svelte-typewriter

A simple and reusable typewriter effect for your Svelte applications

DEMO

Installation

# yarn
yarn add -D svelte-typewriter

# npm
npm install -D svelte-typewriter

Usage

<script>
	import Typewriter from 'svelte-typewriter'
</script>

<Typewriter>
	<h1>Testing the typewriter effect</h1>
	<h2>The typewriter effect cascades by default</h2>
	<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur</p>
</Typewriter>

Options

You can control the behavior of the typewriter effect by passing specific props to the Typewriter component

interval

The interval in milliseconds between each letter

default: 30

DEMO

Example:

<Typewriter interval={50}>
	<p>Each letter of this paragraph will be displayed with a interval of 50 milliseconds</p>
</Typewriter>

You can also pass a custom array of distinct intervals to mimic human typing

<Typewriter interval={[50, 60, 80]}>
	<p>Each letter of this paragraph will be randomly displayed with an interval of 50 or 60 or 80 milliseconds</p>
</Typewriter>

cascade

Enables the cascading mode, where each element is animated sequentially instead of simultaneously

default: false

DEMO

Example:

<Typewriter cascade>
	<h1>First</h1>
	<h2>Second</h2>
	<h3>Third</h3>
</Typewriter>

loop

Cycles the typewriter animation between the children elements of the <Typewriter> component

Warning: won't work if cascade is enabled

When using the loop prop, the tag name will be determined by the first child of the <Typewriter> component

default: false

Example:

<Typewriter loop>
	<p>This is a draft about the loop typewriter effect</p>
	<p>This is a draft about svelte-typewriter</p>
	<p>This text has nothing to do with the two previous phrases</p>
</Typewriter>

You can also pass a custom time interval between loops in milliseconds (the default interval is 1500 milliseconds)

<Typewriter loop={500}>
	<p>This is a draft about the loop typewriter effect</p>
	<p>This is a draft about svelte-typewriter</p>
	<p>This text has nothing to do with the two previous phrases</p>
</Typewriter>
