The BentoGrid is an incredibly popular layout pattern inspired by bento boxes. Our implementation provides a BentoGrid container that handles staggered entrance animations, and a BentoCard component that provides a beautiful glassmorphism aesthetic with 3 interactive hover variants.

Fast Performance

Built on top of cutting-edge technologies to ensure lighting fast speeds.

High Accuracy

Precision engineering for your most critical workflows.

Scale Instantly

Deploy to the edge in seconds.

Standard Float:Cards slide up slightly when hovered.

Architecture Note

The grid is composed of two components:

  1. <BentoGrid />: The outer container. It sets up the CSS Grid (defaults to 3 columns on desktop) and orchestrates the entrance animation.
  2. <BentoCard />: The individual cells. You can easily make a card span multiple columns by passing Tailwind classes like `className="@md:col-span-2"`.

Usage Guide

1. Import the Component

Import the component into your React or Next.js page:

import { BentoGrid } from "@/components/creative/bento-grid";

2. Implementation Example

Render the component and customize its behavior by passing props:

import { BentoGrid } from "@/components/creative/bento-grid";

export default function Example() {
  return (
    <div className="w-full flex items-center justify-center p-8">
      <BentoGrid
        speed{10}
        scale{10}
        color="example"
      >
        <div>Content goes here</div>
      </BentoGrid>
    </div>
  );
}
Performance Notes
  • Uses CSS hardware acceleration via GPU transform-binds.
  • Damped interpolation minimizes paint-redraw flashes.
  • Tree-shakable import: only compiles elements requested.
Accessibility Notes
  • Full keyboard focus-ring navigation support (`Tab`/`Shift+Tab`).
  • ARIA roles mapped correctly for assistive screen readers.
  • Respects `prefers-reduced-motion` system toggles.
