Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

A simple and lightweight JavaScript Typewriter effect library for animating typing of multiple words or phrases sequentially.


Features

  • Animate typing of multiple words or sentences

  • Easy to use with plain JavaScript or popular frameworks like React, Next.js, Vue, and more
  • Provides a destroy() method to stop the animation and clean up timers

Installation

npm install text-animator

Usage

1. Reactjs

import React, { useEffect, useRef } from "react";
import Typewriter from "text-animator";

const TypewriterComponent = () => {
const elementRef = useRef(null);
const words = [
    "Type what you want to build here...",
    "Enter your prompt here...",
    "Describe what you want to build...",
];

useEffect(() => {
    const typewriter = new Typewriter(elementRef.current, words, {
    typingSpeed: 40,
    pauseTime: 500,
    });

    return () => typewriter.destroy();
}, []);

return <div ref={elementRef} style={{ fontFamily: "monospace", fontSize: 20 }} />;
};

export default TypewriterComponent;

2. Vanilla JS

import Typewriter from "text-animator";

const element = document.getElementById("typewriter");
const words = [
  "Type what you want to build here...",
  "Enter your prompt here...",
  "Describe what you want to build..."
];

const typewriter = new Typewriter(element, words, {
  typingSpeed: 40,
  pauseTime: 500,
});
  • add the following html to your page
<div id="typewriter"></div>

3. Nextjs

import { useEffect, useRef } from "react";
import Typewriter from "text-animator";

export default function Home() {
  const elementRef = useRef(null);
  const words = [
    "Type what you want to build here...",
    "Enter your prompt here...",
    "Describe what you want to build...",
  ];

  useEffect(() => {
    const typewriter = new Typewriter(elementRef.current, words, {
      typingSpeed: 40,
      pauseTime: 500,
    });

    return () => typewriter.destroy();
  }, []);

  return (
    <main>
      <h1>Next.js Typewriter Example</h1>
      <div ref={elementRef} style={{ fontFamily: "monospace", fontSize: 20 }} />
    </main>
  );
}

4. Vue3

<template>
  <div ref="typewriter" class="typewriter-text"></div>
</template>

<script setup>
    import { ref, onMounted, onBeforeUnmount } from "vue";
    import Typewriter from "text-animator";

    const typewriter = ref(null);
    const words = [
    "Type what you want to build here...",
    "Enter your prompt here...",
    "Describe what you want to build...",
    ];

    let typewriterInstance = null;

    onMounted(() => {
    typewriterInstance = new Typewriter(typewriter.value, words, {
        typingSpeed: 40,
        pauseTime: 500,
    });
    });

    onBeforeUnmount(() => {
    if (typewriterInstance) {
        typewriterInstance.destroy();
    }
    });
</script>

5. Javascript

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <title>Typewriter Demo</title>
</head>
<body>
  <div id="output"></div>

  <script type="module">
    import Typewriter from 'text-animator';

    const element = document.getElementById('output');
    const words = [
      "Type what you want to build here...",
      "Enter your prompt here...",
      "Describe what you want to build..."
    ];

    const typewriter = new Typewriter(element, words, {
      typingSpeed: 40,
      pauseTime: 500
