Measured entry

magicui-animated-list

transition-effectunclassifiedmotion on file

A client-side React list that reveals children in sequence, placing each newly shown item at the top with spring-based enter, exit, and layout motion. It ships as a shadcn registry TypeScript component and depends on React, motion/react, Tailwind utility classes, and the shadcn-style cn helper.

BARE BUILD

Verdict

A focused choice for staged notification demos, and the verified configured build mounts cleanly. It needs a shadcn-style setup because the source imports the project cn helper through an alias, so a bare React project fails until that wiring is supplied.

Use it if

  • You need a finite notification or activity stack that unfolds automatically.
  • Your app already uses Tailwind, a cn class helper, and client-side React components.
  • You want callers to supply the item markup while the wrapper owns reveal timing and motion.

Skip it if

  • You need a true live feed with insertion, removal, virtualization, or long-running updates.
  • You require built-in list semantics, live-region announcements, or reduced-motion handling.
  • You do not want to bring in the motion package for a small presentation effect.

In a non-shadcn project, add the motion package, provide a compatible cn class-merging helper or replace that call, configure the import alias or use a relative import, and supply Tailwind or equivalent styles. The host must also support client components.
