RevolvingText

RevolvingText is a React Native component that animates text to scroll horizontally from right to left in a never-ending loop. It is designed to handle text that overflows its container and provides a smooth scrolling experience to the user.

Installation

RevolvingText can be installed via NPM or Yarn:

npm install react-native-revolving-text @react-native-masked-view/masked-view react-native-reanimated react-native-linear-gradient react-native-text-dimensions --save

yarn add react-native-revolving-text @react-native-masked-view/masked-view react-native-reanimated react-native-linear-gradient react-native-text-dimensions

then run npx pod-install

Usage

import React from "react";
import { StyleSheet, View } from "react-native";
import { RevolvingText } from "react-native-revolving-text";

const App = () => {
  return (
    <View style={styles.container}>
      <View style={styles.parentView}>
        <RevolvingText
          fontStyle={styles.text}
          speed={50}
          delayMs={4000}
          marginLeft={10}
          textColor={"white"}
          mode={"revolve"}
        >
          {
            "This text will continuously scroll to the left in a loop if the text is larger than its parent view"
          }
        </RevolvingText>
      </View>
    </View>
  );
};

export default App;

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  container: {
    flex: 1,
    backgroundColor: "#fff",
    alignItems: "center",
    justifyContent: "center",
  },
  parentView: {
    backgroundColor: "black",
    width: 300,
    padding: 5,
    borderRadius: 4,
  },
  text: {
    fontFamily: "Helvetica",
    fontSize: 18,
    fontWeight: "600",
  },
});
});

Props

• delayMs (optional) - The number of milliseconds to delay before the animation starts. Defaults to 4000.
