Component source

Standalone React component. Styles are included.

React only. No additional packages.

Render the default export inside a container with a defined height. Its optional active prop stops movement when false. This example works with React 19; Next.js projects can use it as a client component.

Where it works well

Compare a focused code change without leaving its surrounding context.

Live system preference disables decorative motion; all controls remain usable. Keyboard actions settle immediately.

Things to know

A focused code-review sample. Acceptance changes local presentation and does not edit files.
