Enter in any string, and watch it type at the speed you've set, backspace what it's typed, and begin a new sentence for however many strings you've set.

CSS

CSS animations are build upon initialzation in JavaScript. But, you can customize them at your will! These classes are:

/* Cursor */
.ityped-cursor {}

Want the animated blinking cursor?

.ityped-cursor {
    font-size: 2.2rem;
    opacity: 1;
    -webkit-animation: blink 0.3s infinite;
    -moz-animation: blink 0.3s infinite;
    animation: blink 0.3s infinite;
    animation-direction: alternate;
}

@keyframes blink {
    100% {
        opacity: 0;
    }
}

@-webkit-keyframes blink {
    100% {
        opacity: 0;
    }
}

@-moz-keyframes blink {
    100% {
        opacity: 0;
    }
}

Use with multiples instances at the same time

<span id="one"></span>
<span id="other"></span>

  import { init } from 'ityped'
  
  const oneElement = document.querySelector('#one')
  const otherElement = document.querySelector('#other')
  
  init(oneElement, { showCursor: false, strings: ['Nice', 'One' ] });
  init(otherElement, { disableBackTyping: true, strings: ['iTyped is', 'Awesome'] });

Use with React.js

  import React, { Component } from 'react'
  import { init } from 'ityped'
  
  export default class Hello extends Component {
    componentDidMount(){
      const myElement = document.querySelector('#myElement')
      init(myElement, { showCursor: false, strings: ['Use with React.js!', 'Yeah!' ] })
    }
    render(){
      return <div id="myElement"></div>
    }
  }

Customization

  init("#element", {
  
    /**
     * @param {Array} strings An array with the strings that will be animated 
     */
     strings: ['Put your strings here...', 'and Enjoy!']
    
    /**
     * @param {Number} typeSpeed Type speed in milliseconds
     */
     typeSpeed:  100,
   
    /**
     * @param {Number} backSpeed Type back speed in milliseconds
     */
     backSpeed:  50,
    
    /**
     * @param {Number} startDelay Time before typing starts
     */
     startDelay: 500,
    
    /**
     * @param {Number} backDelay Time before backspacing
     */
     backDelay:  500,
    
    /**
     * @param {Bollean} loop The animation loop
     */
     loop:       false,
    
    /**
     * @param {Bollean} showCursor Show the cursor element
     */
     showCursor: true,
    
    /**
     * @param {Bollean} placeholder Write the string in the placeholder content
     */
     placeholder: false,
    
    /**
     * @param {Bollean} disableBackTyping Disable back typing for the last string sentence 
     */
     disableBackTyping: false,
    
    /**
     * @property {String} cursorChar character for cursor
     */
     cursorChar: "|",
    
    
    // optional: The callback called (if `loop` is false) 
    // once the last string was typed
    /**
     * @property {Function} onFinished The callback called , if `loop` is false,
     * once the last string was typed
     */
    onFinished: function(){},
  }
