Package Exports

@vx/text

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (@vx/text) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

@vx/text

The @vx/text provides a better SVG <Text> component with the following features

Word-wrapping (when width prop is defined)
Vertical alignment (verticalAnchor prop)
Rotation (angle prop)
Scale-to-fit text (scaleToFit prop)

Example

Simple demo to show off a useful feature. Since svg <text> itself does not support verticalAnchor, normally text rendered at 0,0 would be outside the viewport and thus not visible. By using <Text> with the verticalAnchor="start" prop, the text will now be visible as you'd expect.

import React from 'react';
import { render } from 'react-dom';
import { Text } from '@vx/text';

const App = () => (
  <svg>
    <Text verticalAnchor="start">Hello world</Text>
  </svg>
);

render(<App />, document.getElementById('root'));

Installation

npm install --save @vx/text
