# Halo Search

> Animated search input with gradient border and loading effects

A Search Bar component for React, Tailwind and shadcn by @nolly-studio, version 1.0.0, MIT licence.

Animated search input with gradient border, loading effects, and clear action. Shows placeholder text with staggered reveal and loading line during async operations. Use for interactive search fields requiring visual feedback.

## Install

```bash
npx layro-cli add @nolly-studio/halo-search
```

Or with shadcn: `npx shadcn@latest add https://layro.dev/r/nolly-studio/halo-search.json`

npm packages: @paper-design/shaders-react, motion
