Meteor Shower Animation
MeteorShower is a client-side React background component that renders an animated meteor field on a full-window canvas behind arbitrary children. It automatically switches between light and dark color palettes using next-themes and accepts a className for sizing and layout.

Usage
usage.tsx
import MeteorShower from "@/components/meteor-shower-animation/meteor-shower";export default function Example() { return ( <MeteorShower className="flex min-h-[420px] items-center justify-center"> <div className="text-center"> <h1 className="text-3xl font-semibold">Explore the night sky</h1> <p className="mt-2">A canvas-powered background for your hero content.</p> </div> </MeteorShower> );}- Use behind hero sections, landing-page headlines, or calls to action that need a dramatic animated backdrop.
- Use for astronomy, space, technology, portfolio, or futuristic interfaces.
- Use when the foreground content should remain fully customizable through React children.
- Use with a sized wrapper, such as an aspect-ratio section or a fixed-height container, to define the visible composition.
Examples
Hero call to action
Place a headline and action button over the animated background.
hero-call-to-action.tsx
import { Button } from "@/components/ui/button";import MeteorShower from "@/components/meteor-shower-animation/meteor-shower";export default function HeroExample() { return ( <MeteorShower className="flex min-h-[520px] items-center justify-center px-6"> <div className="z-10 max-w-xl space-y-5 text-center"> <h1 className="text-4xl font-bold tracking-tight">Build beyond the ordinary</h1> <p className="text-muted-foreground">Create polished interfaces with motion that stays in the background.</p> <Button>Get started</Button> </div> </MeteorShower> );}Product announcement
Use the effect as a wide announcement panel with centered content.
product-announcement.tsx
import MeteorShower from "@/components/meteor-shower-animation/meteor-shower";export default function AnnouncementExample() { return ( <MeteorShower className="flex aspect-[4/2] items-center justify-center rounded-xl border"> <div className="z-10 space-y-3 text-center"> <p className="text-sm font-medium uppercase tracking-widest">New release</p> <h2 className="text-3xl font-semibold">Version 2.0 is here</h2> <p className="text-muted-foreground">Discover a faster way to ship your next project.</p> </div> </MeteorShower> );}Empty state
Add a space-themed visual treatment to an otherwise empty application state.
empty-state.tsx
import MeteorShower from "@/components/meteor-shower-animation/meteor-shower";export default function EmptyStateExample() { return ( <MeteorShower className="flex min-h-[360px] items-center justify-center rounded-lg"> <div className="z-10 max-w-sm space-y-2 text-center"> <h2 className="text-2xl font-semibold">Nothing here yet</h2> <p className="text-muted-foreground">Your saved projects will appear in this space.</p> </div> </MeteorShower> );}API reference
PropTypeDefaultDescription
childrenReact.ReactNodenullRequired foreground content rendered inside the component.
classNamestring | undefinedundefinedOptional class name merged onto the outer relative, full-width wrapper with cn().
Accessibility
- The component does not add an accessible name, role, or description to the canvas; treat the animation as decorative and provide meaningful headings, text, and controls through children.
- The canvas has no built-in reduced-motion handling, pause control, or fallback content. Add an application-level alternative or motion preference strategy if required.
- Ensure foreground content remains readable against the opaque light or dark canvas background, especially when using custom text colors.
- Interactive elements supplied as children retain their normal semantics and keyboard behavior; keep them in the foreground content rather than relying on the canvas.
