Parallax Cards

Parallax Cards is a client-side scroll animation component that presents a sequence of colored cards in a sticky, overlapping stack. Cards progressively scale as the user scrolls through the section, with Lenis-powered smooth scrolling and Motion-based transforms.

Installation

pnpm dlx shadcn@latest add @bundui/parallax-cards

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

Usage

usage.tsx
import ParallaxCards from "@/components/parallax-cards/parallax-cards-example";export default function Example() {  return <ParallaxCards />;}
  • Portfolio or case-study sections that reveal projects as users scroll.
  • Editorial or storytelling layouts with multiple visual content panels.
  • Landing pages that need a polished, scroll-driven card sequence.
  • Feature or campaign sections where each item has a title, description, and CTA.

Examples

Use as a page section

Render the complete parallax card experience as the main page content.

use-as-a-page-section.tsx
import ParallaxCards from "@/components/parallax-cards/parallax-cards-example";export default function Page() {  return <ParallaxCards />;}

Render inside a route layout

Place the component below page-level navigation or other content.

render-inside-a-route-layout.tsx
import ParallaxCards from "@/components/parallax-cards/parallax-cards-example";export default function ProjectsPage() {  return (    <main>      <header className="mx-auto max-w-2xl px-6 py-12">        <h1 className="text-4xl font-bold">Selected projects</h1>      </header>      <ParallaxCards />    </main>  );}

Use with surrounding page content

Add introductory content before the self-contained scrolling card section.

use-with-surrounding-page-content.tsx
import ParallaxCards from "@/components/parallax-cards/parallax-cards-example";export default function WorkPage() {  return (    <div className="space-y-16">      <section className="mx-auto max-w-2xl px-6 pt-16">        <p className="text-muted-foreground">A selection of recent work</p>      </section>      <ParallaxCards />    </div>  );}

API reference

PropTypeDefaultDescription
idnumber—The card index used to calculate its vertical offset in the sticky stack.
classNamestring | undefined—Optional class names applied to the animated card element.
progressany—The scroll progress value passed to Motion's useTransform hook.
rangenumber[]—The numeric input range used to map scroll progress to the card scale.
targetScalenumber—The final scale value reached by the card across the supplied range.
childrenReact.ReactNode | undefined—Optional content rendered inside the animated card.

Accessibility

  • The component uses real h4 headings, paragraphs, and native button elements.
  • The “See more” buttons are keyboard focusable, but the source does not provide an action or link destination; add the appropriate behavior when adapting the component.
  • The source does not implement a prefers-reduced-motion alternative. Consider disabling or simplifying the scroll animation for users who request reduced motion.
  • The chevron icons are decorative in context; verify that the rendered icon implementation remains hidden from assistive technology and that the button text remains available.
  • Ensure the component is placed within a meaningful heading hierarchy, since the card titles are rendered as h4 elements.
  • Check color contrast for custom content and theme overrides, especially when changing the supplied background color classes.
