React-typing-animation
A fully-featured typing animation in React that supports any valid JSX.
Motivation
There were other JS typing animations that existed when I created this, but they were all lacking in robust features. This component aims to support all of the following features:
✅ Type text from any valid JSX
✅ Reset lines / full tree
