This component is created on top of the Mantine library. It requires Mantine 9.x and React 19.

Mantine BorderAnimate provides a flexible wrapper that turns any Mantine or plain React element into a visually striking component with animated borders. Designed for both aesthetics and performance, it uses CSS animations to deliver smooth 60fps effects and exposes controls to tailor the look and behavior: you can show/hide the border, keep it static or continuously animated, and adjust parameters like size, radius, border width, blur, duration, and color transitions.

The component includes three distinct variants — beam (a traveling glow along the perimeter with two rendering modes: path and conic), glow (a rhythmic pulsation with tunable blur and opacity), and pulse (a subtle expand-and-fade "breathing" effect).

Key features include:

• Two beam rendering modes — path (radial-gradient traveling along the border via CSS offset-path, uniform beam size) and conic (rotating conic-gradient, smooth rotation with customizable wedge spread)
• Custom color stops — multi-color gradients via colorStops for both beam modes
• Pause on hover — pauseOnHover prop to pause animations during user interaction
• Custom timing functions — timingFunction prop for full control over animation easing
• Accessible — automatically respects prefers-reduced-motion to disable animations for users who prefer reduced motion

Advanced visual setups are supported through masking and layering: withMask clips the effect to the border area, while disabling it and using zIndex allows soft background glows behind content. Integration is straightforward via provided stylesheet imports, and examples demonstrate wrapping common Mantine components like Paper, Cards, Buttons, Inputs, and Alerts.

npm install @gfazioli/mantine-border-animate

or

yarn add @gfazioli/mantine-border-animate

After installation import package styles at the root of your application:

import '@gfazioli/mantine-border-animate/styles.css';

import { Stack, Title } from '@mantine/core';
import { BorderAnimate } from '@gfazioli/mantine-border-animate';

function Demo() {
  return (
    <BorderAnimate w={300} p={32}>
      <Stack>
        <Title>This is a title</Title>
        <p>This is a paragraph inside the BorderAnimate component.</p>
      </Stack>
    </BorderAnimate>
  );
}
