A lightweight (1.86kb) and easy to use library that lets you write and delete text automatically. Helping you create animated typing effects.

See AutoTyping.js in action with live examples.

1. Grab the minified version of the library from dist/autotyping.js
2. Create a new instance of the library:

   const typing = new AutoTyping('#selector', [
       'array of',
       'text',
       'lorem ipusm'
   ], options);

3. Start the typing effect

   typing.start();

1. [REQUIRED] selector (either the id or the class of the element).

   The selector is where the autotyping will be initiated.

2. [REQUIRED] text (Array of Strings).

   The text that the library will type.

   e.g.:

      [
          'first text',
          'second text',
          'etc...'
      ]

3. [OPTIONAL] options (object).

   Controls the library's behavior

   • typeSpeed (Integer) in ms, default: 150 Controls the typing speed of each character.

   • deleteSpeed (Integer) in ms, default: 150 Controls how fast/slow each character is deleted.

   • waitBeforeDelete (Integer) in ms, default: 1000 Controls how much time the library will wait before deleting a word.

   • waitBetweenWords (Integer) in ms, default: 1000 Controls how much time the library will wait before writing the next word.

   • writeWhole (Boolean), default: false Controls if the text should be written all together (word per word and not character by character).

<p>This is an example: <span class="example-selector"></span></p>

<script src="dist/autotyping.min.js"></script>

<script>
    const exampleText = ['I can write a whole sentence.', 'Or', 'single', 'words'];
    const exampleTyping = new AutoTyping('.example-selector', exampleText, {
        typeSpeed: 50,
        deleteSpeed: 50,
        waitBeforeDelete: 2000,
        waitBetweenWords: 500,
    });
    exampleTyping.start()
</script>
