TypeWriter Effect Library

@omnedia/rxjs-typewriter is a lightweight and easy-to-use npm library for creating typewriter effects in your web applications.
It uses RxJS to manage the typewriting effect, ensuring smooth and customizable animations.

Installation

You can install the library via npm:

npm install @omnedia/rxjs-typewriter

Usage

First, import the TypeWriter class from the library:

import { TypeWriter } from '@omnedia/rxjs-typewriter';

Then, create an instance of the TypeWriter class and use the typeWriteEffect method to start the typewriter effect:

const typewriter = new TypeWriter();

typewriter.typeWriteEffect(['Hello', 'World'])
  .subscribe((text) => {
    console.log(text); // Output the current state of the typewriter effect
  });

API

typeWriteEffect(words: string[], loop?: boolean, writeSpeed?: number, deleteDelay?: number, writeDelay?: number): Observable<string>

Starts the typewriter effect.

• words: An array of strings to be typed.
• loop: (optional): If set to false, the last word in the words array will stay.
• writeSpeed (optional): The speed of typing each character in milliseconds. Default is 40.
• deleteDelay (optional): The delay before starting to delete the typed word in milliseconds. Default is 3500.
• writeDelay (optional): The delay before starting to type the next word after deleting the current word in milliseconds. Default is 50.

Example

const typewriter = new TypeWriter();

typewriter.typeWriteEffect(
  ['Hello', 'World'],
  true,     // loop (default true)
  100,      // write speed
  2000,     // delete delay
  100       // write delay
).subscribe((text) => {
  document.getElementById('output').innerText = text;
});

Customization

You can customize the typing speed, delay after typing a word, and delay after deleting a word by passing optional parameters to the typeWriteEffect method.

const typewriter = new TypeWriter();

typewriter.typeWriteEffect(
  ['Hello', 'World'],
  true,     // loop (default true)
  100,      // Custom write speed
  2000,     // Custom delete delay
  100       // Custom write delay
).subscribe((text) => {
  document.getElementById('output').innerText = text;
});
