/**
* QuoteTestimonial — one testimonial at a time: a large serif quote that rises
* into place a word at a time, an attribution, two supporting figures, and a
* portrait that wipes in beside it.
*
* One self-contained file. No imports beyond an Astro type, no global
* stylesheet, no npm packages, no webfonts and no network requests of its own:
* the only things it loads are the portraits you pass in.
*
* The decisions that carry the weight, and why they are shaped this way:
*
* - **Every testimonial is in the document.** The controller shows one and
* hides the rest; it never fetches, never rebuilds and never destroys
* content. Without script the section is simply a list of quotes, which is
* a perfectly good testimonial section and exactly what a crawler and a
* reader with no JavaScript should get.
*
* - **The words are split at build time, and the motion is CSS.** Each word
* is wrapped in a masking span with its index on it, so the stagger is
* `calc(var(--qt-i) * 20ms)` rather than a timer per word. Nothing
* measures text at runtime, nothing writes a style per frame, and a quote
* of any length costs the same.
*
* - **The mask is the effect.** A word rises from `translateY(100%)` inside
* a clipped box, so it appears from behind its own baseline rather than
* sliding over the line above. The 0.14em of padding on the mask is what
* stops descenders being shaved off — a `g` or a `y` is below the line box
* and would otherwise be clipped flat.
*
* - **Reduced motion removes the motion, not the content.** The words are
* already in place, the portrait does not wipe, and changing testimonial
* is a swap. What it must never do is leave the quote at opacity 0, which
* is what a naive "turn off the animation" does to an effect whose resting
* state is invisible.
*
* Several instances can share a page: every query is scoped to the instance
* root, ids are minted per instance, and all state lives in the controller's
* closure.

# Quote testimonial
One testimonial at a time. A large serif quote rises into place a word at a
time beside a portrait that wipes in with it, under an eyebrow, over an
attribution and two supporting figures.
Catalog page: `/components/quote-testimonial`
## Purpose
For the single testimonial a page can afford to give real room to — the one
with a name, a face and a number attached. It cycles on its own, one voice at a
time, and stops the moment you put a pointer on it or tab into it.
Use something else for a wall of short quotes. This design spends its space on
one, and three of these stacked would be a page of nothing but praise.
## Files required
**`QuoteTestimonial.astro`** — one file, the whole component.
- No imports except `import type { ImageMetadata } from "astro"`, which is a
type and disappears at build time.
- No npm packages, no animation library, no React, no Tailwind, no CSS reset.
- No global stylesheet. Every colour, size and duration is declared on the
component's own root element as a `--qt-*` custom property, so it inherits
nothing from the host page and leaks nothing back.
- No webfonts and **no network requests of its own**. The only things it loads
are the portraits you pass in.
- The only assumption about the host is that Astro compiles `.astro` files.
`QuoteTestimonial.md` — this file. Documentation, not required to run.
The catalog demo uses five portraits in `public/quote-testimonial/`, passed with
its demo testimonials from the registry's demo `props` — none of them is built
into the component.
## Basic usage
```astro
---
import QuoteTestimonial from "../components/QuoteTestimonial.astro";
import portrait from "../assets/marguerite.jpg";
---
<QuoteTestimonial
eyebrow="In their words"
label="What our clients say"
items={[
{
quote: "We arrived with a brief rewritten four times. They read it once and we began again.",
name: "Marguerite Okonjo",
role: "Director of Brand, Halden & Rowe",
src: portrait,
alt: "Marguerite Okonjo",
stats: [
{ value: "6 weeks", label: "brief to launch" },
{ value: "2x", label: "enquiries in the first month" },
],
},
]}
/>
```
No client directive, no wrapper, no init call — the component ships its own
module script and boots itself.
It paints its own background and reaches both edges, so give it the full width
of the page.
## Props
Everything has a default, and none of the defaults is a testimonial. With no
`items` — or none with a non-empty `quote` — it renders **nothing at all**, not
even the eyebrow. It never supplies a placeholder quote, name or figure.
