Measured entry

magicui-ripple-button

buttondark-futuristicmotion on file

A React client button that creates a click-positioned ripple while forwarding native button props and refs. It ships as a shadcn registry component and depends on utility classes, a local cn helper backed by clsx and tailwind-merge, plus the registry's animation theme entry and keyframes.

What the harness recorded

BARE BUILD

✗ Build failed in 1.73s
error during build:
[vite:load-fallback] Could not load <sandbox>re-8bcfd38ac565/src/lib/utils (imported by src/cut/ripple-button.tsx): ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '<sandbox>re-8bcfd38ac565/src/lib/utils'

Verdict

A focused effect component with sensible native button behavior and a small API. It needs a shadcn-style setup to work as shipped because the bare build cannot resolve its local utility helper, while the visual effect also relies on registry-provided CSS.

Use it if

  • You want tactile click feedback while retaining native button attributes and ref forwarding.
  • Your app already uses shadcn conventions, utility classes, and shared theme CSS.
  • You need configurable ripple color and animation duration in a compact button primitive.

Skip it if

  • Your project cannot provide the local cn helper or the expected utility-class pipeline.
  • You need a button with built-in loading, icon, size, or visual variant APIs.
  • Your interaction design avoids decorative motion or requires a dedicated reduced-motion behavior in the component.

Providerno provider required in the harness

In a non-shadcn project, install clsx and tailwind-merge, add or replace the cn helper and its import alias, configure the utility classes, and copy the ripple animation theme entry and keyframes into global CSS. Keep the file as a React client component.
