<script setup lang='ts'>
import { cn } from '@/lib/utils'

interface AnimatedShinyTextProps {
  class?: string
  shimmerWidth?: number
}

const props = withDefaults(defineProps<AnimatedShinyTextProps>(), {
  shimmerWidth: 100
})

const className = cn(
  'mx-auto max-w-md text-neutral-600/70 dark:text-neutral-400/70',

  // Shimmer effect
  'animate-shimmer bg-clip-text bg-no-repeat [background-position:0_0] [background-size:var(--shimmer-width)_100%] [transition:background-position_1s_cubic-bezier(.6,.6,0,1)_infinite]',

            'background-position': 'calc(-100% - var(--shimmer-width)) 0',
          },
          '30%, 60%': {
            'background-position': 'calc(100% + var(--shimmer-width)) 0',
