Island Morph

NavigationInteraction

One black pill that morphs between states (timer, call, music, upload, hint, success): it measures the incoming view and springs its size to fit, with a scale-and-blur hand-off.

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/island-morph.tsx.

npx shadcn@latest add https://pastetaste.com/r/island-morph.json
Dependenciesmotion@^12.23.0

Prompt

Install the pastetaste component "Island Morph" (island-morph) into this Next.js project and use it.

What it is: One black pill that morphs between states (timer, call, music, upload, hint, success): it measures the incoming view and springs its size to fit, with a scale-and-blur hand-off.

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/island-morph.json
   (it writes components/pastetaste/island-morph.tsx; install any npm packages it reports: motion@^12.23.0).
2. Import it: import { IslandMorph } from "@/components/pastetaste/island-morph" (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):
- state: string — Key of the view to show; unknown keys fall back to the first view.
- views: Record<string, { content: ReactNode; label?: string; padding?: CSSProperties['padding'] }> — Content slot per state. Content is measured, so the pill fits it exactly; label is announced politely to screen readers.
- tone: 'ink' | 'paper' = 'ink' — Black pill or white pill.
- accent: string = var(--pt-accent, #ff4a2e) — The one accent: focus ring, meters, primary buttons.
- radius: number = 30 — Largest corner radius in px; shorter pills stay fully round.
- speed: number = 1 — Spring pace; 2 is twice as quick.
- label: string = 'Live activity' — Accessible name of the group.

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