# js-type-text

A framework agnostic typing animation package built with vanilla JavaScript. Works with Vue.js, React, and everything else.

![screen recording of js-type-text typing its own url, npmjs.com/js-type-text](js-type-text.gif)

_This animation works with any font! However you will find that it looks its best when paired with [Monospaced fonts](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monospaced_font) as their letters have a fixed width._

## Installation
```bash
npm install js-type-text
```

### Usage
```js
// import the package
import jsTypeText from 'js-type-text';

// start typing
jsTypeText.start(config, callback);

// stop typing and/or cursor.
jsTypeText.stop();

```

### Configuration
```js
jsTypeText.start({
text: "Your Text Here",
speed: 110,
cursor: true,
cursorSpeed: 350,
cursorStyle: "vertical"
}, callback);
```

Value | Type | Required | Description | Default
----- | ----- | ----- | ----- | -----
text | String | **Required** | The string to be typed. | N/A
speed | Number | **Optional** | Time in ms per character typed. | **`110`**
cursor | Boolean | **Optional** | Show or hide cursor | **`TRUE`**
cursorSpeed | Number | **Optional** | Time in ms per cursor blink. Set to **`0`** to disable blink. | **`350`**
cursorStyle | String | **Optional** | **`"vertical"`** or **`"horizontal"`** or any html character you'd like. For example **`"▗"`**. | **`"horizontal"`** (ie. the underscore symbol **`_`** )

_**Note:** Avoid jitter with custom HTML cursors by setting a CSS `line-height` value._

### Examples

#### Vanilla JS
```js
jsTypeText.start({
text: "Welcome to my site"
}, function (result) {
document.getElementById('myElement').innerHTML = result;
});

// optionally stop the typing and/or cursorpoint.
jsTypeText.stop();

```

#### Vue.js

```js
data() {
return: {
myTitle: ''
}
},
created: function () {
jsTypeText.start({
text: "Welcome to my site"
}, (result) => {
this.myTitle = result;
})
},
beforeDestroy: function () {
jsTypeText.stop();
}
```

#### React.js

```js
class myPage extends React.Component{
state = {
myTitle:""
}
componentDidMount () {
jsTypeText.start({
text: "Welcome to my site"
}, (result) => {
this.setState({myTitle: result})
}
}
componentWillUnmount () {
jsTypeText.stop()
}
render(){
return(

{this.state.myTitle}

)
}
}
```