| Prop | Type | Default | What it does |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| `items` | `QuoteTestimonialItem[]?` | `[]` | The testimonials, in order. |
| `eyebrow` | `string?` | `"In their words"` | The small label above the quote. |
| `label` | `string?` | `"Testimonials"` | Accessible name for the section. |
| `previousLabel` | `string?` | `"Previous testimonial"` | Accessible name for the back control. |
| `nextLabel` | `string?` | `"Next testimonial"` | Accessible name for the forward control. |
| `loop` | `boolean?` | `true` | Whether the last testimonial wraps to the first. With it off, the controls disable at the ends. |
| `autoplay` | `boolean?` | `true` | Advance on its own. Suppressed entirely under reduced motion. |
| `interval` | `number?` | `2200` | Milliseconds each testimonial holds, measured start to start. Clamped to `1200`–`20000`. |
| `showPauseControl` | `boolean?` | `true` | Render the play/pause control. Only shown when autoplay can actually run. |
| `pauseLabel` | `string?` | `"Pause the testimonials"` | Accessible name for that control. `aria-pressed` carries the state, so the name does not change. |
| `class` | `string?` | — | Extra class on the root, for project-specific layout. |
| `id` | `string?` | — | Element id. Also seeds the internal ids instead of a random value. |
### One testimonial
| Field | Type | What it does |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| `quote` | `string` | The testimonial. Split into words at build time for the reveal. |
| `name` | `string` | Who said it. |
| `role` | `string?` | Their role, company, or both. |
| `src` | `string \| ImageMetadata?` | Portrait. Omitted, the frame renders as an empty tinted panel. A `javascript:` or `vbscript:` value renders no image at all. |
| `alt` | `string?` | Alternative text. Omitted or empty marks the portrait decorative. |
| `stats` | `{ value, label }[]?` | Up to two supporting figures. A third is dropped rather than allowed to break the row. |
```ts
import type { QuoteTestimonialProps, QuoteTestimonialItem } from "../components/QuoteTestimonial.astro";
```
### No slots
The quote is split into words at build time, which means the component has to
own the text rather than take arbitrary markup. A slot would either skip the
reveal or try to walk somebody else's DOM.
## Behaviour
| Input | What happens |
| :--- | :--- |
| Nothing | It advances every `interval`, wrapping at the end. |
| Pointer over it, or focus inside it | The cycle holds, and resumes when you leave. |
| The pause control | Holds it until pressed again. `aria-pressed` carries the state. |
| Switching tabs | The cycle stops and resumes with the document. |
| **Next** / **Previous** | Changes testimonial and restarts the clock, so a manual step is never landed on by an advance. |
| <kbd>←</kbd> / <kbd>→</kbd> with focus inside the section | The same, without reaching for the buttons. |
| Reaching either end | Wraps, unless `loop` is off, in which case the control disables. |
| Any change | The figures count up from zero; the labels swap at once. |
| Any change | Announced to assistive technology as "Testimonial 3 of 5, *name*". |
### The reveal
Each word is wrapped at build time in a masking span carrying its index, so the
whole effect is two CSS rules and a keyframe:
- a word starts a full line plus the mask's padding below its resting place, at
`opacity: 0`;
- it rises over **680ms** on `cubic-bezier(0.16, 1, 0.3, 1)`;
- each word starts **20ms** after the one before it.
Nothing is measured at runtime and nothing is written per frame. A quote of
forty words costs what a quote of four costs.
The mask is the part worth understanding. `overflow: hidden` on the wrapper is
what makes a word appear from behind its own line rather than slide over the
line above — and the `0.14em` of padding on that wrapper, cancelled by an equal
negative margin, is what stops the clip shaving the tails off every `g`, `j`,
`p`, `q` and `y`.
### The portrait
The incoming portrait is revealed by a clip running across it over **1000ms** on
`cubic-bezier(0.62, 0, 0.25, 1)` — almost still at both ends and very quick
through the middle, which is what makes it read as a sweep rather than a fade.
The outgoing portrait is held underneath for exactly that long, and the clip
runs on the whole incoming **layer** rather than on the picture inside it. Both
halves of that matter. Hide the old one first and the new one is revealed over
an empty panel; clip only the picture and the new layer's own panel — opaque,
and on top — covers the old picture just as thoroughly. Either way you get a cut
followed by a wipe instead of one picture sweeping over another.
The old portrait is `aria-hidden` while it waits, so only one of the two is ever
the testimonial's. The rounding and the shadow sit on the container while the
frames are stacked, so the wipe's leading edge stays straight — clipping a
rounded frame would round the moving edge too, and the new picture would appear
to slide in as a card rather than sweep across.
**The first portrait does not wipe.** A wipe is one picture replacing another,
and on the first paint there is nothing to replace — played there it reads as a
loading state rather than a transition. The opening portrait is simply present;
every one after it arrives over the one before. The quote still rises on that
first paint, because that is the testimonial arriving rather than one
testimonial replacing another.
The wipe's length lives in `--qt-wipe-duration` and the controller reads it
back, so retuning the token moves the hand-off with it.
### The figures
Each figure counts up from zero over **860ms** on an ease-out of about the 1.5
power — between a straight line and a quadratic, so it slows into place without
the long crawl a cubic would give it. The labels underneath do not animate;
they swap with the rest of the card.
Only the number moves. `2.8x` keeps its `x`, `£0` keeps its symbol in front and
`6 weeks` keeps the word after it, because the value is split into prefix,
number and suffix when it is rendered. A figure with no number in it at all is
simply printed.
Decimals come from what you wrote: `2.8` ticks through one decimal place and
`42` through none, so a figure never shows more precision on the way up than it
does when it lands. The final frame restores your exact string rather than
formatting one, so grouping and rounding can never drift.
## Accessibility
- The section is a landmark with an accessible name, each testimonial is a
`<figure>`, the quote is a `<blockquote>` and the attribution is a
`<figcaption>`. The figures are a `<dl>`.
- Two real `<button>` elements, 40×40, with accessible names. They are the only
tab stops.
- <kbd>←</kbd> and <kbd>→</kbd> work while focus is inside the section.
