react-cowsay accepts almost all arguments from cowsay as props.
The only exception is f which does not accept a filepath, though any of the included cows can be used.
The options for cowsay are replicated here for convenience:
-b Mode: Borg
-d Mode: Dead
-g Mode: Greedy
-p Mode: Paranoia
-s Mode: Stoned
-t Mode: Tired
-w Mode: Wired
-y Mode: Youthful
-e Select the appearance of the cow's eyes. [default: "oo"]
-T The tongue is configurable similarly to the eyes through -T and tongue_string. [default: " "]
-n If it is specified, the given message will not be word-wrapped.
-W Specifies roughly where the message should be wrapped. The default is equivalent to -W 40 i.e. wrap words at or before the 40th column. [default: 40]
-f Specifies a cow picture file (''cowfile'') to use. Use of the named cows included in the package. [default: "default"]
Additionally text can be specified either as a prop or as children.
