Motion dialogs
Five modal dialogs with showy entrances: flip, swing, zoom, elastic and rotate. Each is self-contained (no radix), sized, token-driven, and closes on backdrop click or Escape.
Installation
The styled layer is free and installs like any other ai2 component.
Run the following command
npx shadcn@latest add @ai2/dialog-motionDependencies, the @ai2/tokens theme and the component file are installed together.

/* Motion dialog family: 5 showy modals. The panel itself is plain (bg-popover); the
DIFFERENCE is the enter/exit animation. Each export is a complete dialog:
internal open/closed state (uncontrolled defaultOpen or controlled
open/onOpenChange), NO radix or portal - a self-contained fixed backdrop + fixed
panel. It closes on a backdrop click, Escape or the close button. The panel takes
focus on open. AnimatePresence handles enter/exit; under reduced motion ALL
transforms drop away and only an opacity fade remains. Color comes ONLY from
tokens, via alpha color-mix. For the 3D variants there is an inline perspective
style on the backdrop. */

Variations
5 takes on the same idea. Each is its own export, and every one accepts a size prop (sm, md, lg, xl) aligned to the base Button scale.
Flip
Flips open in 3D around its top edge.

The ai2 Motion dialogs are a set of 5 decorative button variations from the styled layer of the @ai2 design system, built around self-contained modal dialogs with showy entrances. They are free and MIT licensed, and every color comes from a semantic token, so they theme with the rest of ai2 in light and dark.
Motion runs on framer-motion: framer-motion animates a distinct 3D flip, pendulum swing, zoom, elastic spring or rotate on enter and exit; the backdrop fades. The styled layer is opt-in, so the dependency only lands if you use it; the base components stay lean. Under reduced motion, the transforms are skipped and the dialog fades instead.
What is in the ai2 Motion dialogs?
5 exports in one file: Flip, Swing, Zoom, Elastic and Rotate. Each renders a native button and takes a size prop (sm, md, lg, xl) aligned to the base Button. They are separate from the base Button on purpose: the base keeps its clean variant, tone and size axes, while the styled layer carries the effects.
You own the file. Copy the one category file and you have all 5 variations, with no runtime dependency on ai2 itself.
Why use it
- On-system by construction: Every color resolves to an ai2 semantic token, so the buttons follow your theme in light and dark with no extra work.
- Effect without the sprawl: The decorations live in a dedicated styled file, so the base Button keeps its clean, predictable API.
- Accessible and honest: Each renders a real button element, keeps a visible focus ring, and respects prefers-reduced-motion.
Features
- Token-driven color: No hardcoded hex or oklch; the look recolors with your theme tokens.
- framer-motion: framer-motion animates a distinct 3D flip, pendulum swing, zoom, elastic spring or rotate on enter and exit; the backdrop fades.
- Reduced-motion aware: Under prefers-reduced-motion, the transforms are skipped and the dialog fades instead.
- Size aligned to the base: Every variation takes sm, md, lg and xl matching the base Button height scale, so styled and base buttons line up in a row.
Production tips
- Use it for emphasis, not everywhere: Styled buttons draw the eye. Reserve them for the one action you want people to take on a screen, and use the base Button for the rest.
- Keep labels as verbs: The decoration adds weight, so a clear action label keeps the button scannable.
- Pick one variation per surface: The variations share a family; using two different ones in the same view competes for attention.
Works with the rest of ai2
The Motion dialogs sit alongside the base Button and the rest of the @ai2 registry. They share the same token file, so a styled action next to a base button or a badge stays visually consistent in both modes.
