# Advertisement

A React component in [Beamline](https://beamline.io/)'s [Content & display](https://beamline.io/components/display) category. Live demo: https://beamline.io/components/advertisement

A sponsor or promo slot that turns through its ads on a hairline that fills; hovering or focusing holds the current ad.

## Use it for

- A labelled promo or partner slot in a sidebar, feed or empty panel.
- Rotating a few in-product announcements that link out.

## Not for

- Release notes or news inside the app ([announcement-bar](https://beamline.io/components/announcement-bar) or [changelog-feed](https://beamline.io/components/changelog-feed)).
- Anything the person must act on ([alert](https://beamline.io/components/alert) or [toast](https://beamline.io/components/toast)).

## Anatomy

- slot (aside, labelled)
- ad link: mark, name with ↗, disclosure label, copy
- timer line (only with several ads)

## States

- single ad
- rotating
- held (hover or focus)
- paused (off screen or hidden tab)

## Keyboard

- Tab reaches the ad link; focus holds the rotation until focus leaves
- Enter opens the ad in a new tab

## Motion

The line fills linearly over `interval`; the next ad crossfades with a 4px rise and a 2px blur (standard, 200 ms). Reduced motion: the ad swaps at once; the line still shows the time left.

## Props

| Prop | Type | Default | Description |
