  </n-gradient-text>
</template>
```

## Best Practices

1. **Use preset types for consistency**: Stick to predefined types for standard UI
   ```vue
   <n-gradient-text type="success">Success message</n-gradient-text>
   ```

2. **Match brand colors**: Use custom gradients for brand-specific styling
   ```vue
   <n-gradient-text :gradient="{ from: '#brand1', to: '#brand2' }">
     Brand Text
   </n-gradient-text>
   ```

3. **Consider readability**: Ensure gradient colors maintain text readability
   - Avoid overly similar colors
   - Maintain sufficient contrast

4. **Use sparingly**: Gradient text is decorative, use for emphasis only
   - Don't overuse in body text
   - Reserve for headings and highlights

5. **Size with context**: Match text size to surrounding content
   ```vue
   <n-gradient-text :size="24" type="primary">Heading</n-gradient-text>
   ```

6. **Combine with typography**: Use within n-h1, n-h2, etc. for semantic structure
   ```vue
   <n-h2>
     <n-gradient-text type="info">Section Title</n-gradient-text>
   </n-h2>
   ```
