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.

* Retains upstream pointer-relative ripple sizing and expanding/fading circle. Corrects rapid-click cleanup via animationend and keeps immediate state feedback for keyboard activation and reduced motion.

Where it works well
Provide visible confirmation on an occasional touch-friendly action.
Reduced motion
The click updates its text feedback without the expanding ripple.
Things to know
The action only increments a local preview count. Ripples are bounded to eight and remove themselves when their animation ends.
