# Hero Component

 Hero components create eye-catching, full-width sections that introduce your page or product with compelling visuals and messaging. Built with semantic HTML and flexible layouts, hero sections set the tone for user engagement. The Frutjam hero system supports multiple backgrounds, overlays, and responsive alignments—ideal for landing pages, product launches, and prominent announcements.

| Class        | Type     | Description                                    |
| ------------ | -------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
| hero         | Base     | Full-width section with centered content       |
| hero-content | Modifier | Inner content area with flex layout            |
| hero-overlay | Modifier | Semi-transparent overlay for background images |

## Basic Usage

Create a simple hero section with centered text content and call-to-action.

## Hero with Overlay

Add a color overlay to hero sections with background images for improved text readability.

```html
<div class="hero min-h-screen bg-base-200">
  <div class="hero-overlay bg-opacity-60"></div>
  <div class="hero-content text-center text-on-neutral">
    <div class="max-w-md">
      <h1 class="mb-5 text-5xl font-bold">Featured Content</h1>
      <p class="mb-5">Combine gradient backgrounds with overlay effects for visual depth.</p>
      <button class="btn btn-primary">Explore</button>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>
```


## Hero Layouts

Create responsive hero sections with different content arrangements.

### Hero with Image (Content + Image)

```html
<div class="hero bg-base-200 min-h-screen">
  <div class="hero-content flex-col lg:flex-row">
    <picture>
      <source media="(max-width: 640px)" srcset="https://cdn.frutjam.com/images/photo-1.jpg?format=webp&width=320&height=240">
      <img src="https://cdn.frutjam.com/images/photo-1.jpg?format=webp&width=480&height=360" alt="Product" class="max-w-sm rounded-lg shadow-2xl" loading="lazy" />
    </picture>
    <div>
      <h1 class="text-5xl font-bold">Amazing Product</h1>
      <p class="py-6">Display product images alongside descriptive content for engaging hero sections on larger screens.</p>
      <button class="btn btn-primary">Learn More</button>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>
```


### Hero with Image (Reverse)

```html
<div class="hero bg-base-200 min-h-screen">
  <div class="hero-content flex-col lg:flex-row-reverse">
    <picture>
      <source media="(max-width: 640px)" srcset="https://cdn.frutjam.com/images/photo-2.jpg?format=webp&width=320&height=240">
      <img src="https://cdn.frutjam.com/images/photo-2.jpg?format=webp&width=480&height=360" alt="Showcase" class="max-w-sm rounded-lg shadow-2xl" loading="lazy" />
    </picture>
    <div>
      <h1 class="text-5xl font-bold">Showcase</h1>
      <p class="py-6">Reverse layout places image on the right side for alternative visual hierarchy.</p>
      <button class="btn btn-primary">View Details</button>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>
```


## Hero with Form

Combine hero sections with signup or contact forms for conversion-focused landing pages.

```html
<div class="hero bg-base-200 min-h-screen">
  <div class="hero-content flex-col lg:flex-row-reverse">
    <div class="text-center lg:text-left max-w-md">
      <h1 class="text-5xl font-bold">Subscribe Now</h1>
      <p class="py-6">Join our community and get updates on the latest features and news.</p>
    </div>
    <div class="card bg-base-100 shadow-xl shrink-0 w-full max-w-sm">
      <div class="card-content">
        <h2 class="card-title">Get Started</h2>
        <input type="email" placeholder="Enter your email" class="input input-outline w-full mb-4">
        <button class="btn btn-primary w-full">Subscribe</button>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>
```


## Hero Responsive Stacking

Hero sections automatically stack on mobile and arrange horizontally on larger screens.

```html
<div class="hero bg-base-200 min-h-screen">
  <div class="hero-content flex-col">
    <div class="text-center max-w-lg">
      <h1 class="text-4xl md:text-5xl font-bold">Responsive Hero</h1>
      <p class="py-6">This layout automatically adapts to different screen sizes for optimal viewing on all devices.</p>
      <button class="btn btn-primary">Get Started</button>
      <button class="btn btn-ghost">Learn More</button>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>
```
