Vue.use(VueTypedJs)

Usage

To get started simply add the vue-typed-js custom element to your template and pass the text, which should be typed to the strings property. In addition you need to pass an element with the class typing to the slot, which will be used as a wrapper.

Minimal setup:

<vue-typed-js :strings="['First text', 'Second Text']">
  <h1 class="typing"></h1>
</vue-typed-js>

The typing class also allows you to just animate certain parts of a string:

<vue-typed-js :strings="['John', 'James']">
  <h1>Hey <span class="typing"></span></h1>
</vue-typed-js>
