LinkPreviewCard

Core

A rich, presentational link-preview card (unfurled URL / bookmark block).

import { LinkPreviewCard } from "@elabs-ai/components-ui";
Install
npm install @elabs-ai/components-tokens @elabs-ai/components-ui

Skipping the @source line is the most common first failure: Tailwind does not scan node_modules, so every component renders unstyled. The one-time wiring

Add the brand-ui LinkPreviewCard component (from @elabs-ai/components-ui) to this project.

1. Read https://elabs-ai.com/llms.txt first: it maps every package and the rules. If you can use MCP servers, connect https://elabs-ai.com/mcp and use its search, docs and tokens tools. If not, run the same lookups in the terminal: `npx -y @elabs-ai/components-cli search "<what you need>"` and `npx -y @elabs-ai/components-cli docs <Component>`.
2. Look LinkPreviewCard up before writing code: `npx -y @elabs-ai/components-cli docs LinkPreviewCard` prints its real props, variants, what it pairs with and what to avoid.
3. If @elabs-ai/components-ui is not installed yet: `pnpm add @elabs-ai/components-tokens @elabs-ai/components-ui` (or `npm install @elabs-ai/components-tokens @elabs-ai/components-ui`). If this is the first brand-ui package in the project, wire it once: import `@elabs-ai/components-tokens/styles.css` plus the `themes/light.css` and `themes/dark.css` stylesheets in the CSS entry, add one Tailwind `@source` line per installed @elabs-ai package (Tailwind does not scan node_modules, so without it everything renders unstyled), and wrap the app root in `ThemeProvider` from `@elabs-ai/components-tokens`.
4. Use it here: [the screen or file, and what it should show]
5. Rules: use only @elabs-ai/components-* components and the semantic tokens — no raw colours, no raw font sizes, no arbitrary Tailwind values. Look up each component's real props with the docs tool before you use it; never guess a prop.
6. Done means: the typecheck passes, `npx -y @elabs-ai/components-cli audit src --strict` reports nothing, and you have opened the app and looked at every screen you touched in the light and the dark theme.

LinkPreviewCard

PropTypeDescription
titlestringPage title — the primary text, 1–2 lines.
descriptionstringShort description / Open-Graph description. Omit for title+domain only.
imagestringAbsolute URL of the thumbnail image (consumer-provided; the library never fetches). Decorative — `alt` is always `""`. Omit to hide the thumbnail area cleanly (no broken-image placeholder).
domainstringDomain label shown with the globe icon, e.g. `"github.com"`. Wrapped in `translate="no"` so browsers never auto-translate identifiers.
hrefstringWhen set, the entire card becomes a keyboard-focusable link (stretched-link pattern). The visible focus ring is placed on the card via `focus-within`. Prefer a full absolute URL so the `<a>` is meaningful.
loadingbooleanRender skeleton placeholders in lieu of real content. Sets `aria-busy="true"` on the card root so assistive technology knows the content is pending.
