PropTypeDefaultDescription
positionnumber—Required numeric value used to shift and shape the generated SVG paths. Different values, such as -1 or 1, change the paths’ horizontal positioning.
classNamestring | undefined—Optional class name merged onto the component’s outer relative, full-width container.
childrenReact.ReactNode—Required content rendered above the animated background paths.
Accessibility
- The animated path layer has pointer-events disabled, so it does not interfere with interactive content placed inside the component.
- The source does not set aria-hidden on the decorative SVG or provide reduced-motion behavior; consider adding an accessibility strategy at the usage level if the animation may distract users.
- Keep foreground content semantically structured and ensure its text and controls have sufficient contrast against both light and dark path colors.
- Because the paths are decorative, do not rely on them to convey information or meaning.
