Stretch Index
A list of rows that open in place. The row you're on grows taller, its tab widens into a photo, the title slides over to make room and the details rise out from under it, while the rows below glide down.

Installation
Add the component on its own with the CLI, or copy the file in by hand.
The CLI writes components/ui/stretch-index.tsx and installs motion, clsx and tailwind-merge. It needs the @keyframeui registry in components.json; add it once per project.
npx shadcn@latest add @keyframeui/stretch-indexInstall the dependencies
npm i motion clsx tailwind-mergeAdd the cn helper
Skip this if you already use shadcn/ui.
lib/utils.tsimport { clsx, type ClassValue } from "clsx"; import { twMerge } from "tailwind-merge"; export function cn(...inputs: ClassValue[]) { return twMerge(clsx(inputs)); }Copy the source into your project

Props
| Prop | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
childrenRequired | React.ReactNode | None | The rows, as StretchIndexItems. |
defaultIndex | number | null | null | The row that starts open. null starts with every row closed. |
index | number | null | None | The open row, or null for none. Set it with onIndexChange to control the list from outside. |
onIndexChange | (index: number | null) => void | None | Called when a row opens, or with null when the open row closes. |
openOn | "hover" | "click" | "hover" | hover opens the row under the pointer once it slows down, and the row keyboard focus reaches. click waits for a click, tap or Enter, and a second one closes a row without a link. |
collapseOnLeave | boolean | false | Close the open row when the pointer or keyboard focus leaves the list. Otherwise the last row opened stays open. |
dim | boolean | true | Fade the other rows back while one is open and the pointer or keyboard focus is in the list. |
numbered | boolean | true | Show a 01, 02, … column before the titles. |
imageWidth | string | "clamp(5rem, 24cqi, 11rem)" | Width of an open row's photo, as a CSS length. cqi is a percentage of the list's width. |
imageAspect | number | 4 / 3 | Width-to-height ratio of an open row's photo. 1 for square covers. |
className | string | None | Classes for the list. Rows draw their dividers in the text color, so set text-* here to recolor the whole list. |
item.titleRequired | React.ReactNode | None | StretchIndexItem: the row's title. It's laid out at its open width, so it never rewraps while the row opens. |
item.meta | React.ReactNode | None | StretchIndexItem: short text at the end of the row, like a year, a company or a length. Moves under the title in lists narrower than 32rem. |
item.number | React.ReactNode | None | StretchIndexItem: replaces the automatic 01, 02, … for this row. |
item.href | string | None | StretchIndexItem: makes the whole row a link. On touch, and in click lists, the first tap opens the row and the second follows the link. |
item.image | string | None | StretchIndexItem: photo URL. The tab widens into a frame around it as the row opens. Without one, the frame fills with the accent. |
item.accent | string | None | StretchIndexItem: the color the tab warms to on hover and open, and the frame's color before the photo shows. Defaults to the text color. |
item.children | React.ReactNode | None | StretchIndexItem: details that rise out from under the title when the row opens. Links and buttons in here stay clickable. |
item.className | string | None | StretchIndexItem: classes for the row. It's a group/row with data-state="open" or "closed". |
