Press Buttons

Install

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

Install the pastetaste component "Press Buttons" (press-buttons) into this Next.js project and use it.

What it is: One button in four materials: frosted glass with a pointer sheen, brushed chrome, a book whose cover sinks onto its pages, and a pill whose letters roll into the accent.

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/press-buttons.json
   (it writes components/pastetaste/press-buttons.tsx; install any npm packages it reports).
2. Import it: import { PressButtons } from "@/components/pastetaste/press-buttons" (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):
- material: 'glass' | 'chrome' | 'book' | 'stagger' = 'glass' — Surface and press physics. Glass needs content or a gradient behind it to be frosted.
- children: ReactNode — The label. The stagger material needs a plain string; screen readers read the whole string once.
- icon: ReactNode — Trailing icon, about 18 px.
- accent: string = var(--pt-accent, #ff4a2e) — The one accent: glass bleed, chrome horizon, book ribbon, incoming stagger letters.
- size: 'sm' | 'md' | 'lg' | 'xl' = 'md' — 40, 52, 64 or 80 px tall (the book adds its page depth).
- href: string — Renders a link instead of a button. All other button or anchor attributes pass through.

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