# Morph Icons

> Icon buttons whose glyphs physically transform: a menu folds into a cross, play melts into pause, plus collapses into minus, a speaker grows sound waves, copy draws a tick, a chevron turns over. Path interpolation on springs, accessible toggle semantics.

## Install

One-time setup (needs a subscription):

1. Add the registry to the project's `components.json`: `{"@assembli":{"url":"https://www.assembli.design/r/{name}.json","headers":{"Authorization":"Bearer ${ASSEMBLI_API_KEY}"}}}` (merge into `"registries"`).
2. Put an API key from https://www.assembli.design/account in `.env.local` as `ASSEMBLI_API_KEY=asm_…`.

Then install with the shadcn CLI (writes `components/morph-icons/morph-icons.tsx` and installs dependencies):

```bash
npx shadcn@latest add @assembli/morph-icons
```

Registry item JSON: https://www.assembli.design/r/morph-icons.json (send `Authorization: Bearer <api key>`)
