Solar Arc

Install

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

Install the pastetaste component "Solar Arc" (solar-arc) into this Next.js project and use it.

What it is: The day as a dotted arc from sunrise to sunset with the sun at the current time, the clock in the middle and a night state. Times from props or the sunrise equation; drag the sun to preview, it springs back.

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/solar-arc.json
   (it writes components/pastetaste/solar-arc.tsx and its pastetaste dependencies: widget-frame; install any npm packages it reports: motion@^12.23.0).
2. Import it: import { SolarArc } from "@/components/pastetaste/solar-arc" (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):
- sunrise / sunset: string | number = '06:12' / '18:04' — Times as 'HH:MM' or minutes after midnight. Ignored when location is set.
- time: string | number = live clock — The current time as 'HH:MM' or minutes after midnight. Without it the card follows the clock (updated every 15 s after mount).
- location: { lat: number; lon: number; timeZone?: string } — Compute today's sunrise and sunset for a place with the sunrise equation; timeZone is an IANA name and defaults to the viewer's.
- scrub: boolean = true — Drag the sun, or use arrow keys (±15 min), Page keys (±1 h), Home or Escape (back to now), to preview another time. The sun springs back on release or blur.
- hour12: boolean = false — Show the clock and the end times in 12-hour form with AM or PM.
- caption: string = today's date — Mono caption top left, e.g. a city name.
- tone / accent: WidgetTone / string = 'dark' / token — Tile surface and the one accent colour (the sun and the elapsed dots).
- solarTimes(when, lat, lon, tz?): (…) => { sunrise: number; sunset: number } | null — Named export: sunrise and sunset in minutes after local midnight, or null in polar day or night.
