rpadaki/react-typewriter-effect

A package that gives your text a typing effect, with extra features like looping multitext! Forked from kevoese/react-typewriter-effect.

Description

This package lets you create a typewriting effect for text elements

• Typewriter Effect animates when component is in view. By default it uses the document reference to check if component is in view or not. But you can pass the ref object which is scrollable to the scollArea props.

For example

const myRef = document.querySelector('.scrollable-div')

<TypeWriterEffect width="230" trackWidth="13" percentage={score} scrollArea={myRef} />

Otherwise if scrollArea is not defined, document reference object is used.

Set up

To use package, Start by installing package

• npm i react-typewriter-effect

on your react project file

For a single text display

import TypeWriterEffect from 'react-typewriter-effect';

 <TypeWriterEffect
            textStyle={{ fontFamily: 'Red Hat Display' }}
            startDelay={100}
            cursorColor="black"
            text="This is a single text"
            typeSpeed={100}
            scrollArea={myAppRef}
          />

Output

For a multiiple text display

        }}
        startDelay={2000}
        cursorColor="#3F3D56"
        multiText={[
