Build Satisfying Tab and Button Groups with Shadcn Toggle Group
Organize multiple selection choices with our Shadcn Toggle Group components, built using React, Tailwind CSS, and Framer Motion (motion/react). Simple, highly customizable, and easy to configure for modern web applications.
A modular toggle group layout component that provides animated sliding highlights, hover expansions, and full keyboard navigation for dashboard controls.
What is the Shadcn Animated Toggle Group?
The Shadcn Animated Toggle Group collection provides premium, keyboard-accessible grouping containers built on robust Radix UI and Base UI structures, enhanced with state-of-the-art Framer Motion micro-interactions.
These components go beyond simple static button rows by featuring dynamic spring-based sliding highlights, interactive icon-popping physics, icon-fill toggles on select, and custom width-expanding text reveals when hovering.
Toggle Groups are commonly used for:
Layout view switchers (e.g. switching between Grid and List view)
Multi-option filter buttons and state select toolbars
Size, weight, or alignment controllers in content editors
Compact tab-like navigation systems
Why Developers Use Shadcn Animated Toggle Groups
Setting up focus management, keyboard arrow-key navigation, and ARIA roles alongside custom sliding background highlight animations is highly complex. The Toggle Group component abstracts these requirements, enabling fluid, premium interfaces with a few lines of code.
By using Framer Motion's shared layout layoutId context, the active background highlight container slides smoothly across items, creating a cohesive, liquid transition.
