Text Gradient Scroll

TextGradientScroll reveals text progressively as it enters the viewport, using Motion scroll progress to animate opacity. It can animate each letter or each word and supports configurable opacity for the static underlay text.

Installation

pnpm dlx shadcn@latest add @bundui/text-gradient-scroll

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

Usage

usage.tsx
import TextGradientScroll from "@/components/text-gradient-scroll/text-gradient-scroll";export default function Example() {  return (    <TextGradientScroll      text="Scroll to reveal this paragraph one character at a time."      className="text-2xl leading-relaxed"    />  );}
  • Use for scroll-driven storytelling, editorial copy, or landing-page sections where text should appear progressively.
  • Use letter mode for a detailed, kinetic reveal and word mode for a calmer, more readable effect.
  • Use textOpacity to keep a subtle text silhouette visible before the animated reveal.
  • Use className to apply typography, color, and responsive sizing with Tailwind CSS.

Examples

Word-by-word introduction

A lower-intensity reveal for a product introduction or editorial section.

word-by-word-introduction.tsx
import TextGradientScroll from "@/components/text-gradient-scroll/text-gradient-scroll";export default function ProductIntroduction() {  return (    <TextGradientScroll      type="word"      textOpacity="medium"      className="max-w-2xl text-lg leading-8 text-slate-700"      text="Build a calmer reading experience with a measured word by word reveal."    />  );}

Letter-by-letter hero copy

A more expressive reveal for prominent landing-page copy.

letter-by-letter-hero-copy.tsx
import TextGradientScroll from "@/components/text-gradient-scroll/text-gradient-scroll";export default function HeroCopy() {  return (    <TextGradientScroll      text="Ideas become clearer when every detail has room to appear."      className="max-w-4xl text-4xl font-semibold tracking-tight text-blue-600 md:text-6xl"    />  );}

Minimal reveal with no underlay

A clean reveal where unrevealed characters are fully hidden.

minimal-reveal-with-no-underlay.tsx
import TextGradientScroll from "@/components/text-gradient-scroll/text-gradient-scroll";export default function MinimalReveal() {  return (    <TextGradientScroll      textOpacity="none"      text="A focused message can unfold as the reader moves through the page."      className="max-w-xl text-xl leading-9"    />  );}

API reference

PropTypeDefaultDescription
textstring—Text to split into words and animate. Required.
type"word" | "letter""letter"Controls the reveal unit: animates each word or each letter.
classNamestring—Additional class names merged onto the root paragraph element with cn.
textOpacity"none" | "soft" | "medium""soft"Controls the opacity class of the static underlay behind the animated text: opacity-0, opacity-10, or opacity-30.

Accessibility

  • The component renders a semantic <p> element, so provide meaningful text and place it in an appropriate document section.
  • There is no built-in reduced-motion handling; add an application-level alternative if opacity animation must be disabled for users who prefer reduced motion.
  • The static underlay and animated text are both present in the DOM, so test screen-reader output in your target browsers and consider a custom accessible implementation if duplicate announcements occur.
  • The component does not add ARIA labels, roles, focus behavior, or keyboard interaction because it is informational text rather than an interactive control.
