Install below dependencies on your React app.
# with yarn
yarn add three @react-three/fiber shadergradient framer-motion
yarn add -D @types/three
# with npm
npm i three @react-three/fiber shadergradient framer-motion
npm i -D @types/three
# with pnpm
pnpm add three @react-three/fiber shadergradient framer-motion
pnpm add -D @types/three
Drop the gradient component on your canvas. Then you can customize it with props.

- without-store.mjs (v2):
- Current version
- Stateless React components
- More flexible and easier to integrate into various state management systems
- Will continue to be developed and improved
- with-store.mjs (v1):
- Legacy version
- Includes built-in state management (using Zustand)
- Useful for quick setup but less flexible
- Will be maintained but not actively developed
-
For general React environments (current version, stateless):
import { ShaderGradient } from 'shadergradient'
This imports from
/dist/without-store.mjs
-
For React with legacy Storized Control UI:
import { ShaderGradient } from 'shadergradient/with-store'
This imports from
/dist/with-store.mjs
Example: shadergradient-web.vercel.app/customize (Next.js)
- For ESM-supported React applications (current version, stateless):
https://esm-shadergradient.onrender.com/without-store.mjs
- For use in the Framer canvas (legacy Storized Control UI):
https://esm-shadergradient.onrender.com/with-store.mjs
Example: shadergradient.co/customize (Framer Sites) - For use in Figma plugins:
https://esm-shadergradient.onrender.com/with-store.mjs
This version is mixed with DB code and uses the same store as StoreGradient.
Note: All ESM modules are dynamically served based on client IPs. We refer to this system as "ESM Editor" and use it for development purposes.
shadergradient/
├─ src/
│ ├─ (current version code)
├─ src-dev/
├─ (previously used for staging new features)
The src
and src-dev
folders exist only within the shadergradient package directory. Previously, src-dev
was used as a staging area for new versions due to version management limitations in Framer.
However, we are phasing out this approach:
- The
src-dev
folder is no longer actively used for development. - We will no longer maintain separate
src
andsrc-dev
directories for version management. - Future version management and development will be handled directly within the Framer project.
This change will simplify our development process and align it more closely with standard practices. All new features and updates will be developed and tested within the Framer project environment, ensuring better integration and easier maintenance.
