Amazing Typing Effect using Typed.js (JavaScript)

#css #javascript #webdev #beginners

Hello Guys! Welcome to Coding Torque. In this blog, I'm going to explain to you how to make an amazing typing effect using Typed.js. This will be a step-by-step guide including HTML and CSS. Let's get started 🚀.

Let's cover HTML Part

We use HTML to make the skeleton of a website. HTML is a markup language.

Now let's import the fonts using Google Fonts API. Below is the code for Poppins Font. Paste the below code in <head> tag.

<link rel="preconnect" href="https://fonts.googleapis.com">
<link rel="preconnect" href="https://fonts.gstatic.com" crossorigin>
<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Poppins&display=swap" rel="stylesheet">
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Now let's design the container in our <body> tag. In the below HTML code, we have created a container that contains welcome heading and designation which will have a type effect.

<div class="container">
    <h1>Hi! I'm Piyush Patil</h1>
    <h6 style="display: flex; align-items: center;">
        <p id="designation"></p>
    </h6>
</div>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Add the below script tag before ending your body tag. This is the CDN of typed.js JavaScript Library

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/typed.js/2.0.0/typed.js"
        integrity="sha512-ioFpA4cD4gmoOhHglW4f6gep7w+YL7UMKtXx4ebJ5NN4SscmnZYYmSjkA+DaHGvBI4wpYVPx2C7DmmV9TgbIbQ=="
        crossorigin="anonymous" referrerpolicy="no-referrer"></script>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Here is the final HTML code 

<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">

<head>
    <!-- Required meta tags -->
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">

    <!-- Google Fonts  -->
    <link rel="preconnect" href="https://fonts.googleapis.com">
    <link rel="preconnect" href="https://fonts.gstatic.com" crossorigin>
    <link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Poppins&display=swap" rel="stylesheet">

    <title>Amazing Type Effect using JavaScript - @code.scientist x @codingtorque</title>
</head>


<body>
    <div class="container">
        <h1>Hi! I'm Piyush Patil</h1>
        <h6 style="display: flex; align-items: center;">
            <p id="designation"></p>
        </h6>
    </div>

    <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/typed.js/2.0.0/typed.js"
        integrity="sha512-ioFpA4cD4gmoOhHglW4f6gep7w+YL7UMKtXx4ebJ5NN4SscmnZYYmSjkA+DaHGvBI4wpYVPx2C7DmmV9TgbIbQ=="
        crossorigin="anonymous" referrerpolicy="no-referrer"></script>

</body>

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
