# react-rotating-text

![effect showcase](http://i.imgur.com/AC5g7KD.gif)

A simple component to create a typewriter effect where strings are typed out and then deleted. Simply pass in an array of strings and the component will rotate through all of them.

## Demo & Examples

Live demo: [adrianmcli.github.io/react-rotating-text](http://adrianmcli.github.io/react-rotating-text/)

To build the examples locally, run:

```
npm install
npm start
```

Then open [`localhost:8000`](http://localhost:8000) in a browser.

## Installation

The easiest way to use react-rotating-text is to install it from NPM and include it in your own React build process (using [Browserify](http://browserify.org), [Webpack](http://webpack.github.io/), [Brunch](http://brunch.io/), etc).

You can also use the standalone build by including `dist/react-rotating-text.js` in your page. If you use this, make sure you have already included React, and it is available as a global variable.

```
npm install react-rotating-text --save
```

## Usage

Simply require the component and then pass in an array of strings into the `items` prop:

```jsx
var ReactRotatingText = require('react-rotating-text');

```

In order to have a blinking cursor, you'll need to apply some CSS to the `react-rotating-text-cursor` class:

```css
.react-rotating-text-cursor {
animation: blinking-cursor 0.8s cubic-bezier(0.68, 0.01, 0.01, 0.99) 0s infinite;
}

@keyframes blinking-cursor {
0% {
opacity: 0;
}
50% {
opacity: 1;
}
100% {
opacity: 0;
}
}
```

Don't forget to put in vendor prefixes should you need them. A full example is available in `example/dist/ReactRotatingText.css`.

### Properties

**items (*array*)**
*(default: ['first', 'second', 'third'])*
The array of strings to be cycled through.

**color (*string*)**
*(default: 'inherit')*
This specifies the color of the text.

**cursor (*boolean*)**
*(default: true)*
If set to true, it will display the cursor after the text.

**pause (*integer*)**
*(default: 1500)*
The number of milliseconds to pause after the text has just finished being typed out.

**emptyPause (*integer*)**
*(default: 1000)*
The number of milliseconds to pause while no text is being displayed (i.e. after deleting has just finished).

**eraseMode (*string*)**
*(default: 'erase')*
This specifies the erasing mode. May be set to "erase" or "overwrite".

**typingInterval (*integer*)**
*(default: 50)*
The number of milliseconds between each typing action.

**deletingInterval (*integer*)**
*(default: 50)*
The number of milliseconds between each deleting action.

### Events

#### onTypingStart
A callback function to call when typing starts for current item.

#### onTypingEnd
A callback function to call when typing ends for current item.

#### onDeletingStart
A callback function to call when deleting starts for current item.

#### onDeletingEnd
A callback function to call when deleting finishes for current item.

Example:
```
console.log(`Typing Started`)} />
```

### Notes

Enhancements and pull requests are welcomed.

## Development (`src`, `lib` and the build process)

**NOTE:** The source code for the component is in `src`. A transpiled CommonJS version (generated with Babel) is available in `lib` for use with node.js, browserify and webpack. A UMD bundle is also built to `dist`, which can be included without the need for any build system.

To build, watch and serve the examples (which will also watch the component source), run `npm start`. If you just want to watch changes to `src` and rebuild `lib`, run `npm run watch` (this is useful if you are working with `npm link`).
