Liquid Blob

A drop of liquid chrome slowly reshaping in a studio.

liquid-blob-demo.tsx

import { LiquidBlob } from "@/components/liquid-blob";

export function Hero() {
  return (
    <LiquidBlob className="flex h-[560px] items-end p-10" palette="gilt">
      <h1 className="text-5xl font-semibold tracking-tight text-white">
        Your headline
      </h1>
    </LiquidBlob>
  );
}

Installation

pnpm dlx shadcn@latest add @gradients-pro/liquid-blob

Needs a Pro account and the Pro registry setup.

Usage

import { LiquidBlob } from "@/components/liquid-blob";

<LiquidBlob className="h-[560px]">{children}</LiquidBlob>;

It fills its box, so give it a height. Children render on top.
