Component 8

About

A draggable 3D cube built with pure CSS transforms that lets you place custom content on each of its six faces and control its rotation via a ref.

Built with React and Tailwind. Copy the prompt and paste it into Claude Code, Cursor or Lovable: your agent adds 3D CSS Box to your project and fits it to your theme.

Code

How 3D CSS Box is used: the demo's code. The component's own source comes with a free account.

Usage.tsx

import CSSBox, { CSSBoxRef } from "@/components/ui/css-box";
import { useEffect, useRef } from "react";
import { cn } from "@/lib/utils";

const BoxText = ({ className }: { className?: string }) => (
  <div
    className={cn(
      "w-full h-full text-white flex items-center justify-center p-2 text-sm font-bold bg-transparent",
      className,
    )}
  >
    ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE
  </div>
);

    const animate = async () => {
      const delay = (ms: number) =>
        new Promise((resolve) => setTimeout(resolve, ms));

        // Rotate to right face
        for (let i = 0; i < boxRefs.current.length; i++) {
          boxRefs.current[i]?.showRight();
          await delay(50);
