Live demo

Features

• Uses CSS gradients when possible (Chrome, Safari, iOS, android).
• Uses SVG as fallback on Firefox.
• The text remains as fluid text (never replaced with svg).
• Font size, family, weight, etc... controlled by CSS as normal.

Installation

npm install react-textgradient --save

Usage

First, require the component

var TextGradient = require('react-textgradient');

And then use it like this:

<TextGradient
    text='React Text Gradient'
    fromColor='#FFFF00'
    toColor='#FF8008'
    direction='right'
    />

And you will get the example of the start of the page.
