I would like to build the blinking text effect that changes? in css.


I am looking to make a type effect that changes the words and types different words periodically. An example is http://mattfarley.ca/. This is exactly what I would like to create. As you can see the type effect changes the words and types new words. How would I do this. This is what I have thus far. Yet I don't know how to make the words change once it is finished.

.intro-text h1 {
overflow: hidden; /* Ensures the content is not revealed until the animation */
border-right: .15em solid orange; /* The typwriter cursor */
white-space: nowrap; /* Keeps the content on a single line */
margin: 0 auto; /* Gives that scrolling effect as the typing happens */
letter-spacing: .15em; /* Adjust as needed */
animation: 
typing 3.5s steps(30, end),
blink-caret .5s step-end 5;

}

/* The typing effect */
@keyframes typing {
from { width: 0 }
to { width: 100% }
}

/* The typewriter cursor effect */
@keyframes blink-caret {
from, to { border-color: transparent }
50% { border-color: orange; }
}

Solution

  • Hope this works for you.

    document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded',function(event){
      // array with texts to type in typewriter
      var dataText = [ "Amsterdam.", "Newyork", "Bengaluru", "sydney"];
      
      // type one text in the typwriter
      // keeps calling itself until the text is finished
      function typeWriter(text, i, fnCallback) {
        // chekc if text isn't finished yet
        if (i < (text.length)) {
          // add next character to h1
         document.querySelector("h1").innerHTML = text.substring(0, i+1) +'<span aria-hidden="true"></span>';
    
          // wait for a while and call this function again for next character
          setTimeout(function() {
            typeWriter(text, i + 1, fnCallback)
          }, 100);
        }
        // text finished, call callback if there is a callback function
        else if (typeof fnCallback == 'function') {
          // call callback after timeout
          setTimeout(fnCallback, 700);
        }
      }
      // start a typewriter animation for a text in the dataText array
       function StartTextAnimation(i) {
         if (typeof dataText[i] == 'undefined'){
            setTimeout(function() {
              StartTextAnimation(0);
            }, 20000);
         }
         // check if dataText[i] exists
        if (i < dataText[i].length) {
          // text exists! start typewriter animation
         typeWriter(dataText[i], 0, function(){
           // after callback (and whole text has been animated), start next text
           StartTextAnimation(i + 1);
         });
        }
      }
      // start the text animation
      StartTextAnimation(0);
    });

    }
    
    span {
      border-right: .05em solid;
      animation: caret 1s steps(1) infinite;
    }
    
    @keyframes caret {
