wc-typed-js - The Typed.js Web Component

<wc-typed-js strings="Text number 1, Text number 2">
  <h1>Fixed Text: <span class="typing"></span></h1>  
</wc-typed-js>

The Typed.js Web Component for better reusability.

Typed.js is a library that types. Enter in any string, and watch it type at the speed you've set, backspace what it's typed, and begin a new sentence for however many strings you've set.

Installation

npm install --save wc-typed-js

Default import

Import the component:

import { TypedJS } from 'wc-typed-js'

Browser import

<script type="module" src="dist/main.js" crossorigin></script>

Usage

To get started simply add the wc-typed-js custom element to your markup 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:

<wc-typed-js strings="First text, Second Text">
  <h1 class="typing"></h1>
</wc-typed-js>

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

<wc-typed-js strings="John', 'James">
  <h1>Hey <span class="typing"></span></h1>
</wc-typed-js>
