## Description

react-native-linear-gradient is a cross-platform mobile UI component used to render linear color transitions and backgrounds. It provides a customizable view that creates smooth transitions between multiple colors along a straight line.

The project includes a text gradient mask, which allows text characters to be filled with color gradients using masking techniques rather than single solid colors. It also provides an animated gradient component capable of changing color properties over time to create moving visual effects.

The component handles linear gradient rendering via configurable start, end, or angle settings and supports animated gradient transitions to develop moving visual elements within a mobile interface.
