How to stop in the middle, display all content?

The latest version doesn't work with React 18, but I found that version 1.1.0 works fine.

I need a way to detect when Typer has finished typing.

In my app, I would like to disable the "Request" button until Typist finishes typing to prevent spam clicking. How can I do that?

Couple of ways I thought I might be implemented (but since its not supported in the package yet) are as follows

              <Typer
                sentences={[output]}
                startDelay={0}
                typingSpeed={7}
                pauseTime={250}
                cursorColor="black"
                showCursor={true}
                hideCursorOnFinish={true}
                loop={false}
                onEvent={(event) => {
                  if (event === "startTyping") {
                    setTyping(true);
                  } else if (event === "finishTyping") {
                    setTyping(false);
                  }
                }}
              />

or

import Typer, { TyperEvent } from "react-text-typist";

              <Typer
                sentences={[output]}
                startDelay={0}
                typingSpeed={7}
                pauseTime={250}
                cursorColor="black"
                showCursor={true}
                hideCursorOnFinish={true}
                loop={false}
                onTyped={() => setTyping(true)}
                onFinishedTyping={() => setTyping(false)}
              />

Please let me know if there is a way to do this already.

Thank you

Thanks for putting this together.

You probably need to clear out all setTimeout handlers on component unmount, otherwise, you most likely will get the memory leak warning.

Warning: Can't perform a React state update on an unmounted component. This is a no-op, but it indicates a memory leak in your application. To fix, cancel all subscriptions and asynchronous tasks in a useEffect cleanup function.

Please let me know if I need to submit a PR.

Firstly, love the library. Small and simple, it's exactly what I was looking for.

Just wanted to point out a small issue with the readme that caught me off guard, it refers to "writeSpeed" which it looks like you have since renamed to typingSpeed.

Thanks for the hard work!

I was just testing out this package and the 1.1.4 seems to have a bug with the typing speed? I re-installed version 1.1.0 and it worked fine.
