Usage

This plugin follows the CommonJS spec, so you can bundle and require it on the browser with browserify or the like.

<script>
var tm = require('title-marquee');

// Scroll text
tm('Get Low - Lil Jon and the Eastside Boyz');

// Scroll in reverse
tm({ text: 'Someone Like You - Adele', type: 'reverse' });

// Scroll left and right
tm({ text: 'Cool Kids - Echosmith', type: 'bounce' });

// Faster!!!!
tm({ text: 'Heartless - Kanye West', speed: 150 });

// Or use engrish
tm({ text: 'Hot in Herrre - Nelly', speed: 'slow' });

// Other stuff
tm.pause();
tm.resume();
tm.toggle();
tm.text('Change the title to this text right here');

</script>

Consecutive calls to title-marquee will replace the current title.

Default Options

{
  buffer: 10,       // # chars shown
  type: 'scroll',   // 'scroll' | 'reverse' | 'bounce'
  speed: 'normal',  // 'slow' | 'normal' | 'fast' | time in ms
}

API

tm(options)

Pass in an options hash or just a string to kick off the scrolling.

.pause()

Pauses that shit

.resume()

Resume the scrolling

.toggle()

Too lazy to care? Flip a switch.

.text(str)
