Typewriter

Text 1.9K

About

A component that types out a text, one letter at a time. As a text, either a string or an array of strings can be passed to the component. The component will automatically split the text into an array of characters, and animate each letter one by one. If you pass an array of strings, the component will animate one text, delete it, then continue animating the next one. The component will loop through the texts if you set the loop prop to true. The cursor at the end of the text is optional. You can use a character or even a svg node if you like. There is a prop to customize the cursor animation, where you have to define the two motion variants as initial and animate. Ideally, the component should respect multiple lines. If you experience otherwise, please let me know.:)

Built with React and Tailwind. Copy the prompt and paste it into Claude Code, Cursor or Lovable: your agent adds Typewriter to your project and fits it to your theme.

Code

How Typewriter is used: the demo's code. The component's own source comes with a free account.
