Flash on value change. Perfect for financial applications.

 

react-value-flash will display a flashed value on screen based on some value change. This pattern is extremely common in financial applications, and at Lab49, we're focused on the finance industry.

Incorporate this component into your application and pass along a number. As that number changes, this component will briefly flash a color, letting the user know the number has changed. By default, this component will flash green when the value changes up, or red when the value changes down.

Not only are these colors configurable, but the properties of the flash itself and the formatting of the value are configurable as well.

Furthermore, this component doesn't come with any styles, but does provide plenty of hooks to add your own styles. Even though flash color and transition properties are configurable as props, you can still use the generated classnames (which are also configurable) to add your own unique styles.

This component is perfect for:

• Trading platforms
• Analytics dashboards
• Monitoring dashboards

Features

• Written in TypeScript
• Small, simple, configurable, performant
• Maintained by a team of finance industry professionals

As discussed above, there are a number of classnames you can use to add your own styles. There is an example of doing exactly that in the include Storybook, but as an example, here's a description of the available classnames:

Class	Description
.rvf_Flash	Root DOM node
.rvf_Flash__value	Rendered value, direct (and only) child of the root node.
.rvf_Flash--flashing	Applied only when the component is in the flashing state.
.rvf_Flash--flashing-up	Applied when flashing 'up'.
.rvf_Flash--flashing-down	Applied when flashing 'down'.
.rvf_Flash--positive	Applied when the value is positive.
.rvf_Flash--negative	Applied when the value is negative.
