React Typing Animator is a React component for animating an array of texts like a typing sequence with blinking and a cursor. It can be used in both React and Next.js applications.
You can install the package via npm or yarn:
npm install react-typing-animator
# or
yarn add react-typing-animator
To use the component, import it into your project, provide an array of texts to the textArray prop, and customize the behavior and styles using other available props. Additionally, don't forget to import the CSS file for the component to work as intended.
import React from 'react';
import TypingAnimator from 'react-typing-animator';
import 'react-typing-animator/styles.css';
function App() {
const textArray = ['Welcome', 'to', 'the', 'React', 'Typing', 'Animator'];
return (
<TypingAnimator
textArray={textArray}
cursorColor="#333"
textColor="#555"
fontSize="24px"
loop={false}
typingSpeed={60}
delaySpeed={1000}
backspace
height="60px"
dynamicDelay
displayCursor={false}
style={{fontFamily: "Helvetica" , fontWeight: "bold", marginTop: "10px"}}
/>
);
}
export default App;
