Shiny text

A band of light sweeps across the text, again and again.

Background Studio: tune it below, then copy the code

Your system asks for reduced motion: the demo shows its final state and nothing moves.

Shiny text example

A light passes over the words.

Code

It follows the controls above: change an option and the code changes with it.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="/axi0/motion/motion.css?v=6">
<script src="/axi0/motion/motion.js?v=10" defer></script>

<p class="demo-big"><span data-motion="shiny">A light passes over the words.</span></p>

import { Shiny } from "./motion/react/Shiny";

<Shiny>Your content</Shiny>

<script setup lang="ts">
import Shiny from "./motion/vue/Shiny.vue";
</script>

<template>
  <Shiny>Your content</Shiny>
</template>

const el = document.querySelector("#title");
el.dataset.motion = "shiny";

The wrappers: Shiny.tsx (React, TypeScript) and Shiny.vue (Vue). Both render the same attributes as the HTML; the loader does the rest.

Options

Attribute	Default	What it does
`data-motion-speed`	`3`	seconds per pass
`data-motion-color`	auto	the band's color; auto mixes a light shade of the text color

Pure CSS once started; paused off screen and in hidden tabs. Reduced motion: plain text. The text keeps its color for contrast checks and theme changes.

Size

shiny.js is 0.4 KB gzip. A page loads the loader (2.7 KB) and core.js (1.4 KB) once, whatever it uses.
