Typing Effect
Hello Guys! Welcome to Coding Torque. In this blog, I'm going to explain to you how to make Typing effect using vanilla JavaScript. You can use this effect on your website/portfolio to showcase any skills/features. This will be a step-by-step guide. Let's get started 🚀.
Let's go step by step:
Step 1: HTML Code
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<!-- Required meta tags -->
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<title>Typing Effect using JavaScript - @code.scientist</title>
</head>
<body>
<div class="container">
<p>Coding is <span class="typed-text"></span><span class="cursor"> </span></p>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Output Till Now
Step 2: CSS Code
@import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Montserrat');
* {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
body {
font-family: 'Montserrat', sans-serif;
background-color: #000;
color: #eee;
}
.container {
height: 100vh;
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
align-items: center;
}
.container p {
font-size: 3rem;
padding: 0.5rem;
font-weight: bold;
letter-spacing: 0.1rem;
text-align: center;
overflow: hidden;
}
.container p span.typed-text {
font-weight: normal;
color: #dd7732;
}
.container p span.cursor {
display: inline-block;
background-color: #ccc;
margin-left: 0.1rem;
width: 3px;
animation: blink 1s infinite;
}
.container p span.cursor.typing {
animation: none;
}
@keyframes blink {
0% {
background-color: #ccc;
}
49% {
background-color: #ccc;
}
50% {
background-color: transparent;
}
99% {
background-color: transparent;
}
100% {
background-color: #ccc;
}
}
Output Till Now
Step 3: JavaScript Code
const typedTextSpan = document.querySelector(".typed-text");
const cursorSpan = document.querySelector(".cursor");
const textArray = ["hard", "fun", "a journey", "LIFE"];
const typingDelay = 200;
const erasingDelay = 100;
const newTextDelay = 2000; // Delay between current and next text
let textArrayIndex = 0;
let charIndex = 0;
function type() {
if (charIndex < textArray[textArrayIndex].length) {
if (!cursorSpan.classList.contains("typing")) cursorSpan.classList.add("typing");
typedTextSpan.textContent += textArray[textArrayIndex].charAt(charIndex);
charIndex++;
setTimeout(type, typingDelay);
}
else {
cursorSpan.classList.remove("typing");
setTimeout(erase, newTextDelay);
}
}
function erase() {
if (charIndex > 0) {
if (!cursorSpan.classList.contains("typing")) cursorSpan.classList.add("typing");
typedTextSpan.textContent = textArray[textArrayIndex].substring(0, charIndex - 1);
charIndex--;
setTimeout(erase, erasingDelay);
}
else {
cursorSpan.classList.remove("typing");
textArrayIndex++;
if (textArrayIndex >= textArray.length) textArrayIndex = 0;
setTimeout(type, typingDelay + 1100);
}
}
document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function () { // On DOM Load initiate the effect
if (textArray.length) setTimeout(type, newTextDelay + 250);
});
