|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
If your project was set up with `npx shadcn@latest init`, you already have `shimmer`. It ships with the `shadcn` package, which the CLI imports in your global CSS file.
|
|
|
|
Otherwise, install the `shadcn` package:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm install shadcn
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then import the shared utilities in your global CSS file:
|
|
|
|
```css
|
|
@import "tailwindcss";
|
|
@import "shadcn/tailwind.css";
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
| Class | Styles |
|
|
| ----------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
|
| `shimmer` | `background-clip: text;` <br /> `animation: tw-shimmer var(--shimmer-duration, 2s) linear infinite;` |
|
|
| `shimmer-once` | `animation-iteration-count: 1;` |
|
|
| `shimmer-reverse` | `animation-direction: reverse;` |
|
|
| `shimmer-none` | `--shimmer-image: none;` <br /> `--shimmer-text-fill: currentColor;` |
|
|
| `shimmer-color-<color>` | `--shimmer-color: <color>;` |
|
|
| `shimmer-color-[<value>]` | `--shimmer-color: <value>;` |
|
|
| `shimmer-color-<color>/<pct>` | `--shimmer-color: color-mix(in oklch, <color> <pct>, transparent);` |
|
|
| `shimmer-duration-<number>` | `--shimmer-duration: calc(<number> * 1ms);` |
|
|
| `shimmer-spread-<number>` | `--shimmer-spread: calc(var(--spacing) * <number>);` |
|
|
| `shimmer-spread-[<value>]` | `--shimmer-spread: <value>;` |
|
|
| `shimmer-angle-<number>` | `--shimmer-angle: calc(<number> * 1deg);` |
|
|
|
|
Add `shimmer` to a text element.
|
|
|
|
```tsx
|
|
<p className="shimmer text-muted-foreground">Generating response…</p>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The shimmer is built on `currentColor`, so it adapts to the element:
|
|
|
|
- The highlight is derived from the text color, with no configuration needed.
|
|
- It works on any color, from `text-muted-foreground` to brand colors.
|
|
- In dark mode, the highlight automatically brightens to stay visible.
|
|
|
|
The effect is pure CSS. The text is painted with `background-clip: text`, and the highlight sweeps across it in a seamless loop.
|
|
|
|
## With Marker
|
|
|
|
The shimmer composes with any component that renders text. A common pattern is a [Marker](/docs/components/marker) showing a live status while the assistant is working:
|
|
|
|
<ComponentPreview styleName="radix-rhea" name="shimmer-marker" />
|
|
|
|
```tsx
|
|
<Marker role="status">
|
|
<MarkerIcon>
|
|
<Spinner />
|
|
</MarkerIcon>
|
|
<MarkerContent className="shimmer">Thinking…</MarkerContent>
|
|
</Marker>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Color
|
|
|
|
Use `shimmer-color-<color>` to set the highlight color explicitly. It accepts theme colors with an optional opacity modifier, or any arbitrary color value.
|
|
|
|
<ComponentPreview styleName="radix-rhea" name="shimmer-color" />
|
|
|
|
```tsx
|
|
<p className="shimmer shimmer-color-blue-500/60">Generating response…</p>
|
|
<p className="shimmer shimmer-color-[#378ADD]">Generating response…</p>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Duration
|
|
|
|
Use `shimmer-duration-<number>` to set the duration of one sweep in milliseconds. The default is `2000`, i.e. `2s`.
|
|
|
|
<ComponentPreview styleName="radix-rhea" name="shimmer-duration" />
|
|
|
|
```tsx
|
|
<p className="shimmer shimmer-duration-1000">Generating response…</p>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Spread
|
|
|
|
Use `shimmer-spread-<number>` to set the width of the highlight band using the spacing scale. The default is `calc(3ch + 40px)`: a fixed base plus a `3ch` term that scales with the font size.
|
|
|
|
<ComponentPreview styleName="radix-rhea" name="shimmer-spread" />
|
|
|
|
```tsx
|
|
<p className="shimmer shimmer-spread-24">Generating response…</p>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For one-off values, use an arbitrary length or percentage:
|
|
|
|
```tsx
|
|
<p className="shimmer shimmer-spread-[5rem]">Generating response…</p>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Angle
|
|
|
|
Use `shimmer-angle-<number>` to set the tilt of the highlight band in degrees. The default is `20`.
|
|
|
|
<ComponentPreview styleName="radix-rhea" name="shimmer-angle" />
|
|
|
|
```tsx
|
|
<p className="shimmer shimmer-angle-45">Generating response…</p>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Reverse
|
|
|
|
Use `shimmer-reverse` to sweep the highlight in the opposite direction. In RTL layouts the sweep already follows the reading direction. See [RTL](#rtl).
|
|
|
|
```tsx
|
|
<p className="shimmer shimmer-reverse">Generating response…</p>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Play Once
|
|
|
|
Use `shimmer-once` to play a single sweep instead of looping, useful as a reveal when streaming completes. Pair it with `shimmer-duration-<number>` to control how long the sweep takes.
|
|
|
|
<ComponentPreview styleName="radix-rhea" name="shimmer-once" />
|
|
|
|
```tsx
|
|
<p className="shimmer shimmer-duration-1100 shimmer-once">
|
|
Response generated.
|
|
</p>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Disabling the Shimmer
|
|
|
|
Use `shimmer-none` to turn the effect off and render the text normally. It works in any class order, so the typical use is responsive or stateful:
|
|
|
|
<ComponentPreview styleName="radix-rhea" name="shimmer-none" />
|
|
|
|
```tsx
|
|
<p className="shimmer md:shimmer-none">Generating response…</p>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Fallback
|
|
|
|
The shimmer is built on modern color features, [relative color syntax](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/CSS_colors/Relative_colors) and `color-mix()`, which are available in all current browsers. In older browsers without support, the highlight gradient is dropped and the text can render transparent. If you target older browsers, apply `shimmer` conditionally with a `supports-*` variant:
|
|
|
|
```tsx
|
|
<p className="supports-[color:oklch(from_white_l_c_h)]:shimmer">
|
|
Generating response…
|
|
</p>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Reduced Motion
|
|
|
|
When the user prefers reduced motion, the animation is disabled automatically and the text renders normally. There is nothing to configure.
|
|
|
|
## RTL
|
|
|
|
To enable RTL support in shadcn/ui, see the [RTL configuration guide](/docs/rtl).
|
|
|
|
The sweep follows the reading direction, left to right in LTR and right to left in RTL, with no extra classes. Use `shimmer-reverse` to flip the direction manually.
|
|
|
|
<ComponentPreview styleName="radix-rhea" name="shimmer-rtl" />
