# Stagger Cascade
A responsive grid of tile cards that fades and travels into place with an evenly spaced per-item GSAP stagger. The ordered cascade is the only visual mechanic.
**Stagger Cascade**
```html stagger-cascade.html
Stagger Cascade
```
Copy npx hyperframes add stagger-cascade to the clipboard
That writes one file: `compositions/components/stagger-cascade.html`.
## Paste it into your composition
Open `compositions/components/stagger-cascade.html` and copy what is inside into your own composition.
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 |
| - | - | - | - |
| `itemCount` | `6` | 3 to 12, step 1 | Number of tiles in the responsive grid. |
| `stagger` | `60` | 20ms to 150ms, step 1ms | Delay between consecutive tile entrances. |
| `direction` | `up` | `up`, `down`, `left`, `right` | Direction each tile travels into its resting position. |
Set them with `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:
```html wrap
```
{/* hf:generated-footer */}
Tagged `effects` `grid` `stagger` `entrance` `exhibit`.
