Composition Pattern

Card A

Card C

import { Carousel } from "@hoag/ui/components/carousel";
 
export function CarouselSection() {
  return (
    <Carousel className="w-full max-w-sm" opts={{ align: "start" }}>
      <CarouselContent>
        <CarouselItem className="basis-1/2">
          <div className="h-32 rounded-md border p-4 text-center flex items-center justify-center">
            Card A
          </div>
        </CarouselItem>
        <CarouselItem className="basis-1/2">
          <div className="h-32 rounded-md border p-4 text-center flex items-center justify-center">
            Card B
          </div>

Accessibility Checklist

Verify semantic roles and ARIA attributes for interactive behavior.
Keep keyboard navigation and focus visibility consistent in all states.
Ensure color contrast meets accessibility requirements in light and dark themes.
Provide screen reader context for dynamic state or content changes.

Testing Checklist

Add render tests for default and key variant states.
Add interaction tests for callbacks and state transitions.
Add visual regression checks for responsive and theme variations.
Cover edge states such as loading, empty, disabled, and error.

Production Tips

Wrap component logic in feature-level abstractions for domain behavior.
Keep visual variants centralized to avoid style drift across screens.
Reuse a single import path strategy for simpler refactors.
Mirror documented states in Storybook and QA checklists.