- **Changes you asked for are announced.** A polite live region says which
testimonial is showing and who it is by. It is silent at boot, and silent on
automatic advances: announcing a new quote every couple of seconds, unasked,
would make the region unusable. Focus pauses the cycle, so a reader who tabs
in is not read a moving target.
- **The cycle can be stopped.** A real `<button>` with `aria-pressed`, plus
pause on hover and on focus. Content that moves on its own indefinitely needs
a way to stop it; the reference has none.
- The hidden testimonials carry `hidden`, so they are out of the accessibility
tree and out of the tab order — not merely invisible.
- Focus rings are drawn outside the controls, where nothing clips them.
## Reduced motion
Under `prefers-reduced-motion: reduce` **it does not advance on its own at
all** — the pause control is not rendered either, because there is nothing to
pause. The words are simply in place, the figures are simply at their value,
the portrait does not wipe, and changing testimonial by hand is a swap.
The important half of that is the resting state. This effect's natural rest is
`opacity: 0` — switching the animation off without also restoring opacity would
hide every quote from exactly the readers who asked for less movement. The
stylesheet restores both opacity and transform, and it is checked.
## Without JavaScript
Every testimonial renders, in order, one after another. The section becomes a
list of quotes, which is a perfectly good testimonial section.
- The words are at full opacity and untransformed. The hidden state is applied
only under `[data-qt-ready]`, which the controller sets.
- The figures are the values you wrote. They are rendered into the markup and
the controller counts up **to** them, rather than being written by script —
so with no script they are simply correct.
- The controls are not rendered at all — `hidden`, and `display: none` besides,
so they cannot be focused or reached by <kbd>Tab</kbd>.
- No horizontal overflow.
## Content length
- **Quote** — 15 to 30 words. It is set large by design; at about 40 the column
runs taller than the portrait beside it and the two stop reading as a pair.
- **Role** — one line. It wraps rather than truncating.
- **Stat value** — three or four characters. `6 weeks` fits; a sentence does
not.
- **Stat label** — three or four words, and it wraps under its figure.
## Sizing
Two columns of `570px` and `430px` with a `72px` gap above 940px; one column
below it, portrait first. The quote runs from 42px down to 28px, the figures
from 40px down, both on container queries against the section rather than the
viewport — so it behaves the same dropped into a narrower column.
Retune from CSS without touching the file:
```css
.my-section .quote-testimonial {
--qt-ground: #fff;
--qt-accent: #3a2a7c;
--qt-quote-size: clamp(1.5rem, 3cqi, 2.25rem);
--qt-word-stagger: 34ms; /* a slower read */
--qt-radius: 0;
}
```
## Differences from the reference
Rebuilt from a Framer page, measured rather than copied. The grid, the type
scale, the palette, the frame and the timing of the reveal are all matched to
measurements of the original. What differs:
- **The copy and the portraits are original.** Nothing of the reference's text
or imagery is reproduced; the demo portraits are abstract figures drawn for
this library.
- **It is responsive on container queries**, and the type is fluid between the
two ends rather than switching at one breakpoint.
- **Changes are announced.** The reference swaps the quote silently, so a
screen reader user pressing *next* is told nothing at all.
- **Arrow keys work.** The reference offers the two buttons and nothing else.
- **It works without script**, as a list of quotes. The reference renders one
testimonial and no way to reach the others.
- **It can be paused.** The reference cycles indefinitely with no control, no
pause on hover and no pause on focus.
- The reference sets its quote in Noto Serif and its supporting text in Inter,
both webfonts. This uses the platform serif and system stack, because a
component in this library fetches nothing.
- The reference's first word begins about 75ms after the click; this one starts
at about 30ms. The gap is framework overhead on their side rather than a
designed delay, so it was not reproduced.

--- VERIFIED IN THE COMPONENT LIBRARY ---
Production-ready in the library.
Verified 2026-09-17 at 1440, 1280, 1024, 940, 834, 768, 640, 390, 320px.
Passed: full-page context, keyboard, no javascript, reduced motion, two instances, no overflow, declarations corroborated, lifecycle.
Library source fingerprint: sha256:4ecb93a29df86e9d70b83ac337a8e3e3ea9403cd14469b39b8d77abd034d3dbd — MATCHES the files below.
--- NOT PROVEN ---
- Nothing outstanding in the library's own checks.
--- WHAT THIS DOES NOT CERTIFY ---
Verification was performed on the unmodified component, in an isolated fixture, in the
library. It says nothing about this project's CSS, routes, layout or data, and nothing
about the component once you adapt it. A verified component is a good starting point,
not a guarantee about the installation you are about to build.
--- TEST IN THIS PROJECT AFTER INSTALLING OR CUSTOMISING ---
- Horizontal overflow at 1440, 1280, 1024, 834, 390 and 320px.
- Keyboard operation end to end, including visible focus.
- The no-JavaScript render.
- prefers-reduced-motion: reduce.
- Two instances on one page, if this project renders more than one.
- If this project uses <ClientRouter />: teardown and reinitialisation across a real navigation.
