If you want creating a dynamic typing animation that looks like the text is being typed by a typewriter then typer.js is the right solution for you:
It is written in native JavaScript (ES6) and works with almost no 3rd-party dependencies.
How to Use It
Follow the steps:
Step 1: Include Typer.js library file by placing at the bottom of your HTML file.
<script async src="https://unpkg.com/typer-dot-js@0.1.0/typer.js"></script>
Step 2: Create an empty span element with the CSS class of typer , an id of main-typer and define an array of words in the data-words attribute:
<span class="typer" id="main-typer" data-words="Software Engineer, Front-end Developer,Designer" data-delay="100"></span>
You can also customize the typing delay, default is 200.
Step 3: Add the following after your typer span to create a cursor. Make sure to add id="main-typer" to the typer as well, or else cursor won’t know who to listen to.
<span class="cursor" data-owner="main-typer"></span>
That’s it. Here’s an example typer.js to get you started:
