## What it is
A React component library that recreates Apple's Liquid Glass visual effect with configurable refraction, blur, chromatic aberration, and elastic mouse-following behavior. It wraps arbitrary child content in a glass container with hover and click effects.

## Use cases
- add apple liquid glass effect to react app
- create glassmorphism cards in react
- frosted glass button component
- refraction displacement effect for ui
- animated glass container that follows the mouse
- chromatic aberration effect on web components

## When to choose
- you want Apple's Liquid Glass look in a React project
- you need configurable glass effects (blur, saturation, elasticity, aberration)
- you want a drop-in component wrapping arbitrary children

## When to avoid
- your primary target is Safari or Firefox, where displacement is not visible
- you need a framework-agnostic vanilla CSS solution
- you need broad browser compatibility for the full effect

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: ui-components, animation, frontend-framework
- domain: frontend, web-development, web-design
- platform: browser, cross-platform
- tags: react, glassmorphism, liquid-glass, css-effects, typescript, visual-effects, nodejs
