# Chrome Badge Animator

JavaScript class to be used in Chrome extensions that want to animate the text on the extension badge.

## What is it?

This class will animate the text of your extension's badge. Think LED displays on train stations:

![LED displays](http://hancic.info/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/indoor-led-scrolling-signs.jpg "LED displays")

This is how it will actually look in Chrome:

![Chrome Badge Animator](https://raw.github.com/janhancic/chrome-badge-animator/master/misc/badge_animation.gif "Chrome Badge Animator")

## How to use it?

You can look at the example extension in `sampleext`. You have to include the `src/BadgeAnimator.js` file in your extension (either in the manifest file or directly in the code somewhere). Once you've done that you can use it like this:

```javascript

// all parameters, apart from `text`, are optional

var animator = new BadgeTextAnimator( {

	text: 'this is some sample text', // text to be scrolled (or animated)

	interval: 200, // the "speed" of the scrolling

	repeat: false, // repeat the animation or not

	size: 6 // size of the badge

} );

animator.animate();

// call `animator.stop();` to stop the animation

```
