Lunar Widget

Install

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

Install the pastetaste component "Lunar Widget" (lunar-widget) into this Next.js project and use it.

What it is: The moon for any date: phase computed from the date, shaded per pixel on a canvas with a real terminator, plus name, illumination and cycle ruler. Optional drag or keyboard scrubbing with a spring back to today.

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/lunar-widget.json
   (it writes components/pastetaste/lunar-widget.tsx and its pastetaste dependencies: widget-frame; install any npm packages it reports: motion@^12.23.0).
2. Import it: import { LunarWidget } from "@/components/pastetaste/lunar-widget" (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):
- date: Date | number | string = now — Date to show. Without it the widget reads the clock after mount and refreshes every ten minutes.
- size: '1x1' | '2x1' = '1x1' — 1x1 stacks moon and name; 2x1 adds a large percentage, the age and a 30-tick cycle ruler.
- scrub: boolean = false — Let the viewer drag the moon sideways or use arrow keys (±1 day), Page keys (±7), Home (today) to move through the days, up to 60 either way.
- caption: string = 'Moon phase' on 2x1 — Mono caption in the top row.
- hemisphere: 'north' | 'south' = 'north' — South turns the moon upside down, as seen from the southern hemisphere.
- tilt: number = 0 — Rotates the terminator axis in degrees.
- tone / accent: WidgetTone / string = 'dark' / token — Tile surface and the accent used by the cycle ruler.
- onDateChange: (date: Date) => void — Called when scrubbing changes the displayed date.
- moonPhase(date): (date) => MoonInfo — Named export: elongation, illumination, age, phase name and days to the next full and new moon, without any UI.
