Type once with typeTo()


   $('h3').typeTo("Testing Typer.js jQuery Plugin with a 1 time trext string.");

Type indefinitely with typer()

Now let's say you want to loop over a set of strings for the typing effect. Easy!

jQuery Code...


   $('[data-typer-targets]').typer();

HTML: Comma seperated version (strings seperated with commas)...


   <h2 data-typer-targets="Testing Typer.js jQuery Plugin, Pretty sweet little plugin!"></h2>

HTML: JSON version...


   <h2 data-typer-targets='
    { "targets" : ["Testing Typer.js jQuery Plugin.","Pretty sweet little plugin!", "Stumptown has the best coffee in Flatiron."]}'></h2>

That code will start the effect on all elements with the data-typer-targets attribute.

You obviously need to supply it with some source data. The data-typer-targets attribute can be either a comma-separated string or a piece of JSON.

Options

There are some options that are available to you as well:


   // Defaults
{
  highlightSpeed    : 20,
  typeSpeed         : 100,
  clearDelay        : 500,
  typeDelay         : 200,
  clearOnHighlight  : true,
  typerDataAttr     : 'data-typer-targets',
  typerInterval     : 2000
}

Set the options individually:


   $.typer.options.highlightSpeed = 500;
