Dia Text Reveal
DiaTextReveal renders text with a horizontal multicolor gradient band that sweeps across the glyphs and settles into a solid text color. It can optionally cycle through multiple strings, animate only when visible, and respect reduced-motion preferences.

Usage
usage.tsx
import { DiaTextReveal } from "@/components/ui/dia-text-reveal"export function Example() { return <DiaTextReveal text="Build something remarkable" />}- Use for hero headlines, section headings, or promotional copy that needs a polished animated accent.
- Use when a text reveal should begin on viewport entry instead of immediately on page load.
- Use the array form of text for rotating headlines or short status messages.
- Use fixedWidth when rotating strings should preserve a stable layout width.
Examples
Hero headline with custom colors
Use the reveal as an accent in a landing-page heading.
hero-headline-with-custom-colors.tsx
import { DiaTextReveal } from "@/components/ui/dia-text-reveal"export function HeroHeading() { return ( <h1 className="text-5xl font-bold tracking-tight"> Create <DiaTextReveal text="without limits" colors={["#7c3aed", "#ec4899", "#f97316"]} /> </h1> )}Rotating headline text
Cycle through multiple strings with a pause between completed sweeps.
rotating-headline-text.tsx
import { DiaTextReveal } from "@/components/ui/dia-text-reveal"export function RotatingHeadline() { return ( <DiaTextReveal text={["Design faster", "Ship sooner", "Grow further"]} repeat repeatDelay={1} fixedWidth className="text-4xl font-semibold" /> )}Delayed viewport-triggered reveal
Start the animation after the element enters the viewport, with a delayed sweep.
delayed-viewport-triggered-reveal.tsx
import { DiaTextReveal } from "@/components/ui/dia-text-reveal"export function SectionHeading() { return ( <h2 className="text-3xl font-bold"> <DiaTextReveal text="A better workflow" delay={0.25} duration={2} startOnView once textColor="hsl(var(--foreground))" /> </h2> )}Accessible supporting text
Provide normal text content while using inherited span attributes for labeling or test hooks.
accessible-supporting-text.tsx
import { DiaTextReveal } from "@/components/ui/dia-text-reveal"export function LabeledReveal() { return ( <DiaTextReveal text="Featured" aria-label="Featured" data-testid="featured-label" className="text-sm font-medium uppercase tracking-wider" /> )}API reference
PropTypeDefaultDescription
textstring | string[]nullText to reveal. Pass multiple strings to rotate when repeat is true.
colorsstring[]["#c679c4", "#fa3d1d", "#ffb005", "#e1e1fe", "#0358f7"]Colors sampled across the moving gradient band.
textColorstring"var(--foreground)"CSS color for revealed text after the sweep and for leading or trailing regions during the animation.
durationnumber1.5Duration of one sweep pass, in seconds.
delaynumber0Delay before the sweep starts, in seconds.
repeatbooleanfalseWhen text is an array, replay the sweep and advance to the next string after each completion.
repeatDelaynumber0.5Pause between cycles when repeat is true, in seconds.
startOnViewbooleantrueIf true, start the animation only after the element enters the viewport.
oncebooleantruePassed to useInView; when true, in-view detection fires at most once and does not replay when scrolling back.
classNamestringnullAdditional class names for the animated span, such as typography utilities.
fixedWidthbooleanfalseWhen text has multiple entries, use the widest string's width for layout instead of animating width per string.
HTMLMotionProps<"span">all span motion props except ref, children, style, animate, transition, and colornullInherited HTML and Motion props supported by the underlying motion.span, including id, title, aria-* attributes, data-* attributes, event handlers, and compatible motion props. The omitted properties are controlled internally or unavailable through the declared type.
Accessibility
- The rendered text remains real span content rather than being drawn on canvas or represented only by CSS.
- Use the text prop for meaningful content; it is exposed to assistive technologies as ordinary text unless surrounding semantics change its interpretation.
- The component uses useReducedMotion and skips the sweep animation when the user prefers reduced motion, showing the completed text state instead.
- The component accepts inherited aria-* attributes, labels, event handlers, and other span attributes through HTMLMotionProps<"span">.
- Because the visual text is initially transparent during the sweep, ensure surrounding content provides sufficient context if the component is used for critical information.
