Installation

Usage
Use GridBeam for the full stack (dividers, animated canvas, content slot). For custom markup, call useGridBeam and place GridBeamDividers, GridBeamCanvas, and GridBeamContent yourself.
import {
GridBeam,
GridBeamCanvas,
GridBeamContent,
GridBeamDividers,
useGridBeam,
} from "@/components/ui/grid-beam";
export function BeamTable() {
return (
<GridBeam
rows={4}
cols={4}
colorVariant="colorful"
theme="dark"
active
borderRadius={12}
className="min-h-[280px] rounded-xl border border-border bg-card/40"
>
<div className="grid h-full grid-cols-4 grid-rows-4 p-4 text-sm">
{/* Your cells */}
</div>
</GridBeam>
);
}function HeadlessExample() {
const { canvasRef, rows, cols } = useGridBeam({
rows: 2,
cols: 3,
colorVariant: "ocean",
theme: "light",
active: true,
});
return (
<div className="relative overflow-hidden rounded-xl border">
<GridBeamDividers cols={cols} rows={rows} />
<GridBeamCanvas borderRadius={12} ref={canvasRef} />
<GridBeamContent>{/* Your layout */}</GridBeamContent>
</div>
);
}colorVariant accepts colorful, mono, ocean, or sunset. Pass theme as "light" or "dark" (often from your app theme). Toggle active to run or pause the beam; optional breathe, duration, and strength tune the motion.
