RippleEffect is a client-side React component that creates expanding, fading circular ripples wherever the user presses its content. It wraps arbitrary React children and uses Motion for the animation.

Installation

pnpm dlx shadcn@latest add @bundui/ripple-effect-03

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

Usage

usage.tsx
import { RippleEffect } from "@/components/ripple-effect/ripple-effect";export default function RippleExamples() {  return (    <div className="grid gap-4 sm:grid-cols-3">      <RippleEffect className="bg-primary text-primary-foreground">        <div className="flex h-12 w-full items-center justify-center px-4">Save changes</div>      </RippleEffect>      <RippleEffect color="var(--color-blue-300)" duration={0.6} className="bg-muted">        <div className="flex aspect-square items-center justify-center p-6">Open gallery</div>      </RippleEffect>      <RippleEffect color="var(--color-purple-300)" className="bg-card shadow-sm">        <div className="flex min-h-24 items-center justify-center p-6">View details</div>      </RippleEffect>    </div>  );}
  • Add tactile visual feedback to button-like cards, tiles, controls, or other clickable surfaces.
  • Use for dashboards, galleries, menus, and other interfaces where press location should be visually emphasized.
  • Choose a custom ripple color when the default white ripple has insufficient contrast or does not match the surface.
  • Use a shorter duration for compact controls or a longer duration for more expressive surfaces.

Examples

Primary action

Adds a white ripple to a primary action surface.

primary-action.tsx
import { RippleEffect } from "@/components/ripple-effect/ripple-effect";export default function SaveAction() {  return (    <RippleEffect className="bg-primary text-primary-foreground">      <div className="flex h-10 items-center justify-center px-5">Save changes</div>    </RippleEffect>  );}

Colored dashboard tile

Uses a blue ripple and a shorter animation for a compact tile.

colored-dashboard-tile.tsx
import { RippleEffect } from "@/components/ripple-effect/ripple-effect";export default function DashboardTile() {  return (    <RippleEffect color="var(--color-blue-300)" duration={0.6} className="bg-muted">      <div className="flex aspect-square items-center justify-center p-6">Analytics</div>    </RippleEffect>  );}

Content card

Applies a purple ripple to a card-like surface.

content-card.tsx
import { RippleEffect } from "@/components/ripple-effect/ripple-effect";export default function DetailsCard() {  return (    <RippleEffect color="var(--color-purple-300)" className="bg-card shadow-sm">      <div className="flex min-h-24 items-center justify-center p-6">View details</div>    </RippleEffect>  );}

API reference

PropTypeDefaultDescription
childrenReact.ReactNode—Content rendered inside the ripple container. This prop is required.
colorstring"rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.7)"CSS color value used for the ripple background.
durationnumber0.8Ripple animation and cleanup duration in seconds.
classNamestring—Additional classes appended to the component's built-in `relative inline-flex overflow-hidden rounded-lg` classes.

Accessibility

  • The component renders a `div`, not a native button, and listens to `onMouseDown`; it does not provide keyboard activation or button semantics by itself.
  • For interactive controls, provide an appropriate semantic and keyboard-accessible interaction pattern in the child content or use a native button-based wrapper when possible.
  • Ensure the child content has an accessible name and visible focus treatment when the surface is interactive.
  • The ripple is decorative because its Motion element uses `pointerEvents: none`; do not rely on it as the only interaction or state indicator.
  • Verify custom ripple colors maintain sufficient contrast and do not obscure important content during the animation.
