Measured entry
ruixen-image-card-fan
imageunclassifiedmotion on file
A client-side React image selector that arranges cards into an animated fan, lifts the active card, and presents its title and optional description. It ships as copied shadcn registry source and depends on Motion, Tailwind utility classes, theme tokens, and a cn helper backed by clsx and tailwind-merge.

What the harness recorded
BARE BUILD
✗ Build failed in 2m 11s error during build: [vite:load-fallback] Could not load <sandbox>/src/lib/utils (imported by src/cut/components/ruixen/image-card-fan.tsx): ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '<sandbox>/src/lib/utils'
Verdict
A well-considered choice for small, editorial image sets: it is responsive, keyboard-operable, and respects reduced-motion preferences. It built and mounted cleanly in the prepared harness, but it needs a shadcn-style setup and does not work as a bare drop-in.
Use it if
- You need a compact visual selector for a curated set of artwork, products, or portfolio entries.
- Selection should work through buttons and keyboard focus while pointer users also get hover and drag feedback.
- You want controlled or uncontrolled selection with a callback for synchronizing nearby content.
Skip it if
- You need a conventional carousel that exposes many items for quick linear scanning.
- Touch users must be able to select by dragging, since coarse-pointer devices use tap selection instead.
- Adding a substantial animation dependency for one image selector does not fit your bundle budget.
Install
| Declared dependencies | motion, clsx, tailwind-merge |
|---|---|
| Missing on install | none |
| Bare install | fails once the shadcn-style helpers are removed, so it needs that setup |
| Provider | no provider required in the harness |
In a non-shadcn project, add Motion, clsx, and tailwind-merge; provide the aliased cn utility; configure Tailwind; and define the background, foreground, muted, border, and focus-ring theme tokens used by the classes.
