A component has no size or duration of its own. It takes both from the composition
you paste it into.
Variables
Every one of these has a default, so the piece works untouched. Set the ones you want to change on the element:| Variable | Default | Accepts | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|
options | faster,smarter,together,everywhere | string | Comma-separated words shown by the ticker. |
final_word | together | string | Word the ticker locks on and promotes. |
accent | green | green, blue, violet | Color used for the lock flash and promoted word. |
data-variable-values on the element that mounts it. These are the
defaults, so this behaves exactly like the preview above until you change one:
<div
data-composition-id="ticker-takeover"
data-composition-src="compositions/components/ticker-takeover.html"
data-variable-values='{"options":"faster,smarter,together,everywhere","final_word":"together","accent":"green"}'
></div>

<!--
ticker-takeover: a compact ticker rolls through four to six words, locks
on the selected word with an accent flash, then promotes that word into
a full-frame headline.
Variables:
- options: comma-separated words shown by the ticker.
- final_word: the word placed last and promoted.
- accent: green, blue, or violet lock color.
Envelope (fixed IN and OUT, elastic HOLD only):
IN_BASE = 3.15s. Ticker entrance, accelerating roll, decelerating lock,
accent flash, and headline promotion.
HOLD = max(0, D - IN - OUT). The promoted word drifts subtly.
OUT_BASE = 0.45s. The promoted word fades and rises.
If D is shorter than IN_BASE + OUT_BASE, IN and OUT compress together.
Mount contract: all rendered content lives inside the template. The root
fills its host without fixed dimensions, and one paused timeline registers
under the hardcoded ticker-takeover key.
