Nexus UI

Domino Progress, animated React component

A deploy pipeline drawn as a line of standing dominoes. Each completed step tips the current tile onto the next, which wobbles from the hit and lights up as the active step. Pause opens a gap so the falling tile lands flat on the table, Resume slides the next tile in and the chain carries on to Live, and Reset ripples every tile back upright. Buttons, status text and a live region keep it usable without the animation.

Add it to your project

  1. 1

    Set up your project once

    You need a Next.js project with Tailwind CSS and the @/ import alias. In its root folder, run this once. It creates components.json and the cn() helper in src/lib/utils.ts:

    npx shadcn@latest init -d

    Starting from nothing? The Quick Start walks through the whole thing.

  2. 2

    Connect the registry

    Run this once per project. It writes the Nexus UI entry into components.json for you:

    npx shadcn@latest registry add "@nexus-labs=https://www.nexus-ui.com/api/registry/{name}"

    Type it exactly as shown. {name} is filled in by the CLI with the component you ask for, so you never replace it.

  3. 3

    Add the component

    Run this from your project root. It adds the component, the helpers it imports and its npm packages.

    npx shadcn@latest add @nexus-labs/domino-progress
  4. 4

    Check what was added

    With a project made as in the Quick Start (a src/ folder), these files land in it:

    components/
    domino-progress/
    domino-progress.tsx
    index.ts
  5. 5

    Copying by hand? Skip the registry

    Instead of steps 2 and 3 you can copy the files yourself, with no registry and no API key. Step 1 still applies, so that cn() exists. Install the packages:

    npm install framer-motion

    Then show the source and create each file at the path it gives:

  6. 6

    Use it in a page

    Installing only adds the files. Import the component in a page and render it. The Usage tab on the preview shows a fuller example with props:

    // src/app/page.tsx
import { DominoProgress } from "@/components/domino-progress";

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <main>
      <DominoProgress />
    </main>
  );
}
