Measured entry

motion-primitives-progressive-blur

hover-effectspatialmotion on file

A client-side React overlay that builds a directional progressive blur from stacked masked Motion layers. It ships as a shadcn registry TypeScript component and depends on Motion, Tailwind utility classes, and the usual cn helper imported through the project alias.

Verdict

A focused, composable blur overlay that builds and mounts cleanly in its intended environment. It needs a shadcn-style setup because the bare project cannot resolve its shared utility import, so it is best for teams already using that structure.

Use it if

  • You need a directional blur fade over an image, video, or scrolling surface.
  • Your interface already uses Motion and a shadcn-style utility setup.
  • You want to animate the blur layer through standard Motion div props.

Skip it if

  • You need a self-contained package that works without project aliases or utility helpers.
  • You do not want to add Motion for a narrowly scoped visual effect.
  • You need the effect to create its own layout without supplying dimensions and surrounding content.
  • Your browser support policy excludes masked backdrop filters.

In a non-shadcn project, install Motion, provide or replace the cn class-merging helper, configure the project import alias, and ensure the Tailwind utility classes are available. Supply explicit sizing and positioning where the overlay is used.
