Cursor Shadow Text

The heading casts a real drop shadow whose direction tracks the cursor — like a single fixed light moving across the room.

Usage

import CursorShadowText from '@crazygl/hero-cursor-shadow-text';

export default function Hero() {
  return (
    <CursorShadowText
      heading="follow the light"
      shadowColor="#5b8def"
      maxOffset={40}
      blur={12}
    />
  );
}

Customise

Content — heading text.
Shadow — shadowColor, maxOffset (how far the shadow throws at the screen edges), blur.
Typography — textColor, fontSize, headingFontFamily (Google Font), headingFontWeight.
Backdrop — transparentBackground toggle and bgColor.

Best for

Minimal, interactive landing headlines that reward a moving cursor.
Portfolios and agency sites wanting a tactile, playful headline.
Product launches where a single bold word should feel physical and lit.

01 · Install the package

One command, zero config.

npm install @crazygl/hero-cursor-shadow-text

02 · Render the component

Import once, drop it in.

The component takes the same props you see in the live customizer on the right — every default ships poster-quality.

hero.tsx

import CursorShadowText from '@crazygl/hero-cursor-shadow-text';

export default function Landing() {
  return (
    <CursorShadowText />
  );
}

03 · Use it in a page

SSR-safe by default.

The wrapper renders static HTML on the server and only initialises the canvas after hydration, so search engines see your copy.

page.tsx

// app/page.tsx — works in SSR-first frameworks (Next, Remix, Astro, etc.)
'use client';

import CursorShadowText from '@crazygl/hero-cursor-shadow-text';

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <section>
      <CursorShadowText
        heading="Say hi."
        subheading="Your new hero."
      />
      <article>
        <h2>Welcome</h2>
        <p>Your content keeps its own voice below the hero.</p>
      </article>
    </section>
  );
}
