vue-typed-js

A Vue.js integration for Typed.js.

Typed.js is a library that types. Enter in any string, and watch it type at the speed you've set, backspace what it's typed, and begin a new sentence for however many strings you've set.

Installation

Example

Installation

npm install --save vue-typed-js

Default import

Install the component:

import Vue from 'vue'
import VueTypedJs from 'vue-typed-js'

Vue.use(VueTypedJs)

⚠️ A css file is included when importing the package. You may have to setup your bundler to embed the css in your page.

Browser import

<link rel="stylesheet" href="vue-typed-js/dist/vue-typed-js.css"/>

<script src="vue.js"></script>
<script src="vue-typed-js/dist/vue-typed-js.browser.js"></script>

The plugin should be auto-installed. If not, you can install it manually with the instructions below.

Install all the components:

Vue.use(VueTypedJs)

Usage

To get started simply add the vue-typed-js custom element to your template and pass the text, which should be typed to the strings property. In addition you need to pass an element with the class typing to the slot, which will be used as a wrapper.

Minimal setup:

<vue-typed-js :strings="['First text', 'Second Text']">
  <h1 class="typing"></h1>
</vue-typed-js>

The typing class also allows you to just animate certain parts of a string:

<vue-typed-js :strings="['John', 'James']">
  <h1>Hey <span class="typing"></span></h1>
</vue-typed-js>
