Nexus UI

Glass Edit, animated React component

A profile you edit where it stands. Point at any text and it sinks into a faint recess; click it and it lifts onto a pane of glass while the rest of the card steps back. Enter presses it back down with a pass of light to say it saved; Escape winds it back.

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 with your API key

    Glass Edit is a Pro item, so the CLI has to send your API key. Do this once per project:

    1. Create a key at nexus-ui.com/dashboard/api-key. Copy it straight away: it starts with nxs_ and is shown only once.
    2. In your project root, next to package.json, create a file named .env.local with this line, using your own key:
      NEXUS_API_KEY=nxs_your_key_here
    3. Open components.json and add this entry inside the outermost braces, next to "aliases". Leave {name} and ${NEXUS_API_KEY} exactly as written; the CLI fills them in:
      "registries": {
        "@nexus-labs": {
          "url": "https://www.nexus-ui.com/api/registry/{name}",
          "headers": {
            "Authorization": "Bearer ${NEXUS_API_KEY}"
          }
        }
      }
