Ripple effect for react made simple⚛️
React Ripples Continued is a React component library for creating ripples effects.
Run this npm command in the directory of your react application
npm i react-ripples-continued
This library includes two components: Ripples, and RippleSurface.
The Ripples component creates a ripple effect. Note that the parent container should have overflow: "hidden" and position: "relative" for proper functionality.
import { Ripples } from "react-ripples-continued";
export default function Button() {
return (
<button
style={{ overflow: "hidden", position: "relative" /* other styles */ }}
>
react ripples 🎉
<Ripples />
</button>
);
}
RippleSurface Component The RippleSurface component is a wrapper that simplifies implementing the ripple effect on various elements.
import { RippleSurface } from "react-ripples-continued";
export default function CustomComponent() {
return (
<RippleSurface
tag="button"
rippleProps={
{
/* Ripple props */
}
}
>
react ripples 🎉
</RippleSurface>
);
}
All props are optional
- Type:
"click" | "mouseDown" | "clickAndMouseDown" | "hover"
- Default:
"click"
Determines the event that triggers the ripple effect.
- Type:
string
- Default:
"white"
Sets the color of the ripple effect.
- Type:
number
- Default:
1
Sets the opacity of the ripple effect. Accepts values between 0
(completely transparent) and 1
(completely opaque).
- Type:
number
- Default:
0
Sets the blur amount for the ripple effect. The value is in rem
units.
- Type:
number
- Default:
500
Determines the duration of the ripple animation in milliseconds.
- Type:
boolean
- Default:
false
When set to true
, the ripple effect will fill the container and hold its position until a mouse up event occurs.
- Type:
boolean
- Default:
false
When set to true
, the ripple elements will be removed from the DOM after the animation completes. This can be useful for performance optimization in scenarios with frequent ripple triggers, but it's set to false by default, since it can introduce some wierd behaviour.
- Type:
React.ReactNode
- Default:
undefined
When handed JSX it will display that JSX inside the ripple. Keep in mind that you probably want to lower the opacticy of the color prop or set color=""
if you use rippleElement
The rippleElement
prop can be used to do create some pretty cool stuff!

RipplesInterface
Props to be passed to the Ripples component.
This internal function is responsible for creating and animating the ripple effect based on the provided parameters.
This function is not react specific (except ReactDOM.createRoot for prasing JSX/createElement calls to js DOM operations), so it could quite easily be adpated for use with solid, vue, svelte, angular, or any other framework.
This library was built for server side use in mind, primarily for next. Both of the components are tagged with "use clients" to ensure it works.
