title: Frame
description: A consent-gated content wrapper - children only mount when the required consent category is granted.
---
`Frame` conditionally renders its children based on consent state. When consent for the specified category is not granted, a placeholder is shown instead. Children are not mounted at all until consent is given, preventing any network requests or script execution.

## Basic Usage

```tsx
import { Frame } from '@c15t/nextjs';

function YouTubeEmbed() {
  return (
    <Frame category="marketing">
      <iframe
        src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/dQw4w9WgXcQ"
        width="560"
        height="315"
        allowFullScreen
      />
    </Frame>
  );
}
```

## Custom Placeholder

Replace the default placeholder:

```tsx
<Frame
  category="experience"
  placeholder={
    <div className="rounded-lg border p-8 text-center">
      <p>This content requires experience cookies.</p>
      <p>Please enable them in your privacy settings.</p>
    </div>
  }
>
  <InteractiveWidget />
</Frame>
```

## Compound Components

Build fully custom placeholder layouts:

```tsx
<Frame.Root category="marketing">
  <Frame.Title category="marketing" />
  <Frame.Button category="marketing" />
</Frame.Root>
```

* `Frame.Root` - Container with default placeholder styling
* `Frame.Title` - Displays a consent-request message with the category name
* `Frame.Button` - Button that opens the consent dialog for the specified category

## Automatic Category Registration

When `Frame` mounts, it automatically adds its `category` to the active `consentCategories` list. This means you don't need to explicitly list the category in your provider's `consentCategories` option - if a `Frame` component uses it, it will be registered.
