Measured entry

animata-mask-reveal-up

text-effectspatialmotion on file

A client-side React text effect that reveals and cycles copy line by line with blur, vertical motion, and the browser Web Animations API. It ships as a shadcn registry component alongside a shared TextAnimator runtime and Tailwind CSS, and expects the project cn utility through the standard path alias.

Verdict

A credible choice for compact, repeating headline copy, with clean harness behavior in its intended environment. It needs a shadcn-style setup because the bare project cannot resolve the expected cn utility import.

Use it if

  • You need a looping headline or short campaign message that swaps between several phrases.
  • Your interface already uses React, Tailwind, and client-side animation.
  • You want to tune entry, exit, hold, and travel behavior through component props.

Skip it if

  • Your page must work without client-side JavaScript or the browser Web Animations API.
  • Your motion policy requires automatic reduced-motion handling, since this component does not provide it.
  • You only need a static headline and do not want the shared animation runtime and styling machinery.

Providerno provider required in the harness

In a non-shadcn project, add Tailwind processing, configure the source path alias, provide a compatible cn class-merging helper at the expected utility path, and copy the shared TextAnimator runtime, stylesheet, and demo class helper with the component. Render it as a React client component.
