Can the gauge show coloured zones?

Yes. Pass bands, such as green to 60, accent to 85 and red to 100, and the needle takes the colour of the band it sits in.

How do I install Gauge?

Gauge is part of Charcoal UI Pro. Add the @charcoal registry to components.json with your access token, then run npx shadcn@latest add @charcoal/gauge. It copies gauge.tsx into components/ui and installs motion, clsx, tailwind-merge.

Is Gauge free for commercial use?

Gauge needs a Charcoal UI Pro seat, monthly or a one-time lifetime price. A seat covers unlimited personal and commercial projects, including client work, and every future Pro component.

Does Gauge work with Next.js?

Yes. It is a client component for React 19 styled with Tailwind CSS 4, so it works in the Next.js App Router and Pages Router, Vite, Remix and Astro.

Can an AI coding agent install Gauge?

Yes. Connect the Charcoal UI MCP server (https://charcoalui.com/mcp) to Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client; get_component returns Gauge's props and get_install_command returns the exact command.

About Gauge

Gauge is a dial with colour bands and tick marks whose needle swings to the value on an underdamped spring, overshooting a touch, while the readout counts along.

Gauge is a display component 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.

Goal progress.

How it works

The arc and bands are SVG paths and the needle rotates with a spring. It is a meter role with min, max and value.

Interactive parts are buttons or links with accessible names, decorative layers are hidden from assistive tech, and everything is reachable by keyboard. With prefers-reduced-motion on, it holds still or settles instantly instead of animating.

Customizing Gauge

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 value, arc, ticks live, and the Code tab updates to match, so the snippet you copy already carries your values.

min (number, default 0).
max (number, default 100).
