# Weekends

> Weekend shading for date-based charts

A Background component for React, Tailwind and shadcn by @bklit, version 1.0.1, MIT licence.

Diagonal-stripe or solid weekend shading behind series on date x axes (line, area, composed, bar)

## Install

```bash
npx layro-cli add @bklit/weekends
```

Or with shadcn: `npx shadcn@latest add https://layro.dev/r/bklit/weekends.json`

npm packages: motion
