Number Ticker

Counts up when it scrolls into view.

Installation

CLI

npx shadcn@latest add https://hantui-theta.vercel.app/r/number-ticker.json

Manual

  1. Install the dependencies

    npm install clsx motion tailwind-merge
  2. Add the shared helpers

    Components use cn() from lib/utils.ts and the motion tokens below. See Installation if you have not set them up yet.

Usage

import { NumberTicker } from "@/components/ui/number-ticker/number-ticker";

export function Stat() {
  return <NumberTicker value={12480} suffix="+" className="text-4xl font-semibold" />;
}

// Currency, compact
<NumberTicker value={1284000} format={{ style: "currency", currency: "USD", notation: "compact" }} />

API reference

PropTypeDefaultDescription

fromnumber0Where the first count starts.
durationnumber1.4Seconds the count takes.
delaynumber0Seconds before the first count starts.
trigger"inView" | "mount""inView"Count once scrolled into view, or straight away.
decimalsnumber–Decimal places shown while counting. Defaults to the decimals in `value`.
formatIntl.NumberFormatOptions–Intl.NumberFormat options, e.g. { style: "currency", currency: "USD" }.

prefixstring–Text before the number, e.g. "+".
suffixstring–Text after the number, e.g. "k users".

Also accepts every native <span> attribute, including ref and className.

  • Counting runs on a Motion value written straight to the DOM, so it never re-renders React.
  • An invisible copy of the final value reserves the space: counting never shifts the layout. Large standalone numbers use proportional figures, which read better than tabular ones at display sizes.
  • Changing `value` counts on from the number on screen, not from `from`.

Accessibility

  • Screen readers read the final value from a visually hidden copy; the counting digits are aria-hidden, so intermediate numbers are never announced.
  • If the value updates live and should be announced, wrap it in your own aria-live region.
  • With reduced motion enabled, the final number appears immediately.
