Meteor Effect

A group of beams in the background of a container, sort of like meteors.

Meteors because they're cool

I don't know what to write so I'll just paste something cool here. One more sentence because lorem ipsum is just unacceptable. Won't ChatGPT the shit out of this.

Installation

Install dependencies

npm i motion clsx tailwind-merge

Add util file

lib/utils.ts

import { ClassValue, clsx } from "clsx";
import { twMerge } from "tailwind-merge";
 
export function cn(...inputs: ClassValue[]) {
  return twMerge(clsx(inputs));
}

Add the animation to your CSS

app/globals.css

@theme inline {
  --animate-meteor-effect: meteor 5s linear infinite;
  
  @keyframes meteor {
    0% {
      transform: rotate(215deg) translateX(0);
      opacity: 1;
    }
    70% {
      opacity: 1;
    }
    100% {
      transform: rotate(215deg) translateX(-500px);
      opacity: 0;
    }
  }
}

Copy the source code

components/ui/meteors.tsx

"use client";
import { cn } from "@/lib/utils";
import { motion } from "framer-motion";
import React from "react";
 
export const Meteors = ({
  number,
  className,
}: {
  number?: number;
  className?: string;
}) => {
  const meteors = new Array(number || 20).fill(true);
  return (
    <motion.div
      initial={{ opacity: 0 }}
      animate={{ opacity: 1 }}
      transition={{ duration: 0.5 }}
    >
      {meteors.map((el, idx) => {
        const meteorCount = number || 20;
        // Calculate position to evenly distribute meteors across container width
        const position = idx * (800 / meteorCount) - 400; // Spread across 800px range, centered
 
        return (
          <span
            key={"meteor" + idx}
            className={cn(
              "animate-meteor-effect absolute h-0.5 w-0.5 rotate-[45deg] rounded-[9999px] bg-slate-500 shadow-[0_0_0_1px_#ffffff10]",
              "before:absolute before:top-1/2 before:h-[1px] before:w-[50px] before:-translate-y-[50%] before:transform before:bg-gradient-to-r before:from-[#64748b] before:to-transparent before:content-['']",
              className,
            )}
            style={{
              top: "-40px", // Start above the container
              left: position + "px",
              animationDelay: Math.random() * 5 + "s", // Random delay between 0-5s
              animationDuration: Math.floor(Math.random() * (10 - 5) + 5) + "s", // Keep some randomness in duration
            }}
          ></span>
        );
      })}
    </motion.div>
  );
};
