You can import CSS in your global styles or from your component. In the case of Next.js, you can import global styles only in layout or _app components.
In your stylesheet
@import "react-mouse-trails/dist";
or in your component
import "react-mouse-trail/dist/index.css";
Here's a revised version of the usage section:
MouseTrail is simple to integrate:
import { MouseTrail } from "react-mouse-trail";
export default function Layout() {
return (
<html lang="en" suppressHydrationWarning>
<body className={inter.className}>
{/* ... */}
<MouseTrail rgb={[1, 0, 0]} />
</body>
</html>
);
}
By default, the RGB value [1, 0, 0] represents the color red.
