# Arrow Button

> The classic marketing-site hover arrow done properly: a chevron at rest, then on hover the stem draws in behind it and the tip slides forward. Five variants (including link), three sizes, four directions, and renders an anchor when given href. CSS only.

## Install

One-time setup (needs a subscription):

1. Add the registry to the project's `components.json`: `{"@assembli":{"url":"https://www.assembli.design/r/{name}.json","headers":{"Authorization":"Bearer ${ASSEMBLI_API_KEY}"}}}` (merge into `"registries"`).
2. Put an API key from https://www.assembli.design/account in `.env.local` as `ASSEMBLI_API_KEY=asm_…`.

Then install with the shadcn CLI (writes `components/arrow-button/arrow-button.tsx` and installs dependencies):

```bash
npx shadcn@latest add @assembli/arrow-button
```

Registry item JSON: https://www.assembli.design/r/arrow-button.json (send `Authorization: Bearer <api key>`)

To get one without copying anything, POST https://www.assembli.design/api/agent/login (or call the MCP tool connect_account), show the user the link it returns, and poll https://www.assembli.design/api/agent/token for the key.
