react-text-loop
An animated loop of text nodes for your headings. Uses react-motion for the transition so it handles super fast animations and spring params.
Installation
npm install react-text-loop or yarn add react-text-loop
How to use
You can also run the examples by cloning the repo and running yarn start.
Usage
import TextLoop from "react-text-loop";
import Link from "react-router";
import { BodyText } from "./ui";
class App extends Component {
render() {
return (
<h2>
<TextLoop>
<span>First item</span>
<Link to="/">Second item</Link>
<BodyText>Third item</BodyText>
</TextLoop>{" "}
and something else.
</h2>
);
}
}Props
| Prop | Type | Default | Definition |
|---|---|---|---|
| interval | number | array | 3000 |
The frequency (in ms) that the words change. Can also pass an array if you want a different interval per children |
| delay | number | 0 |
A delay (in ms) for the animation to start. This allows to use multiple instances to create a staggered animation effect for example. |
| adjustingSpeed | number | 150 |
The speed that the container around each word adjusts to the next one (in ms). Usually you don't need to change this. |
| fade | boolean | true |
Enable or disable the fade animation on enter and leave |
| mask | boolean | false |
Mask the animation around the bounding box of the animated content |
| noWrap | boolean | true |
Disable whitepace: nowrap style for each element. This is used by default so we can always get the right width of the element but can have issues sometimes. |
| springConfig | object | { stiffness: 340, damping: 30 } |
Configuration for react-motion spring |
| className | string | Any additional CSS classes you might want to use to style the image | |
| children | node | The words you want to loop (required) |
Caveats
Because <TextLoop> loops through its children nodes, only root-level nodes will be considered so
doing something like:
<TextLoop>
<div>
<span>First item</span>
<span>Second item</span>
</div>
<div>Third item</div>
</TextLoop>;will make first and second item to be treated as one and animate together.
You can also just send a normal array as children prop if you don't need any individual styling for each node.
<TextLoop children={["Trade faster", "Increase sales", "Stock winners", "Price perfectly"]} />;Examples
Fast transition
<TextLoop interval={100}>...</TextLoop>;Wobbly animation
<TextLoop springConfig={{ stiffness: 180, damping: 8 }}>...</TextLoop>;For many other examples, please have a look at the CodeSandbox playground.
