# Fan Deck

> Vane pack: a swatch fan of ten clear tinted acrylic blades between two glossy black covers on a chrome rivet. It fans open, out to a full circle and shut again, each blade dragged a beat behind the one above it, and the blade under your pointer slides out of the deck like a swatch being picked. Tap to fan on, drag to spread it. Traced exactly in WebGL.

## Props

Other props pass through to the root element.

| Prop | Type | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `palette` | `VanePalette` | `"citrus"` | A preset palette. Every piece in the pack reads the same colors. |
| `colors` | `Partial<VaneColors>` |  | Override any color of the palette, as any CSS color. |
| `studio` | `string` |  | The studio sweep behind the piece, as any CSS color: what its blades reflect and what shows through them. Match it to the page behind. By default it's a soft grey, or near black on dark surfaces. |
| `speed` | `number` |  | Playback speed. 0 holds the moment; reduced motion always holds it. |
| `interactive` | `boolean` |  | Hover, drag and tap to play with the piece. |
| `poke` | `number` |  | Change this value to set the piece off on cue, as a tap would. |
| `shadow` | `boolean` |  | Shade on the floor, for pieces that stand on one. |
| `surface` | `"auto" \| "light" \| "dark"` |  | What the piece sits on. "auto" follows the page theme; set "light" or "dark" when it sits on its own backdrop. |
| `rotate` | `[number, number]` |  | Move the camera, in degrees: [higher, round to the right]. |

## 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/vane-fan/vane-fan.tsx` and installs dependencies):

```bash
npx shadcn@latest add @assembli/vane-fan
```

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