Torph

One animated text-morphing component for React, Vue and Svelte, MIT and with no runtime dependency

Tier A · StrongAnimation LibraryComponent Librarytorph.lochie.me

Torph is a single component that morphs one string into another. Its own line: "Text continuity for interfaces on the web." The demo morphs "Processing Transaction" into "Running late, be there soon." It ships for three frameworks from one package. The usage tabs show React, TypeScript, Vue and Svelte, and the peer dependencies name React 18, Vue 3 and Svelte 5. The package carries no runtime dependency at all. It installs with `npm i torph` and the site gives the same line for pnpm, yarn and bun. Lochie makes it. The repository lochie/torph sits at 1,157 stars under the MIT licence, and the last push was 7 September 2026. npm reports 252,168 downloads in the last month across 14 released versions. The version is 0.1.3, so the API may still move. The site carries a playground, examples and a showcase.

Install

npm i torph

For an agent

Reach for this when a label changes in place and a hard swap reads as a glitch. A status line, a countdown, a streaming answer that settles. Import from the framework entry, not the root. The site shows `import { TextMorph } from 'torph/react'`, and Vue and Svelte have their own entries. It costs nothing in dependencies. The package declares no runtime dependency, and React, Vue and Svelte are peers. Pin the version. It sits at 0.1.3, so treat the props as unstable and read the repository before an upgrade. The site publishes no llms.txt and no sitemap. Read the README in lochie/torph for the props.

Why it is here. A text morph is usually a bespoke animation or a whole motion runtime. This is one MIT component with no runtime dependency that works the same in React, Vue and Svelte.
