typetype
typetype is a jQuery plugin that simulates a human typing.
Usage
Include jQuery and jquery.typetype.min.js (just 517 bytes gzipped).
You can then append some text to textareas, inputs or other HTML elements.
$('textarea').typetype('Some text that you want to demo')Customize the typing
$('textarea').typetype(
'Text to append',
{
e: 0.04, // error rate. (use e=0 for perfect typing)
t: 100, // interval between keypresses
keypress: function (){
// called after every keypress (this may be an erroneous keypress!)
},
callback: function (){
// the `this` keyword is bound to the particular element.
}
}
)backspace jQuery plugin
Similarly, you can backspace text from an element in a believable way.
$('textarea').backspace(
14, // number of chars to backspace
{
t: 100, // interval between keypresses
keypress: function (){ },
callback: function (){ }
}
)Combined with jQuery animations
Both plugins can be chained to make very readable, sequential jQuery:
$('textarea')
.typetype('Hello, world!')
.delay(1000)
.typetype('\n\nGoodbye.')
.backspace(25)
.fadeOut() // regular jQuery effects queue up nicelyInspired by
@dmotz's delightful TuringType. I was also inspired by Daniel LeCheminant's StackOverflow in 4096 bytes.
I challenge anyone to make a smaller gzipped version! (make gz was useful)
