Installation

pnpm dlx shadcn@latest add @bundui/image-reveal

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

Usage

usage.tsx
import ImageReveal from "@/components/image-reveal/image-reveal";export default function Example() {  return (    <ImageReveal      list={[        { img: "/images/project-one.jpg", label: "Project One" },        { img: "/images/project-two.jpg", label: "Project Two" },      ]}    />  );}
  • Use for portfolio, product, or project lists where each item benefits from a visual preview.
  • Use for editorial navigation or case-study indexes with image-backed hover interactions.
  • Use when you want an engaging desktop hover effect without adding persistent image cards to the layout.

Examples

Portfolio projects

Preview project artwork while browsing a compact portfolio index.

portfolio-projects.tsx
import ImageReveal from "@/components/image-reveal/image-reveal";export default function PortfolioProjects() {  return (    <ImageReveal      list={[        { img: "/projects/aurora.jpg", label: "Aurora Identity" },        { img: "/projects/field-notes.jpg", label: "Field Notes Editorial" },        { img: "/projects/mono-house.jpg", label: "Mono House" },      ]}    />  );}

Product categories

Show product imagery as users move through category labels.

product-categories.tsx
import ImageReveal from "@/components/image-reveal/image-reveal";export default function ProductCategories() {  return (    <ImageReveal      list={[        { img: "/products/chairs.jpg", label: "Chairs" },        { img: "/products/lighting.jpg", label: "Lighting" },        { img: "/products/storage.jpg", label: "Storage" },      ]}    />  );}

Editorial archive

Add visual context to an archive of articles or stories.

editorial-archive.tsx
import ImageReveal from "@/components/image-reveal/image-reveal";export default function EditorialArchive() {  return (    <ImageReveal      list={[        { img: "/stories/coastal-light.jpg", label: "Coastal Light" },        { img: "/stories/night-markets.jpg", label: "Night Markets" },        { img: "/stories/slow-cities.jpg", label: "Slow Cities" },      ]}    />  );}

API reference

PropTypeDefaultDescription
listImageItem[]—The items rendered in the reveal list. Each item must contain an `img` string used as the image source and a `label` string used for the visible row text and image alt text.

Accessibility

  • Each revealed image receives its `alt` value from the item's `label`.
  • The visible item labels are rendered as text, and each row includes a chevron icon for directional context.
  • The interaction is driven by mouse hover and movement; provide an alternative navigation or preview pattern if this component is essential on touch-only devices.
  • Ensure image URLs resolve and provide meaningful labels so the dynamically displayed image has useful alternative text.
