Measured entry

magicui-dia-text-reveal

text-effect3dmotion on file

A client-side React text effect that sweeps a configurable gradient band across one phrase or a rotating list, with viewport triggering and reduced-motion handling. It ships as shadcn registry source, uses Motion for animation, Tailwind utility classes for styling, and imports the conventional cn helper from the project alias.

What the harness recorded

BARE BUILD

Verdict

The implementation is flexible and includes sensible reduced-motion behavior, but the blank captures make it risky to adopt without visual testing in your own render path. It also needs a shadcn-style setup; the bare project could not resolve its shared utility import.

Use it if

  • You want a short headline or callout to reveal with a colored sweep.
  • You need optional phrase rotation with either fixed or animated text width.
  • Your app already uses Motion, Tailwind utilities, and the shadcn cn helper convention.

Skip it if

  • The text must remain visibly stable during automated screenshots or server-first rendering.
  • You want a dependency-light effect without Motion in the client bundle.
  • Your design system does not support clipped gradient text or Tailwind utility classes.
  • You cannot investigate an effect that mounted cleanly but appeared blank in every captured viewport.

Providerno provider required in the harness

In a non-shadcn project, install Motion, clsx, and tailwind-merge; add a cn utility backed by the latter packages; configure the project alias for the shared utility path or replace that import; and ensure Tailwind processes the component classes. Render it from a client-capable React boundary.
