# Number flow

> Animated numbers with spinning digits.

A Number component for React, Tailwind and shadcn by @preetsuthar17, version 1.0.0, MIT licence.

Renders animated numbers with spinning digits. Only changed digits animate, using Intl formatting and locale. Shows smooth transitions for value changes. Use for dynamic numerical displays.

## Install

```bash
npx layro-cli add @preetsuthar17/number-flow
```

Or with shadcn: `npx shadcn@latest add https://layro.dev/r/preetsuthar17/number-flow.json`

npm packages: cn
