TypewriterConfig<T>

Properties

• actions Optional

  TypewriterAction []

  The actions this Typewriter is set to enter. Each stroke represents a key press on the Typewriter. A stroke can add or remove characters, or move the cursor.

  Defaults to an empty array, meaning no actions will be made.

  Since 1.2.0

• autoPlay Optional

  boolean

  Whether or not the animation will immediately start playing.

  When true the animation will start playing immediately, when false the animation will start when play() is called.

  Note: the animation will only start playing when there are actions defined.

  Defaults to true meaning that the animation will play instantly.

  Since 1.2.0

• blinkAfter Optional

  number

  The time it takes until a cursor starts blinking again after the cursor was used.

  A cursor does not blink when it is used until after a certain time. So if you keep typing the cursor does not blink, until you stop typing for some "predefined amount" of time.

  The blinkAfter is what represents that 'predefined amount' of time, you can also say this is a debounce time.

  Note: when you set the blinkAfter to a number lower or equal to the delay of a TypewriterAction, it will negate the debounce. The effect is that all "CHANGED" events will have a "BLINKING" event. This might not "visually" affect your animation, but will make the Typewriter send extra events. If this happens it is technically as "misconfiguration" on your part, but the Typewriter will not throw any errors, since visually nothing bad happens.

  Defaults to after 250 milliseconds.

  Since 1.2.0

• cursors Optional

  TypewriterCursorConfig<T> []

  The cursors the Typewriter is going to have.

  Defaults to one cursor at the end of the provided text with an empty name.

  Since 1.2.0

• keepHistoryFor Optional

  number

  For how many items the history may contain in the Typewriter.

  Defaults to 0 meaning that it will not track history.

  Since 1.2.0

• repeat Optional

  boolean | number

  Whether or not this animation repeats and how often.

  There are three ways to define repeat.

  1. When repeat is false or 1 it will never repeat the animation, the animation will run only once.
  2. When repeat is true it will repeat the animation forever.
  3. When repeat is a number it will repeat the animation for given number of times. If the number is 0 or a negative number is provided a error occurs.

  Defaults to false meaning that the animation will run once.

  Since 1.2.0

• repeatDelay Optional

  number

  The time in milliseconds the animation is paused in between repeats.

  Defaults to 0 milliseconds, meaning an almost instant repeat.

  Since 1.2.0

• text Optional

  string

  The initial text the Typewriter starts with.

  Defaults to '' meaning that the Typewriter will not have an initial text.

  Since 1.2.0
