pastetaste

Device Shell

MediaLayout

Laptop, phone and browser frames drawn in CSS with a slot for the screen. No images, scales with width, server-component friendly.

Paste it into Claude Code: it installs the component, asks for your brand and content, and places it on the page you name.

Install

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

npx shadcn@latest add https://pastetaste.com/r/device-shell.json

Prompt

Install the pastetaste component "Device Shell" (device-shell) into this Next.js project and use it.

What it is: Laptop, phone and browser frames drawn in CSS with a slot for the screen. No images, scales with width, server-component friendly.

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/device-shell.json
   (it writes components/pastetaste/device-shell.tsx; install any npm packages it reports).
2. Import it: import { DeviceShell } from "@/components/pastetaste/device-shell" (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):
- kind: 'laptop' | 'phone' | 'browser' = 'laptop' — Which frame to draw.
- children: ReactNode — Screen content, clipped to the screen.
- shell: string = var(--pt-device-shell, #1a1a1c) — Frame colour.
- screen: string = var(--pt-device-screen, #0b0d16) — Screen background behind the content.
- url: string = 'app.example.com' — Address shown in the browser frame.
- className: string — Extra classes on the frame.
- style: CSSProperties — Inline style overrides, e.g. width.

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