Warp Background
WarpBackground is a client-side decorative container that surrounds its content with a perspective 3D grid and continuously animated colored beams. It accepts standard div attributes and exposes controls for perspective, beam density, timing, size, and grid color.

Usage
usage.tsx
import { WarpBackground } from "@/components/ui/warp-background"export function Example() { return ( <WarpBackground> <h1 className="text-4xl font-bold">Build something remarkable</h1> <p className="mt-4">A short message inside the animated warp frame.</p> </WarpBackground> )}- Use behind hero content, landing-page headlines, or prominent calls to action.
- Use for futuristic, energetic, technology-focused, or gaming-oriented visual treatments.
- Use when content needs an animated decorative frame without adding interactive controls.
- Avoid using it as the only way to communicate information because the grid and beams are decorative.
Examples
Hero call to action
Use the animated frame to emphasize a landing-page hero and its primary action.
hero-call-to-action.tsx
import { WarpBackground } from "@/components/ui/warp-background"export function Hero() { return ( <WarpBackground className="mx-auto max-w-4xl text-center"> <h1 className="text-5xl font-bold tracking-tight">Launch faster</h1> <p className="mx-auto mt-4 max-w-xl text-muted-foreground"> Build and ship your next product with a focused workflow. </p> <button className="mt-8 rounded-md bg-primary px-5 py-3 text-primary-foreground"> Get started </button> </WarpBackground> )}Custom grid and beam timing
Tune the perspective, grid color, beam count, size, and animation timing for a denser visual treatment.
custom-grid-and-beam-timing.tsx
import { WarpBackground } from "@/components/ui/warp-background"export function CustomWarp() { return ( <WarpBackground perspective={140} beamsPerSide={5} beamSize={4} beamDelayMin={0.5} beamDelayMax={2} beamDuration={4} gridColor="rgb(56 189 248 / 0.35)" className="min-h-80 bg-slate-950 text-white" > <div className="relative z-10"> <h2 className="text-3xl font-semibold">System online</h2> <p className="mt-2 text-slate-300">Monitoring all services in real time.</p> </div> </WarpBackground> )}Card content with standard div attributes
Use ordinary div attributes such as id, data attributes, and an accessible label on the container.
card-content-with-standard-div-attributes.tsx
import { WarpBackground } from "@/components/ui/warp-background"export function FeatureCard() { return ( <WarpBackground id="performance-feature" aria-label="Performance feature" data-section="features" className="h-full" > <h3 className="text-2xl font-semibold">Fast by default</h3> <p className="mt-3 text-muted-foreground"> Keep your interface responsive as your product grows. </p> </WarpBackground> )}API reference
PropTypeDefaultDescription
childrenReact.ReactNode—Required content rendered above the decorative warp background.
perspectivenumber100Perspective depth in pixels applied to the 3D background.
beamsPerSidenumber3Number of animated beams generated for each of the four sides.
beamSizenumber5Beam width and grid cell size as a percentage.
beamDelayMaxnumber3Maximum random animation delay in seconds for each beam.
beamDelayMinnumber0Minimum random animation delay in seconds for each beam.
beamDurationnumber3Duration in seconds for one beam animation cycle.
gridColorstringvar(--border)CSS color value used for the perspective grid lines.
classNamestring—Additional classes merged with the component's default classes.
...propsReact.HTMLAttributes<HTMLDivElement>—All other standard HTML attributes supported by a div, including id, style, data attributes, event handlers, and ARIA attributes.
Accessibility
- The animated background has pointer-events disabled, so it does not block interaction with the content.
- The component does not render its own semantic heading, landmark, or label; provide appropriate semantics through the child content and optional div or ARIA attributes.
- The beams and grid are decorative and are not exposed as interactive controls. Do not rely on them to convey essential information.
- The source does not implement reduced-motion handling. Consider disabling or conditionally omitting the component for users who prefer reduced motion.
- Ensure child text and controls maintain sufficient contrast against the chosen background and animated beams.
