Measured entry

ruixen-magic-tree

transition-effectunclassifiedmotion on file

A client-side React file tree that recursively renders folders and files, animates expansion and selection with Motion, and uses Lucide icons. It ships as a shadcn registry component and expects a local cn utility plus Tailwind theme classes.

Verdict

A tidy choice for a decorative, shallow file browser with controlled input and a useful selection hook. It mounts cleanly in the prepared environment, but it needs a shadcn-style setup and carries more dependency weight than a basic disclosure list.

Use it if

  • You need a compact, read-only hierarchy for a file picker, sidebar, or project browser.
  • Your interface benefits from animated folder disclosure and a simple selection callback.
  • Your app already uses shadcn conventions, Motion, and Lucide icons.

Skip it if

  • You need keyboard navigation and full ARIA tree semantics without extending the component.
  • You need editing features such as rename, drag and drop, lazy loading, or context menus.
  • You want to avoid adding an animation library for a small disclosure control.

In a non-shadcn project, install Motion and Lucide React, provide an equivalent cn class-merging helper or replace that call, configure the import alias, and supply the referenced Tailwind utility and theme classes.
