- Adding visual emphasis to landing-page slogans and feature titles.
- Styling celebratory, creative, or futuristic interface text.
- Pairing with a call to action when a static heading needs more visual energy.
Examples
Hero heading
Use the animated gradient to emphasize a primary landing-page message.
hero-heading.tsx
import { AuroraText } from "@/components/ui/aurora-text"<h1 className="text-4xl font-bold tracking-tight"> <AuroraText>Ship your next idea</AuroraText></h1>Custom brand colors
Provide a custom palette while keeping the built-in animation.
custom-brand-colors.tsx
import { AuroraText } from "@/components/ui/aurora-text"<AuroraText colors={["#f97316", "#eab308", "#22c55e"]}> Move faster together</AuroraText>Slower animation
Increase the animation duration by lowering the speed value.
slower-animation.tsx
import { AuroraText } from "@/components/ui/aurora-text"<AuroraText speed={0.5} className="text-2xl font-semibold"> Thoughtfully designed</AuroraText>Inline call to action
Use AuroraText inside a link or button label for a more expressive CTA.
inline-call-to-action.tsx
import { AuroraText } from "@/components/ui/aurora-text"<a href="/get-started" className="font-medium"> <AuroraText colors={["#ec4899", "#8b5cf6", "#06b6d4"]}> Get started today </AuroraText></a>API reference
PropTypeDefaultDescription
childrenReact.ReactNodenullRequired content rendered twice: once as screen-reader-only text and once as the animated visual text.
classNamestring""Additional class names applied to the outer relative inline-block span.
colorsstring[]["#FF0080", "#7928CA", "#0070F3", "#38bdf8"]Gradient color stops. The first color is appended to the end of the linear gradient to close the color cycle.
speednumber1Controls the inline animation duration in seconds as 10 divided by speed. It does not change the keyframe easing or iteration behavior.
Accessibility
- The component renders a screen-reader-only copy of children in an sr-only span.
- The animated visual copy is marked aria-hidden="true" to prevent duplicate announcements.
- The component does not add a semantic heading, link, button, or ARIA role; use it inside the appropriate semantic element.
- Check color contrast for the chosen gradient, especially against light backgrounds.
- Respect reduced-motion preferences at the application or stylesheet level if animated text should be disabled for users who prefer reduced motion.
