Better SVG text component for React

Features

- Word-wrapping (when width prop is defined)
- Vertical alignment (verticalAnchor prop)
- Rotation (angle prop)
- Scale-to-fit text (scaleToFit prop)

Example

Simple demo to show off a useful feature. Since svg itself does not support verticalAnchor, normally text rendered at 0,0 would be outside the viewport and not visible. By using with verticalAnchor="start" prop, the text will now be visible as you'd expect.
``jsx
import React from 'react';
import { render } from 'react-dom';
import Text from 'react-svg-text';

const App = () => (

Hello world

);

render(, document.getElementById('root'));
`

$3


Property | Type | Default | Description
-------- | ---- | ------- | -----------
x | number | | x coordinate to use as a basis for positioning the text element
y | number | | y coordinate to use as a basis for positioning the text element
dx | number | | Horizontal shift from the x coordinate
dy | number | | Vertical shift from the y coordinate
width | number | | Width of text container. Used to implement word wrapping and for context when scaleToFit is true
scaleToFit | bool | false | Resize text to fit container width
angle | number | | Rotate text around origin (defined by textAnchor and verticalAnchor)
textAnchor | string | start | How the text is horizontally positioned relative to the given x and y coordinates. Options are start, middle, end, and inherit.
verticalAnchor | string | end | How text is vertically positioned relative to the given x and y coordinates. Options are start, middle, end
lineHeight | string | 1em | How much space a single line of text should take up
capHeight | string | 0.71em (Magic number from d3) | Defines a text metric for the font being used: the expected height of capital letters. This is necessary because of SVG, which (a) positions the bottom of the text at y, and (b) has no notion of line height. This prop should be given as a number of ems
additional props | | | Additional props are passed down to underlying component, including style and className

TODO

- Fix tests (jsdom does not support getComputedTextLength() or getBoundingClientRect()`) and setup CI
- Consider using jest-electron-runner, although it currently hangs. Seems to be a known issue
