Torch Card

Install

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

Install the pastetaste component "Torch Card" (torch-card) into this Next.js project and use it.

What it is: A card lit by a torch that follows the pointer: a soft wash across the surface plus a sharper highlight on the border only. Pointer position goes to CSS variables, no re-render per move.

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/torch-card.json
   (it writes components/pastetaste/torch-card.tsx; install any npm packages it reports).
2. Import it: import { TorchCard } from "@/components/pastetaste/torch-card" (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):
- radius: number = 320 — Radius of the light in px.
- light: string = var(--pt-torch-light, rgba(255,190,110,0.22)) — Wash colour.
- edge: string = var(--pt-torch-edge, rgba(255,214,160,0.9)) — Border highlight colour.
- intensity: number = 1 — Strength of the wash, 0 to 1.
- border: number = 1 — Border thickness in px.
- rounded: number = 18 — Corner radius in px.
- rest: [number, number] = [50, 0] — Resting light position in %, used for touch and reduced motion.
- as: 'div' | 'article' | 'section' | 'a' = 'div' — Rendered element.
- href: string — Link target when `as="a"`.

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