Measured entry

fancy-text-rotate

text-effect3dmotion on file

A client-side React text rotator delivered as a shadcn registry component. It animates text by character, word, line, or a custom separator, supports automatic and ref-driven navigation, and depends on Motion, a local cn helper, and utility CSS classes.

What the harness recorded

BARE BUILD

✗ Build failed in 22.42s
error during build:
[vite:load-fallback] Could not load <sandbox>/src/lib/utils (imported by src/cut/fancy/text/text-rotate.tsx): ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '<sandbox>/src/lib/utils'

Verdict

The verified build and mount are clean, with no measured overflow or accessibility violations. It still needs a shadcn-style setup because the bare project cannot resolve its expected utility import. Choose it when the animation controls justify the Motion dependency.

Use it if

  • You need rotating words in a headline with configurable entry, exit, and stagger behavior.
  • You want automatic cycling plus imperative next, previous, jump, and reset controls.
  • Your React app already uses shadcn conventions, Tailwind utilities, and Motion.

Skip it if

  • A static headline or a simple CSS transition would meet the interaction requirement.
  • You want to avoid adding Motion for a single decorative text effect.
  • Your project does not use utility CSS or path aliases and you do not want to adapt the source.
  • Your content can provide an empty text list, since the component assumes a current string exists.

Install

Bare installfails once the shadcn-style helpers are removed, so it needs that setup
Providerno provider required in the harness

In a non-shadcn project, install Motion, provide a cn class-merging helper, configure the source alias or replace that import with a relative path, and supply the Tailwind-style utility classes used for layout and screen-reader text. The host must support client-side React components.
