Light Rays

An ambient WebGL backdrop of slow volumetric god-rays sweeping from a focal point; the ray colour follows the --primary token at runtime. Decorative, aria-hidden, reduced-motion-safe.

Viewport

Device view renders in an isolated frame so real responsive breakpoints apply. Switch to Full for overflowing popovers.

Installation

terminal 
php artisan ui:add light-rays

Behavior layer (Alpine)

This component installs a self-registering Alpine module to resources/js/ui/light-rays.js. Import the behavior layer once from your bundle so it loads (it hooks alpine:init):

resources/js/ui/index.js JS 
import './light-rays.js';

Guidance

Expressive and showcase effect

Support 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 light-rays 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

Preferred alternatives

  • Static content-first presentation

Anti-patterns

  • Heavy effects in forms or task-dense workflows
  • Motion that interferes with reading or focus

Usage

previews.components.light-rays.default.blade.php Blade 
<div class="relative h-56 w-full max-w-md overflow-hidden rounded-lg border border-border bg-background">
    <x-ui.light-rays />

</div>

Accessibility & localization

WCAG 2.2 AA RTL-ready data-slot Keyboard focus-visible Localized labels
  • Accessibility target: wcag-2.2-aa-target.
  • Uses semantic HTML and a stable data-slot attribute for styling/scripting hooks.
  • Focus-visible rings use the ring token 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.

Source

The exact, editable file ui:add writes into your app — copy it or own the whole thing. Previews render this same code; there are no preview-only components.
