Are the ai2 Motion paginations free?

Yes. The whole styled layer is free and MIT licensed, like the component core.

Can I change the size?

Yes. Every variation takes a size prop of sm, md, lg or xl, aligned to the base Button height scale.

Motion paginations

Five paginations where the active-page indicator travels instead of jumping: a spring slide, a scaling pop, a cross-fade, a loose bounce and a shape morph. Each carries its own page state, is sized, token-driven and marks the active page with aria-current.

PaginationMotion

Installation

The styled layer is free and installs like any other ai2 component.

Run the following command

npx shadcn@latest add @ai2/pagination-motion

Dependencies, the @ai2/tokens theme and the component file are installed together.

Install dependencies

npm install motion lucide-react

/* Motion pagination family: 5 paginators where the active-page indicator moves
   between pages WITH ANIMATION. The technique differs: a slide with layoutId,
   pop (scale), fade, bounce (a springy hop) and morph (changing shape).
   The layoutId derives from React.useId() - so that when several paginations are
   rendered on the same page the indicators do not fly into each other. All motion
   is gated on useReducedMotion(): in reduced there is no transform and the
   indicator lands instantly. Color comes only from semantic tokens; alpha via
   color-mix. */

Manual installs skip the @ai2/tokens theme, so add the token CSS from the theming guide or the tone colors will be missing.

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.

Slide

The indicator springs across to the new page.

Pop

The indicator scales up as it travels.

Fade

The indicator cross-fades between pages, no transform.

Bounce

A loose spring lets the indicator settle with a bounce.

Morph

The indicator morphs between a circle and a rounded square.

ai2 Motion paginations: 5 styled variations on the token system

The ai2 Motion paginations are a set of 5 decorative button variations from the styled layer of the @ai2 design system, built around page navigation controls with an animated active indicator. 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 moves the indicator between pages with a shared layout animation. The styled layer is opt-in, so the dependency only lands if you use it; the base components stay lean. Under reduced motion, the indicator appears on the active page instantly with no transform.

What is in the ai2 Motion paginations?

5 exports in one file: Slide, Pop, Fade, Bounce and Morph. 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 moves the indicator between pages with a shared layout animation.
Reduced-motion aware: Under prefers-reduced-motion, the indicator appears on the active page instantly with no transform.
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 paginations 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.
