialog's `onClose` hook calls `stopVideo()`, which clears the `src`
* so playback (and audio) stops and the connection is freed.
*
* When a sound source is configured, an <audio> ref is played on open (if sound
* is enabled) and a mute/unmute toggle controls it. With no sound source the
* markup omits the audio element and toggle entirely.
*
* `init()` adds no global listeners. `destroy()` pauses audio so unmounting
* mid-playback can't leak sound; the dialog releases its own locks.
*
* Self-registers on `alpine:init` so import order does not matter — import this
* file once from your bundle (e.g. resources/js/ui/index.js).
*
* Note: this file is plain JS served by the registry — no Blade syntax allowed.
