# Moving Grid

> A flat grid that slides steadily one way.

Calmer than a perspective floor: a conveyor or scrolling-map feel behind dashboards, docs heroes and empty states.

- Family: Backgrounds
- Plan: Creative. Included with Creative.
- Requires: React, Tailwind CSS v4 and the motion package
- Page with a live preview: https://galactrex.com/ui/moving-grid/
- Licence: https://galactrex.com/ui/license/

## Install

```sh
npx @galactrex/ui login   # once, with an API key from https://galactrex.com/account/
npx @galactrex/ui add moving-grid
```

It installs to `components/galactrex/moving-grid.tsx`, with the shared motion helpers beside it. First time in a project: `npx @galactrex/ui init` (setup guide: https://galactrex.com/docs/ui-components-setup/).

## Usage

```tsx
import { MovingGrid } from "@/components/galactrex/moving-grid";

<section className="relative overflow-hidden">
  <MovingGrid direction="up" />
  <h1 className="relative">Docs</h1>
</section>
```
