Dot Ledger

DataInteraction

A grid of dots, one per transaction: solid accent for paid, soft grey for open, a ring for late. Hover, tap or arrow-key to a dot to read its amount on a tag.

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/dot-ledger.tsx.

npx shadcn@latest add https://pastetaste.com/r/dot-ledger.json

Prompt

Install the pastetaste component "Dot Ledger" (dot-ledger) into this Next.js project and use it.

What it is: A grid of dots, one per transaction: solid accent for paid, soft grey for open, a ring for late. Hover, tap or arrow-key to a dot to read its amount on a tag.

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/dot-ledger.json
   (it writes components/pastetaste/dot-ledger.tsx; install any npm packages it reports).
2. Import it: import { DotLedger } from "@/components/pastetaste/dot-ledger" (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):
- entries: { amount: number; date: string; name?: string; status: 'paid' | 'open' | 'late' }[] = 96-entry sample — One entry per dot, in reading order.
- columns: number = 16 — Maximum number of columns; fewer are used when the container is narrow.
- minDot: number = 14 — Smallest dot diameter in px before the grid drops a column.
- gap: number = 8 — Space between dots in px.
- format: (n: number) => string = en-US, two decimals — Formats the amount on the tag and in the screen-reader label.
- prefix: string = '' — Small prefix before the amount, such as a currency sign.
- legend: boolean = true — Show the paid, open and late legend with counts under the grid.
- onSelect: (entry: LedgerEntry | null, index: number | null) => void — Called when a dot is pinned by click, tap or Enter, and with null when the pin is cleared.
- accent: string = var(--pt-accent, #ff4b2b) — Colour of paid dots and late rings.
- tone: 'light' | 'dark' = 'light' — Ink colours for paper or black grounds; --pt-ink, --pt-muted, --pt-line, --pt-surface and --pt-ledger-open override them.
- label: string = 'Transactions' — Accessible name of the grid.
- className: string — Extra classes on the root.
- style: CSSProperties — Inline style overrides on the root.

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