States & interaction

Appearance, behavior and keyboard checks.

Check closed, open, highlighted, selected and disabled states where supported.
Dialogs and menus must open from the keyboard. Escape closes non-persistent overlays and returns focus to the trigger. Tooltips and hover cards must also appear on focus.
Test the example with Tab and Shift+Tab. Focus must stay visible in both themes.

API Reference

BrutalLab-specific properties. Native attributes are supported as well.

Prop	Type	Default	Description
openDelay	number	primitive default	Delay before the preview opens.

Accessibility

Rules that should remain intact when adapting the component to a product.

Hover content must be supplementary. Keep essential information available from the actual link.

Retain keyboard focus styles and test the composition with keyboard navigation.

Use className for visual customization; preserve the primitive ARIA attributes.
