Visit this page to see a live demo.
To use typify.js directly in the browser, include the following script tag in the <head> or <body> section of your HTML file:
// jsdelivr (recommended)
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/typify.js@latest/dist/typify.min.js"></script>
// unpkg
<script src="https://unpkg.com/typify.js@latest/dist/typify.min.js"></script>
To use typify.js as an ES module, install it via npm:
npm install typify.js
To create a typewriter effect for an HTML element, call the Typify function with the required CSS selector and configuration options.
Place the below code in your html file
<h1 id="typify-text"></h1>
Place the below code in your javascript file
const typingText = Typify('#typify-text', {
text: ['Hello!', 'Welcome to Typify Library!', 'Enjoy the typing effect!'],
delay: 100,
loop: true,
cursor: true,
stringDelay: 1000 });
The Typify function accepts the following options as the second argument:
- text (required): An array of strings to be typed and erased in sequence.
- delay (optional): The delay in milliseconds between typing each character (default: 100ms).
- loop (optional): Whether to loop through the 'text' array continuously or stop after one iteration (default: true).
- cursor (optional): Whether to display the cursor (default: true).
- stringDelay (optional): Time in milliseconds to pause before typing each string (default: 1000ms).
Returns: An object with a stop() method to cancel the typing effect and reset the element to the first string in the text array.
