Hero

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.

Variants

Hero: Default
Hero: Default With Image
Hero: Spacing 400
Hero: Spacing 800
Hero: Spacing 1200

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 and the recommended image size is 3000 by 1000 pixels.

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`

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).

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.


{% set context fromYourYamlFile %}
- or -
{% set context = {
  "component-type": "container",
  "vf_hero_kicker": "<a href=\"JavaScript:Void(0);\">VF Hamburg</a> | Structural Biology",
  "vf_hero_heading": "About the Hentze group!",
  "vf_hero_heading_href": "JavaScript:Void(0);",
  "vf_hero_subheading": "an example of some ancillary text",

  "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.
