Installation

pnpm dlx shadcn@latest add @aceternity/container-text-flip

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

Usage

usage.tsx
import { ContainerTextFlip } from "@/components/ui/container-text-flip";export function Example() {  return <ContainerTextFlip words={["fast", "reliable", "simple"]} />;}
  • Highlight changing adjectives or value propositions in a hero heading.
  • Add animated emphasis to landing-page marketing copy or product introductions.
  • Rotate short descriptive words in compact promotional UI where the changing text remains readable.

Examples

Hero headline

Rotate product qualities in a prominent marketing headline.

hero-headline.tsx
import { ContainerTextFlip } from "@/components/ui/container-text-flip";export function HeroHeadline() {  return (    <h1 className="text-4xl font-semibold tracking-tight">      Build something <ContainerTextFlip words={["fast", "beautiful", "reliable"]} />    </h1>  );}

Longer interval

Use a slower cycle for readable promotional messaging.

longer-interval.tsx
import { ContainerTextFlip } from "@/components/ui/container-text-flip";export function ProductStatement() {  return (    <ContainerTextFlip      words={["secure", "scalable", "developer-friendly"]}      interval={4500}      animationDuration={900}      className="text-3xl md:text-5xl"    />  );}

Custom styling

Apply custom container and text classes while retaining the built-in animation.

custom-styling.tsx
import { ContainerTextFlip } from "@/components/ui/container-text-flip";export function StyledFlip() {  return (    <ContainerTextFlip      words={["focused", "creative", "productive"]}      className="text-indigo-950"      textClassName="tracking-wide"    />  );}

Accessibility

  • The component renders a paragraph element containing animated text; provide surrounding semantic heading or paragraph context as appropriate.
  • The source does not expose aria-label, pause, or reduced-motion props, and it does not implement a reduced-motion alternative.
  • Keep the rotating words short and avoid relying on a single changing word as the only way to understand the content.
  • Verify contrast for custom class names in both light and dark themes, especially when overriding the default text colors or backgrounds.
  • If the animation conveys essential information, provide an equivalent static description elsewhere in the surrounding content.
