# react-type-animation A customizable React typing animation component. ## Installation ```bash npm install react-type-animation ``` or ```bash yarn add react-type-animation ``` Requires a `react` and `react-dom` version of at least 15.0.0. ## Live Demo A live demo and usage examples of the animation can be found at [https://react-type-animation.netlify.app/examples](https://react-type-animation.netlify.app/examples). ## Usage A common typewriter animation for a landing page would look like this: ```jsx import { TypeAnimation } from 'react-type-animation'; const ExampleComponent = () => { return ( ); }; ``` ## Documentation The docs with props, options and common problem solutions can be found at: [https://react-type-animation.netlify.app/](https://react-type-animation.netlify.app/). ## Migrating to v3 The default wrapper is now `` instead of `

`: **To migrate**, add a `display: inline-block/block` or `wrapper="div"` to all `` occurances with unspecified wrapper. ## Usage Notes ### Immutability Due to the nature of the animation, this component is **permanently memoized**, which means that the component **never** re-renders unless you hard-reload the page, and hence **props changes will not be reflected**. ### Hot Reload NOT Supported Because the TypeAnimation component is memoized and **never** re-rendered (see above), yet Hot Reload attempts to re-render the component, **changes to the TypeAnimation component will not render until you hard-reload the page**. Hence, whenever you make changes to the TypeAnimation component, you unfortunately have to reload your page. ## Props See [https://react-type-animation.netlify.app/options](https://react-type-animation.netlify.app/options) for more details. | Prop | Required | Type | Example | Description | Default | |-------------------------|----------|--------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|--------------------| | `sequence` | yes | Array void | Promise)> | `['One', 1000, 'Two', () => console.log("done")]` | Animation sequence: [TEXT, DELAY-MS, CALLBACK] | `-` | | `wrapper` | no | string | `p`,`h2`,`div`, `strong` | HTML element tag that wraps the typing animation | `span` | | `speed` | no | 1,2,..,99 | {type: "keyStrokeDelayInMs", value: number} | `45`, `{type: "keyStrokeDelayInMs", value: 100}` | Speed for the writing of the animation | `40` | | `deletionSpeed` | no | 1,2,..,99 | {type: "keyStrokeDelayInMs", value: number} | `45`, `{type: "keyStrokeDelayInMs", value: 100}` | Speed for deleting of the animation | `speed` | | `omitDeletionAnimation` | no | boolean | `false`, `true` | If true, deletions will be instant and without animation | `false` | | `repeat` | no | number | `0`, `3`, `Infinity` | Amount of animation repetitions | `0` | | `cursor` | no | boolean | `false`, `true` | Display default blinking cursor css-animation | `true` | | `preRenderFirstString` | no | boolean | `false`, `true` | If true, the first string of your sequence will not be animated and initially (pre-)rendered | `true` | | `className` | no | string | `custom-class-name` | HTML class name applied to the wrapper to style the text | `-` | | `style` | no | object | `{fontSize: '2em'}` | JSX inline style object | `-` | | `ref` | no | HTMLElement | null | `-` | `-` | `-` | | `splitter` | no | (text: string) => Array | `(str) => new GraphemeSplitter().splitGraphemes(str)` | Used for splitting complex characters, see [grapheme-splitter](https://github.com/orling/grapheme-splitter) for more details | `String.split('')` | ---
