Real-Typer

A JavaScript library that gives the effect of typing for texts. Live Example

• For Angular check @Real-Typer/Angular

Using CDN

Import the CDN using script tags

<script src="https://cdn.statically.io/gh/cyrus2281/Real-Typer/main/src/JavaScript/dist/real-typer.min.js"></script>

Using NPM

install package with

npm install real-typer

import the file in your JS file.

import 'real-typer'

Quick Start:

create a html container.

    <div class="typer"></div>

make sure you have imported the script using CDN or npm and import.

create an object of RealTyper and pass the html element, the strings, and the options

Then call the type method to start typing.

    <script>
        const typer = new RealTyper.Typer(
            document.querySelector(".typer"),
            [
                "First Sample Text",
                "Second Sample Text",
                "Third Sample Text"
            ]);
        const typeInstance = typer.type();
    </script>

if you app is not finding RealTyper call it with window prefix.

    const typer = new window.RealTyper.Typer(document.querySelector(".typer"), "test");

Emitters

You can use emit to add an string to the list of strings being typed.

    const index = true;
    typeInstance.emit("New String", index);

• index is optional and if not passed the string will be added to the end of the list.
• index can be a number or true. if it is a number the string will be added to the list at that index. if it is true the string will be added to the last string.

Customization

the following properties can be changed.

    <script>
        const typer = new RealTyper.Typer(
            document.querySelector(".typer"),
            [
                "First Sample Text",
                "Second Sample Text",
                "Third Sample Text"
            ],
            {
                cursorCharacter : "|",
                cursorBlink: true,
                typeSpeed : 100,
                deleteSpeed : 50,
                holdDelay : 1500,
                pauseDelay : 1000,
                startDelay : 0,
                delete : true,
                deleteLastString : true,
                loop : true,
                loopHold : 1500,
                loopStartIndex : ,
                callback : null,
                callbackArgs : null,
                developerMode : true,
            }
        );
        const typeInstance = typer.type();
    </script>

Interface:

Properties::

strings (default: undefined)   : Strings to be type, this value can be pass as an argument or be children of the selected component

htmlElement (default: undefined) : the html component that the strings are written into
   
cursorCharacter (default: "|")   : value for the cursor symbol. put "" for no cursor

cursorBlink (default: true)      : whether to blink the cursor or not

typeSpeed (default: 100)         : the speed at which the characters are written

deleteSpeed (default: 50)        : the speed at which the characters are deleted

holdDelay (default: 1500)        : the amount of delay before starting to delete

pauseDelay (default: 1000)       : the amount of delay before starting the next string

startDelay (default: 0)          : the amount of delay before starting to type since the call of method

delete (default: true)           : whether to delete the string or not

deleteLastString (default: true) : whether to delete the last string or not (only happens if 'delete' is true)

loop (default: true)             : whether to loop or not

loopHold (default: 1500)         : the amount of pause before repeating the cycle

loopStartIndex (default: 0)      : Index of the string that the loop will start from the second cycle and on

callback (default: null)         : callback function that will run after each cycle

callbackArgs (default: null)     : argument that will be passed to the callback function

developerMode (default: false)   : logs errors in the console for debugging [recommend for development]

type instance:
