Flow Field

A storm of ink streams advected through an evolving flow field, one stream in seven burns in the accent, and a fine pointer bends the current around itself. Canvas, 60fps-budgeted.

Frequently asked questions

How do I install the Flow Field component?

Register the @cleverui registry in your components.json ("@cleverui": "https://cleverops.com.au/r/{name}.json"), then run `npx shadcn@latest add @cleverui/bg-flow-field`. The shadcn CLI copies the source into your project, you own the code from that point. You can also copy the source directly from this page.

What dependencies does Flow Field require?

Flow Field has no npm dependencies beyond React and Tailwind CSS itself, so there is nothing extra to install or keep updated.

Can I theme Flow Field to match my brand?

Yes. The component is styled entirely with Tailwind utilities over standard design tokens (primary, background, muted, border), so it inherits your existing shadcn/ui theme automatically. Change your CSS variables and the component follows, no source edits needed for palette, radius, or fonts.
