Installation

pnpm dlx shadcn@latest add @cult-ui/grid-beam

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.
