Ring Carousel

Install

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

Install the pastetaste component "Ring Carousel" (ring-carousel) into this Next.js project and use it.

What it is: Cards standing on a 3D ring that you drag to spin, with inertia. Back cards fade; keyboard accessible, pauses off-screen, no re-render per frame.

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/ring-carousel.json
   (it writes components/pastetaste/ring-carousel.tsx; install any npm packages it reports).
2. Import it: import { RingCarousel } from "@/components/pastetaste/ring-carousel" (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):
- items: ReactNode[] — One node per card; 5 to 9 works best.
- radius: number = 420 — Ring radius in px.
- width: number = 260 — Card width in px.
- height: number = 340 — Card height in px.
- autoplay: number = 5 — Idle spin in degrees per second; 0 turns it off.
- wheel: boolean = false — Also spin on mouse wheel over the ring.
- hint: string = 'drag to spin' — Hint printed under the ring; empty string hides it.
- label: string = 'Carousel' — Accessible name of the carousel region.
- 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.
