About Order Book
Order Book lists asks above and bids below with cumulative depth bars, the mid price and spread between them, and rows that flash when their size changes. A meter shows the balance between buying and selling.
Order Book is an animated chart 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 Order Book
- Crypto and stock trading screens.
- Exchange and DEX interfaces.
- Market data demos.
- Auction and bidding tools.
How it works
Depth bars are scaled to the deepest cumulative level. Size changes flash green or red briefly, and prices use tabular figures with the decimals you set, so columns never jitter as data updates.
Each chart has a text alternative, hover tooltips are mirrored by keyboard focus where data points are interactive, and colour is never the only way a value is shown. With prefers-reduced-motion on, it holds still or settles instantly instead of animating.
Customizing Order Book
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 live live, and the Code tab updates to match, so the snippet you copy already carries your values.
- bids / asks.
- decimals (number, default 2).
- rows (number, default 8).
