Framework usage

Switch targets to compare the adapter code. This live preview runs the Astro example. React and Elements use their own behavior APIs; complete the matching framework setup before copying an example.

API reference

Lumen-specific props and runtime attributes for the Astro primitive. Use the framework differences above and the copyable examples for React composition and Elements attributes; the public adapter types define their supported contracts.
