# Animated File Upload
> Animated drag-and-drop file upload component
A File Upload component for React, Tailwind and shadcn by @educlopez, version 1.0.1, MIT licence.
Renders an animated drag-and-drop file upload area with file previews. It scales on drag, shows a bounce animation on drop, and slides files in and out. Use when allowing file selection with visual feedback and animations.
## Install
```bash
npx layro-cli add @educlopez/animated-file-upload
```
Or with shadcn: `npx shadcn@latest add https://layro.dev/r/educlopez/animated-file-upload.json`
npm packages: motion

* drop icon bounces back, file rows slide in staggered
* remove file row slides out right + fades
