realistic-typewriter.js

A library for simulating typewriter effect in the browser.

Current version is 0.2. It is a complete rewrite of the previous version. The Documentation is still incomplete (look at the examples for now.)

v0.1 is available here.

Usage

var tw = typewriter(targetDomElement).withAccuracy(90) // an integer between 0 and 100 (100 means no typos)
                                     .withMinimumSpeed(5) // minimum typing speed (characters per second)
                                     .withMaximumSpeed(10) // maximum typing speed
                                     .build();

tw.clear() // clear targetDomElement
  .put('$ ') // instantly put '$ ' in targetDomElement
  .waitRange(1000, 2000) // wait randomly between 1000ms and 2000ms
  .type('whoami') // type 'whoami'
  .put('<br/>') // yes, you can put html tags in targetDomElement
  .wait(2000) // wait for 2000ms
  .put('realistic-typewriter.js', function () {
    console.log('yeah'); // 1
  })
  .put('<br/>') // will be executed after 1
  .waitRange(500, 1000)
  .put('$ ')
  .waitRange(1000, 2000)
  .type('exit', function () {
    console.log('finished');
  });
