Data Wall

Install

Or by hand, in a Next.js project with shadcn set up. It writes components/pastetaste/data-wall.tsx.

Install the pastetaste component "Data Wall" (data-wall) into this Next.js project and use it.

What it is: A canvas field of small squares that flicker in and out like a wall of status lights. Optional radial fade, pauses off-screen, any CSS colour.

Before you place it, ask me (one short message, in my language; "skip" = sensible default): which page and section it goes in, my brand colour (hex), the text, labels or images it should show, and whether I want my logo or my own copy in the demo content. Then:

Steps:
1. If the project has no components.json, run: npx shadcn@latest init -y -d. Then run: npx shadcn@latest add https://pastetaste.com/r/data-wall.json
   (it writes components/pastetaste/data-wall.tsx; install any npm packages it reports).
2. Import it: import { DataWall } from "@/components/pastetaste/data-wall" (check the file for the exact named export).
3. Put it where it fits on the page I name, keep the rest of the page untouched, and pass props for my colours instead of editing the installed file.
4. It does not depend on Tailwind; colours come from CSS variables (--pt-*) or props.
5. It supports prefers-reduced-motion with a still state; do not remove it.

Props (all optional unless the type has no default):
- color: string = var(--pt-wall, currentColor) — Square colour; any CSS colour or variable.
- cell: number = 6 — Square size in px.
- gap: number = 3 — Space between squares in px.
- density: number = 0.3 — Share of squares lit at any moment, 0 to 1.
- speed: number = 1 — Flicker rate multiplier.
- maxOpacity: number = 0.5 — Peak opacity of a lit square.
- fade: boolean = true — Fade out toward the edges.
- className: string — Extra classes on the canvas.
- style: CSSProperties — Inline style overrides on the canvas.

Then run the dev server, check it in the browser at desktop and mobile width, and tell me the page URL.
