✨ Features

Proper edgy bending and refraction
Multiple refraction modes
Configurable frosty level
Supports arbitrary child elements
Configurable paddings
Correct hover and click effects
Edges and highlights take on the underlying light like Apple's does
Configurable chromatic aberration
Configurable elasticity, to mimic Apple's "liquid" feel

⚠️ NOTE: Safari and Firefox only partially support the effect (displacement will not be visible)

🚀 Usage

Installation

Basic Usage

import LiquidGlass from 'liquid-glass-react'

function App() {
  return (
    <liquidglass>
      <div classname="p-6">
        <h2>Your content here</h2>
        <p>This will have the liquid glass effect</p>
      </div>
    </liquidglass>

Button Example

<liquidglass displacementscale="{64}" bluramount="{0.1}" saturation="{130}" aberrationintensity="{2}" elasticity="{0.35}" cornerradius="{100}" padding="8px 16px" onclick="{()" ==""> console.log('Button clicked!')}
>
  <span classname="text-white font-medium">Click Me</span>
</liquidglass>

Mouse Container Example

When you want the glass effect to respond to mouse movement over a larger area (like a parent container), use the mouseContainer prop:

function App() {
  const containerRef = useRef<htmldivelement>(null)

  return (
    <div ref="{containerRef}" classname="w-full h-screen bg-image">
      <liquidglass mousecontainer="{containerRef}" elasticity="{0.3}" style="{{" position:="" 'fixed',="" top:="" '50%',="" left:="" '50%'="" }}="">
        <div classname="p-6">
          <h2>Glass responds to mouse anywhere in the container</h2>
        </div>
      </liquidglass>
    </div>
  )
}</htmldivelement>

Props

Prop	Type	Default	Description
`children`	`React.ReactNode`	-	The content to render inside the glass container
`displacementScale`	`number`	`70`	Controls the intensity of the displacement effect
`blurAmount`	`number`	`0.0625`	Controls the blur/frosting level
`saturation`	`number`	`140`	Controls color saturation of the glass effect
`aberrationIntensity`	`number`	`2`	Controls chromatic aberration intensity
`elasticity`	`number`	`0.15`	Controls the "liquid" elastic feel (0 = rigid, higher = more elastic)
`cornerRadius`	`number`	`999`	Border radius in pixels
`className`	`string`	`""`	Additional CSS classes
`padding`	`string`	-	CSS padding value
`style`	`React.CSSProperties`	-	Additional inline styles
`overLight`	`boolean`	`false`	Whether the glass is over a light background
`onClick`	`() => void`	-	Click handler
`mouseContainer`	`React.RefObject \| null`	`null`	Container element to track mouse movement on (defaults to the glass component itself)
`mode`	`"standard" \| "polar" \| "prominent" \| "shader"`	`"standard"`	Refraction mode for different visual effects. `shader` is the most accurate but not the most stable.
`globalMousePos`	`{ x: number; y: number }`	-	Global mouse position coordinates for manual control
`mouseOffset`	`{ x: number; y: number }`	-	Mouse position offset for fine-tuning positioning
