import ShimmerText from "@/components/kokonutui/shimmer-text";export function Example() { return <ShimmerText text="Explore the collection" />;}- Add a subtle animated emphasis to a short heading or label.
- Use in a hero area or promotional section where a continuously shimmering text treatment fits the visual hierarchy.
- Use when the heading can appropriately be rendered as an h1; choose another component or heading level when it cannot.
API reference
PropTypeDefaultDescription
textstring—Heading content. Required by the component's TypeScript props interface; the implementation defaults to "Text Shimmer" if the prop is omitted at runtime.
classNamestring—Optional classes merged onto the h1 element, alongside its built-in gradient, typography, and animation styles.
Accessibility
- The component always renders its text inside an h1. Use it only where an h1 fits the page's heading structure.
- The shimmer animation repeats indefinitely, and the source does not define reduced-motion behavior. Consider whether continuous motion is appropriate for your users.
- The text uses transparent glyphs with a clipped gradient; check contrast in the rendered light and dark themes.
