I’m publishing copy-paste React components from my product — here’s a Carousel (full source included)
I’m building Zafiro, and I’m starting to publish parts of the UI I use in the product as copy-paste components.
The idea is simple:
Open a page → copy the full source → paste into your project → tweak it however you want.
Demo + full source code (copy/paste):
https://playzafiro.com/ui/components/carousel/
What you can copy
The page includes everything needed to drop the component into a real codebase:
- React component source
-
styled-componentsstyles - an example items file (so you instantly see the expected data shape)
What the Carousel does
- tile-based carousel / picker layout (worlds/templates/projects style)
- background crossfade (image/video) on hover/focus
- keyboard arrow navigation when focused/active
- easy theming via props + CSS variables
60-second workflow
- Open the link above
- Copy the full source files from the page
- Paste into your project and replace the example items with your own
Notes
The live demo uses real destinations, so clicking a tile performs navigation.
If you want a “stay on page” demo mode, open links in a new tab or intercept navigation in your app.
Feedback welcome
If you try it, I’d love feedback specifically on the copy-paste workflow:
- file structure (what should be included by default)
- naming and defaults (what’s confusing / what’s missing)
- accessibility (focus behavior, keyboard pattern, ARIA suggestions)

the crossfade on hover is a nice touch. i've been using embla for carousels but honestly most of the time i end up ripping out half the features anyway, so copy-paste with just the source makes more sense for simpler cases.
