Your question is React Typewriter with Fetched Text. Start with the requirements on the right.

Problem

Implement a React component that fetches a JSON payload from a secure HTTP endpoint and renders a text field one character at a time. The component must support configurable typing delay in milliseconds and expose animation controls for start, pause, resume, and reset. Return a component or hook-based implementation that handles loading, fetch failure, timer cleanup, and repeated control actions correctly.

Constraints

  • 0 <= len(text) <= 10^4
  • 1 <= delay <= 10^4
  • actions contains only "start", "pause", "resume", "reset", or ["tick", n]
  • 0 <= n <= 10^4
  • The implementation should behave correctly for repeated control actions
