Ocean Add to Cart Flight

Ghost of the item arcing from the button to the basket and shrinking as it goes, the count bumping only once the flight lands so cause and effect stay in order.

What do I do with this?

  1. Put ocean-add-to-cart-flight-13143.css anywhere your page already loads CSS from — in Next.js that is app/globals.css, or any stylesheet with a <link> in your HTML.
  2. Then put the class on the element you want it on: <button class="fx-v9-micro-cart-ocean-13142">. The CSS does nothing until a class name in it matches something on the page.
  • Link the stylesheet, then paste the markup wherever you need it.
npx hoverlab add ocean-add-to-cart-flight-13143

Was this useful?

Motion safety

Static estimate, read from the CSS

Reduced motion
Brief motion, no guard

Animates briefly or on interaction. Only looping motion gets a guard in this catalog; copy the one from the Insights tab if this ships on a critical path.

What it animates
Repaints

Animates border-color. No reflow, but the browser repaints every frame, which is fine for one element and costly across many.

Flashing (WCAG 2.3.1)
No flashing found

No repeating change in opacity, colour or brightness large enough to count as a flash.

Layout shift (CLS)
No shift expected

Nothing it animates moves or resizes the box in flow. Measured in Chromium: no layout shifts in 7.6 s.

Every row is read from the shipped CSS. Only a figure marked measured came from a browser. Customizing the speed changes the timing, so recheck a customized copy. How it is computed
