Usage
Packages are @vikast908/core and
@vikast908/loaders. Prefer 0.1.1+
(0.1.0 loaders is broken on npm).
npm install @vikast908/loaders@0.1.1 @vikast908/core@0.1.1
import '@vikast908/loaders/morph-blob'; <orbux-morph-blob state="thinking"></orbux-morph-blob>
Browser-only alternative: Download HTML (self-contained) or load the hosted ESM bundle:
<script type="module" src="http://localhost:4321/orbux/morph-blob.js"></script> <orbux-morph-blob state="thinking"></orbux-morph-blob>
Component source morph-blob.ts
import { OrbuxElement } from '@vikast908/core';
/**
* Morph Blob: a gradient blob that fluidly morphs its shape while slowly
* rotating. Faster and more energetic while streaming, blockier while calling a
* tool, a smooth green circle on `done`, red and jittery on `error`.

state | AgentState | idle · thinking · streaming · tool-calling · waiting · done · error |
size | CSS length | Overall square size. |
--orbux-width | CSS length | Optional inline-size override. |

paused | boolean | Freeze the animation. |
Respects prefers-reduced-motion, exposes
status/progressbar semantics with a live label, and auto-pauses (sets
data-paused) when offscreen or the tab is hidden.
