Usage examples

Here are some examples demonstrating the usage of the component:

Basic usage

To create a basic highlighted text component, use the following code:

view.add(<HighlightedTxt text={"Bloop"} fontSize={50} fill={"#f5555f"} fontFamily='JetBrains Mono'/>);

Square Highlight

If you prefer the highlight to have square corners, you can set the roundedCorners prop to false:

view.add(<HighlightedTxt text={"Doodle"} fontSize={50} fill={"#f5555f"} fontFamily='JetBrains Mono' roundedCorners={false}/>);

Rounded Outline

Instead of a full highlight, you can opt for an outline:

view.add(<HighlightedTxt text={"Wobble"} fontSize={50} fill={"#f5555f"} fontFamily='JetBrains Mono' outlined={true}/>);

Square Outline

For a combination of square corners and an outline, use the following code:

view.add(<HighlightedTxt text={"Noodle"} fontSize={50} fill={"#f5555f"} fontFamily='JetBrains Mono' roundedCorners={false} outlined={true}/>);

Two colors

By default, the second fill color has less opacity and is the same as the first fill color But you can specify two different fill colors using the fill1 and fill2 props:

view.add(<HighlightedTxt text={"Gobble"} fontSize={50} fill={"#bbbf"} fontFamily='JetBrains Mono' fill2={"#88fbf5"}/>);

Using Gradient

You can employ gradient filling by utilizing the following code snippets:

To begin, ensure that you import the following before executing the code:

import { Gradient } from '@motion-canvas/2d/lib/partials';

This will enable you to utilize gradient filling functionality in your project.

const gradient = new Gradient({
  type: 'radial',
  from: -50,
  to: -100,
  toRadius: 210,
  stops: [
    {offset: 0, color: '#f3303f'},
    {offset: 0.6, color: '#FFC66D'},
    {offset: 1, color: '#4aaaf1'},
  ],
});

view.add(<HighlightedTxt text={"Puddle"} fontSize={50} fill={gradient} fontFamily='JetBrains Mono'/>);
