Installation

pnpm dlx shadcn@latest add @magicui/border-beam-demo-2

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

Usage

usage.tsx
import MusicPlayer from "@/registry/example/border-beam-demo-2"export default function Demo() {  return <MusicPlayer />}
  • Use as a visual example of BorderBeam applied to a card container.
  • Use for music-player, media-player, or now-playing interface concepts.
  • Use when demonstrating layered animated borders with different colors and timing offsets.
  • Use as a decorative showcase component rather than a complete functional player.

Examples

Centered music player preview

Render the demo centered in a responsive page section.

centered-music-player-preview.tsx
import MusicPlayer from "@/registry/example/border-beam-demo-2"export default function MediaSection() {  return (    <section className="flex min-h-[500px] items-center justify-center p-6">      <MusicPlayer />    </section>  )}

Dashboard media card

Place the example inside a dashboard grid.

dashboard-media-card.tsx
import MusicPlayer from "@/registry/example/border-beam-demo-2"export default function Dashboard() {  return (    <main className="grid gap-6 p-6 md:grid-cols-2">      <MusicPlayer />    </main>  )}

Accessibility

  • The example component accepts no props and does not expose controls for customizing accessibility labels.
  • The three icon-only buttons do not include accessible names in the source; add accessible labeling when adapting these controls for production use.
  • The playback controls are visual examples only and have no click handlers or functional player behavior.
  • The artwork is a decorative div without an image alternative, which is appropriate if it remains purely decorative.
  • The card includes a visible title and description, while the animated beams should remain decorative and should not communicate essential information.
