Syntax Text
Monospace code that fades in token-by-token with subtle syntax colors for keywords, strings, numbers, comments, and punctuation in React applications.
Syntax Text preview
A code-aesthetic text effect that renders a monospace snippet and fades it in token-by-token from left to right. A small built-in tokenizer recognizes keywords, strings, numbers, comments, and punctuation across JS, TS, JSON, and CSS-flavored input, then assigns each token a tasteful color that works in both light and dark themes. There is no full syntax-highlighter dependency — the regex-driven tokens are deliberately lightweight, so the component stays tiny while still producing a documentation-quality look. Animation triggers when the snippet scrolls into view and runs exactly once, with a configurable per-token stagger so longer snippets read naturally instead of all at once. Drop it into hero sections, docs pages, or developer-tool marketing to make a code sample feel alive without ever leaving Tailwind, Motion for React, and TypeScript.
