Next Steps

1. Add Real Logos

Replace placeholder logo slots with actual partner/trust logos:

// In the logo showcase section
<img
  src="/images/partners/partner-1.svg"
  alt="Partner 1"
  className="h-12"
/>

2. Dynamic Navigation

Make navigation links configurable via props:

interface NavItem {
  label: string;
  href: string;
}

interface HeroProps {
  // ... existing props
  navigationItems?: NavItem[];
}

3. Add to Pinkguest Web

Import and use in pinkguest web app:

# In apps/stay_match/pinkguest/web/src/app/App.tsx
import { Hero } from '@cloudalt-frontend/ui-stay-match';

4. Test Tailwind Integration

Start the pinkguest web dev server to verify Tailwind classes work:

npx nx run pinkguest-web:serve

5. Add Hero Background Image

Place brand hero images in the new asset structure:

apps/stay_match/pinkguest/shared/assets/images/hero/
├── hero-background.png
├── hero-background@2x.png
└── hero-background@3x.png

6. Customize for Other Brands

Extend the component for orangeguest, purpleguest, etc. with brand-specific colors and content.

Performance Considerations

Bundle Size:

• Component: ~8KB (minified)
• No external dependencies beyond React
• Uses only Tailwind utilities (tree-shakeable)

Optimization:

• Email state managed locally (no unnecessary re-renders)
• Mobile menu toggle isolated to nav section
• Images should be optimized (< 300KB for hero backgrounds)

TypeScript Support

Full type safety:

import type { HeroProps } from '@cloudalt-frontend/ui-stay-match';

const props: HeroProps = {
  title: "Welcome",
  description: "Get started",
  ctaText: "Sign Up",
  onCtaPress: () => {},
  // TypeScript will catch any missing required props
};

Testing Recommendations

1. Visual Testing: Test on various screen sizes (mobile, tablet, desktop)
2. Interaction Testing: Test form submission, mobile menu toggle
3. Accessibility Testing: Use screen reader, keyboard navigation
4. Dark Mode Testing: Verify all elements visible in dark mode
5. Cross-Browser Testing: Test on Safari, Chrome, Firefox
