Viewport

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

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 text-gradient 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

Usage

previews.components.text-gradient.default.blade.php Blade

<div class="space-y-6">
    {{-- Default gradient: from-primary -> to-accent --}}
    <x-ui.text-gradient as="h2" class="text-4xl font-bold">
        {{ __('Build beautiful interfaces faster') }}
    </x-ui.text-gradient>

    {{-- Override with a via stop for a three-color gradient --}}
    <x-ui.text-gradient as="h2" via="via-accent" to="to-primary" class="text-4xl font-bold">
        {{ __('Designed with semantic tokens') }}
    </x-ui.text-gradient>
</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.
