Preview
Rendered from the story the storybook (a11y) CI gate runs axe against — the preview can't show something that hasn't been verified.
Install
Two equivalent paths — the URL works in any shadcn-CLI setup; the alias works once you've registered @interlace in your components.json.

This component is at v1.3.0, first shipped in @interlace/ui 1.0.0. The version is stamped as a banner into the file the install writes, so the copy in your tree says which one you have — compare it with the number above before deciding whether to re-run the install.

The fourteen
blocks/*re-export aliases now name the release they disappear in. They previously said "removal scheduled for one release cycle after the architecture PR lands", which is not a date anyone can plan around — so the aliases were, in practice, permanent. They are now@deprecated since 1.0.0 — removed in 2.0.0, and removal will land as a breaking change with a migration note.
Import
2 named exports — pull the parts you need.
import { MIN_VIEWPORT, RelatedPosts } from '@/components/ui/patterns/related-posts';Anatomy
Extracted from the primitive's JSDoc header. The source is the only documentation that can't drift.
RelatedPosts (section — data-min-viewport=480)
├─ Typography h3 (title — "Related posts" by default)
└─ Grid cols=1 md:2 lg:3 gap=md (one ArticleCard per post)
└─ ArticleCardAPI reference
Parsed from the type declarations in the source — the same file the install writes into your tree, so this table can't drift from the component you get.
RelatedPostsProps
Also accepts every <section> attribute.
| Prop | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| title | React.ReactNode | Section heading. Default: `"Related posts"`. |
| posts | RelatedPost[] | Posts to render. One ArticleCard per entry, in order. Optional when `loading={true}`. |
| loading | boolean | When true, render a grid of `<Skeleton variant="article-card" />` placeholders (count derived from `loadingCount`, default 3) so the page reserves the eventual grid footprint while data loads. |
| loadingCount | number | How many skeleton cards to render when `loading={true}`. Default 3. |
Skeleton
Pass loading and the component renders a shape-matched <Skeleton /> in its own place — same box, so nothing reflows when the data lands. Below is the same story with loading={true}.
<MIN_VIEWPORT loading={isPending} />Accessibility
Every story for this component is rendered headlessly and checked with axe-core (wcag2aa, wcag22aa, best-practice, ACT) on every PR. That gate has no continue-on-error, so what ships has zero known violations.
What follows is what static analysis can see. Axe cannot press a key and never sees an overlay open, so the operable-without-a-mouse claim lives in Behavior instead, where the keyboard path is replayed step by step.
- Focus + keyboard behaviour
- Native element semantics — no interaction layer to get wrong.
- Focus ring (WCAG 2.2 SC 2.4.13)
- Not focusable — no focus indicator required.
- Reduced motion
- No animation to gate.
- ARIA in the source

R-rule compliance
Every primitive in @interlace/ui models to the portable 26-rule floor enforced by the componentApi ESLint preset. The cells below pin exactly where each rule applies in this file.
| Rule | Concept | Where |
|---|---|---|
| R4 | Extends native el | `React.ComponentProps<'section'> & RelatedPostsProps` |
| R6 | data-slot on root | `data-slot="related-posts"` |
| R7 | className merged + ...rest | `cn(BASE, className)` + `{...props}` |
| R8 | No `isXxx`; no boolean variants | n/a — composition-only block, no variants |
| R10 | Composition seam | `title` slot + `posts` array mapped into ArticleCard |
| R14 | Declares min viewport | `data-min-viewport={String(MIN_VIEWPORT)}` + exported const |
| R18 | Tailwind only | Zero inline `style`; utility classes + primitives |
| R19 | Tokens only | Spacing via `--spacing-*` (gap-md / mb-md), no raw px |
| R20 | AA contrast | Heading + card surfaces use semantic tokens (AA-cleared) |
| R25 | Server component | No hooks → no `'use client'` |
| R26 | A11y from native el | `<section>` landmark; heading carries the accessible name |
Minimum viewport
This primitive declares MIN_VIEWPORT = 480 CSS px (DESIGN_PRINCIPLES #14). When mounted in a container narrower than this, the preflight contract draws a dev-mode outline so the regression is visible during local development.
<body data-interlace-dev>...</body>
Add the data-interlace-dev attribute to the body in development builds only — preflight then outlines any primitive whose container is below its declared data-min-viewport.

/**
* @interlace/ui — RelatedPosts
*
* "Keep reading" surface that sits at the foot of an article page (or any
* long-form route). Renders an h3 section heading followed by a responsive
* grid of ArticleCards: one column on phones, two from `md` up, three from
* `lg` up — the same 1/2/3 cadence the homepage feed uses, so a reader who
* scrolls between an article tail and the index sees the same rhythm.
*
* The block is intentionally a pure composition over `ArticleCard` (the
* stacked grid tile): every metric this block could surface (date, kicker, summary)
* already lives on ArticleCard's props, so this file owns ONLY the heading,
* the grid, and the field mapping from the editorial-friendly post shape
