Code

How Trail Grid is used: the demo's code. The component's own source comes with a free account.

Usage.tsx

"use client";

import TrailGrid from "@/components/ui/trail-grid";

const settings = {
  cellSize: 40,
  duration: 150,
  cellColor: "#e5e5e5",
  bgColor: "#111111",
};

export default function Demo(props: Partial<typeof settings>) {
  const s = { ...settings, ...props };

  return (
    <div className="h-screen w-screen">
      <TrailGrid
        cellSize={s.cellSize}
        duration={s.duration}
        cellColor={s.cellColor}
        bgColor={s.bgColor}
      />
    </div>
  );
