A typing animation for your React Native chat app
based on simple trigonometry to create better loaders.
- Smooth movement
- Customizable
- No dependencies
- Fast, lightweight and no images
- Uses
requestAnimationFrame
- Using npm:
npm install react-native-typing-animation --save
- Using Yarn:
yarn add react-native-typing-animation
import React from "react";
import { TypingAnimation } from 'react-native-typing-animation';
class Example extends React.Component {
render() {
return (
<TypingAnimation />
);
}
}
import React from "react";
import { TypingAnimation } from 'react-native-typing-animation';
class Example extends React.Component {
render() {
return (
<TypingAnimation
dotColor="black"
dotMargin={3}
dotAmplitude={3}
dotRadius={2.5}
dotX={12}
dotY={6}
/>
);
}
}
