About Banner Stack
Banner Stack holds banners like a deck three deep; hover fans them into a list and dismissing one slides the next forward.
Banner Stack is an UI transition for React 19, styled with Tailwind CSS 4 and animated with Motion. It drops into Next.js, Vite, Remix or Astro through the shadcn CLI as a single file you own.
When to use Banner Stack
- Announcements.
- System notices.
- Promotions.
- Release notes.
How it works
Layout animation moves banners between stacked and fanned positions.
The change it animates is also announced to assistive tech, and the motion is short enough never to block what the user wants to do. With prefers-reduced-motion on, it holds still or settles instantly instead of animating.
Customizing Banner Stack
Every prop is documented in the API reference above with its type and default. The ones you will reach for first are listed here.
The Customize panel next to the preview lets you change depth live, and the Code tab updates to match, so the snippet you copy already carries your values.
- banners (Banner[]).
- depth (number, default 3).
