Description :

TypeLighter.js is a free plugin to add typewriters in your web page. With this plugin, eight properties allow you to fine-tune the experience you want to share with your users. Most of them are predefined, but you can change their values using the data attribute.

Files :

There are three files in the compressed folder :

• README.md
• typelighter.js
• typelighter.min.js -> minified file

Installation :

Place the .js file in your folder and import it after the body tag

<script src ="your file path/typelighter.min.js"></script>

You can also use the CDN version :

<script src ="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/typelighterjs/typelighter.min.js"></script>

Add a new typewriter with a span tag.

<p><span class="typeWriter" data-text='["foo"]'></span></p>

Properties list :

| Property | Default value | Use | | --- | --- | --- | | data-text | Null | The array holding the strings to be written one after the other. | | data-speed | 1 | The writing speed is proportionnal to this integer. | | data-start | 500 (ms) | A delay before writing the next string. | | data-end | 2000 (ms) | A delay before deleting the current string. | | data-random | True | When enabled, the TypeWriter waits for a random time before writing or deleting the next character. | | data-max | Infinity | The maximum number of full iterations before the TypeWriter stops itself. | | data-dltSpeed | True | When enabled, a given string is deleted twice as fast as it is written. | | data-checkVisible | False | When enabled, the animation begins right when the element appears in the viewport. |

Example :

<p><span class="typeWriter" data-checkVisible="true"  data-speed="2" data-text='["foo", "example"]'></span></p>

<p>Hello <span class="typeWriter" data-end="3000" data-text='["guys !", "world !"]'></span></p>

CSS :

The CSS is automatically injected in the DOM for convenience, though you could also paste it in your CSS file :

.cursor {
  color:inherit;
  position:relative;
  font:inherit;
  color:inherit;
  line-height: inherit;
  animation: Cursor 1s infinite;
}

@keyframes Cursor{
  0%{opacity: 1;}
  50%{opacity: 0;}
  100%{opacity: 1;}
}
