# Line By Line Slide

> Line-by-line slide text animation

A Text Effect component for React, Tailwind and shadcn by @educlopez, version 1.0.0, MIT licence.

Renders text line by line with a slide-in animation from the left. Each line appears with a staggered delay. Use for headings or short text blocks that need a flowing reveal effect.

## Install

```bash
npx layro-cli add @educlopez/line-by-line-slide
```

Or with shadcn: `npx shadcn@latest add https://layro.dev/r/educlopez/line-by-line-slide.json`

npm packages: motion
