# Drag Compare Slider[PRO](/pricing)

Before and after comparison where a pointer-driven handle clips the earlier photograph over the later one, with pill labels on both corners and a ruled row of outcome figures beneath.

## Reveal6: Drag Compare Slider

A true before and after: two photographs stacked in one frame with a draggable divider between them, labelled pills in the top corners, and a ruled row of facts underneath.

Upgrade to Pro

Pro blocks install through the shadcn CLI with your license key and ship their full source. Docs and live previews stay open to everyone, so you can read every block's details first.

### Installation

Swap `YOUR_EMAIL` and `YOUR_KEY` for the email and license key on your account. Find your license key on your [account page](/account).

**Radix flavor**

bashCopy

```
npx shadcn add "https://ui.beste.co/r/reveal6?email=YOUR_EMAIL&license_key=YOUR_KEY"
```

**Base UI flavor**

bashCopy

```
npx shadcn add "https://ui.beste.co/r-base/reveal6?email=YOUR_EMAIL&license_key=YOUR_KEY"
```

This installs the block to `components/beste/block/reveal6.tsx` plus the `badge7` eyebrow it uses.

### Quick start

The installed file exports `reveal6Demo` alongside the block: the exact props behind the preview above. Spread it to get a working comparison in one line.

tsxCopy

```
import { Reveal6, reveal6Demo } from "@/components/beste/block/reveal6";

export default function Page() {
  return <Reveal6 {...reveal6Demo} />;
}
```

Then replace the demo with your own props. Written out, a trimmed setup looks like this:

tsxCopy

```
import { Reveal6 } from "@/components/beste/block/reveal6";

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <Reveal6
      badge={{ label: "Before and after" }}
      heading="Drag the line and watch nine years disappear."
      description="The building did not change. The way you find your way around it did."
      startPosition={50}
      before={{ src: "/case/before.jpg", alt: "Bare concrete stairwell", label: "Before" }}
      after={{ src: "/case/after.jpg", alt: "Wayfinding signage in place", label: "After" }}
      facts={[
        { title: "Components in the kit", value: "11" },
        { title: "Signs installed", value: "1,400" },
      ]}
      labels={{ handleLabel: "Drag to compare" }}
    />
  );
}
```

### Behavior notes

* The reveal is a `clip-path: inset()` on the before layer rather than a width change, so neither photograph is ever squashed: both stay `object-cover` at full frame size while only the visible slice changes.
* Dragging works anywhere in the frame, not only on the handle: `onPointerDown` captures the pointer on the container, so a fast drag that leaves the box still tracks until release.
* `touch-none` is set on the frame, which is what stops a touch drag from scrolling the page instead of moving the divider.
* The handle is a `role="slider"` button with `aria-valuemin`, `aria-valuemax` and a live `aria-valuenow`, and arrow keys nudge it in four percent steps, so the comparison is operable without a pointer.
* Both labels are always visible in the top corners, one light and one dark, so the reader knows which side is which before touching anything.
* `startPosition` is only the initial value: the component owns the position from then on, so passing a new one does not fight the user's drag.
* The frame switches ratio rather than height (`aspect-[16/10]` becoming `md:aspect-[2/1]`), keeping the pair cinematic on desktop without a letterbox strip on a phone.
