Measured entry

motion-primitives-infinite-slider

scroll-effectspatialmotion on file

A client-side React marquee for continuously looping arbitrary children horizontally or vertically. It ships as shadcn registry source, duplicates the child set to form the loop, and depends on Motion, react-use-measure, Tailwind utility classes, and a local cn helper.

Verdict

A solid source-owned marquee with useful motion controls and a clean verified mount, but narrow layouts need containment work and the dependency cost is meaningful. It needs a shadcn-style setup because the bare project cannot resolve its local utility import.

Use it if

  • You need a continuously moving logo, sponsor, or compact content rail.
  • You want configurable direction, reversal, spacing, and hover speed in a source-owned component.
  • Your app already uses Motion and can absorb another measurement hook.

Skip it if

  • You need reliable narrow-screen containment without modifying the component or its wrapper.
  • You want a dependency-light marquee implemented with existing CSS animation utilities.
  • Duplicating interactive or screen-reader-relevant children would create confusing repeated content.
  • Your project cannot provide Tailwind utilities or the expected local cn helper.

In a non-shadcn project, install Motion and react-use-measure, add a cn class-merging helper or replace that call, configure the at-sign source alias, and provide the Tailwind utility styles used by the component. Add overflow containment around the slider for narrow layouts.
