# Layers

> Optic pack: three thin sheets of optical glass hovering one above another, the classic layers mark. They breathe apart and back together in a slow wave, each casting color onto the one below and a soft shadow onto the table. A tap fans them round a quarter turn each, one after another. Raymarched in WebGL.

## Install

One-time setup (needs a subscription):

1. Add the registry to the project's `components.json`: `{"@assembli":{"url":"https://www.assembli.design/r/{name}.json","headers":{"Authorization":"Bearer ${ASSEMBLI_API_KEY}"}}}` (merge into `"registries"`).
2. Put an API key from https://www.assembli.design/account in `.env.local` as `ASSEMBLI_API_KEY=asm_…`.

Then install with the shadcn CLI (writes `components/optic-layers/optic-layers.tsx` and installs dependencies):

```bash
npx shadcn@latest add @assembli/optic-layers
```

Registry item JSON: https://www.assembli.design/r/optic-layers.json (send `Authorization: Bearer <api key>`)
