Installation

Requires @aceternity in the registries of your components.json (shadcn adds official directory namespaces automatically).

Usage

usage.tsx
import CardDemo from "@/components/cards-demo-1";export default function Example() {  return <CardDemo />;}
  • Showcase an interactive visual tile with hover-only motion or background content.
  • Create a feature, portfolio, gallery, or promotional card with a short title and description.
  • Use when a card should reveal a stronger animated visual treatment without adding visible controls.

Examples

Feature showcase

Use the card as a visual feature tile in a product overview.

feature-showcase.tsx
import CardDemo from "@/components/cards-demo-1";export default function FeatureSection() {  return (    <section aria-labelledby="features-heading">      <h2 id="features-heading">Featured experiences</h2>      <CardDemo />    </section>  );}

Portfolio tile

Place the block in a portfolio or project grid as an atmospheric project preview.

portfolio-tile.tsx
import CardDemo from "@/components/cards-demo-1";export default function PortfolioPreview() {  return (    <div className="grid gap-6 sm:grid-cols-2 lg:grid-cols-3">      <CardDemo />      <CardDemo />    </div>  );}

Promotional content

Use it as a decorative promotional panel within a landing page section.

promotional-content.tsx
import CardDemo from "@/components/cards-demo-1";export default function Promotion() {  return (    <aside aria-label="Special promotion">      <CardDemo />    </aside>  );}

API reference

PropTypeDefaultDescription
nonenullnullThe component does not declare or accept props; its content, dimensions, and background URLs are fixed in the source.

Accessibility

  • The component is a non-semantic clickable-looking div with cursor styling but no click handler, link, or keyboard interaction; add an anchor or button if it is intended to perform an action.
  • The text uses white foreground colors over a darkened hover overlay, but the static image background should still be checked for sufficient contrast in every viewport.
  • The animated GIF may introduce motion; provide a reduced-motion treatment if this block is used in a motion-sensitive context.
  • The decorative background images do not have alt text. Keep them decorative, or replace the block with semantic media and an appropriate accessible name when the images convey content.
