Text Effects
Animated and decorative text treatments — staged reveals, typing, particle and cursor-repel effects, and clipped gradients.
Preview
Access granted to the mainframe
Controls
Device view renders in an isolated frame so real responsive breakpoints apply. Switch to Full for overflowing popovers.
Installation
php artisan ui:add encrypted-text
Behavior layer (Alpine)
This component installs a self-registering Alpine module to
resources/js/ui/encrypted-text.js. Import the behavior layer once
from your bundle so it loads (it hooks alpine:init):
import './encrypted-text.js';

Guidance
Expressive and showcase effectSupport brand expression or a showcase moment.
Use when
- Use only when visual expression supports storytelling, brand differentiation, or a clear showcase moment. Do not place heavy effects in task-dense workflows where clarity, speed, and readability matter more.
Avoid when
- Avoid using encrypted-text as a default simply because it is available in the library. Choose it only when its interaction cost, visibility, and behavior match the job to be done.
- Task length
- short
- Interaction cost
- medium
- Interruptiveness
- low
- Input precision
- none
- Mobile / touch risk
- high
- Accessibility risk
- high
- Needs background context
- No
- Comparison needed
- No
Preferred alternatives
- Static content-first presentation
Anti-patterns
- Heavy effects in forms or task-dense workflows
- Motion that interferes with reading or focus

Capabilities
Behavior
- Uses server-rendered Blade and semantic HTML.
- Installs a JavaScript behavior module when the registry item includes resources/js/ui files.
- Declares registry capability flags: a11y, interactive, responsive, rtl, darkMode, localized, reducedMotion.
Usage
<x-ui.encrypted-text as="p" class="text-xl font-semibold tracking-tight">Access granted to the mainframe</x-ui.encrypted-text>
Accessibility & localization
data-slot
Keyboard focus-visible
Localized labels
- Accessibility target: wcag-2.2-aa-target.
- Uses semantic HTML and a stable
data-slotattribute for styling/scripting hooks. - Focus-visible rings use the
ringtoken so keyboard focus is always visible. - Disabled and invalid states are conveyed to assistive tech, not by color alone.
- Targets WCAG 2.2 AA; verify contrast in light, dark, admin and customer surfaces above.
- Labels go through
__()and the component uses logical properties (ms-*,text-start,start-*) so it mirrors correctly — flip the preview to RTL to confirm.
