Textillate.js v0.4.1 
See a live demo here.
Textillate.js combines some awesome libraries to provide an easy-to-use plugin for applying CSS3 animations to any text.
Usage
Let's start with the basic markup:
<h1 class="tlt">My Title</h1>And your JavaScript should look like this:
$(function () { $('.tlt').textillate(); })This will animate using the default options. To change the defaults, you can either use the html data api:
<h1 class="tlt" data-in-effect="rollIn">Title</h1>or pass in options on initialization (see full list of options below):
$('.tlt').textillate({ in: { effect: 'rollIn' } });You can also tell textillate.js to animate a list with the following markup:
<h1 class="tlt"> <ul class="texts"> <li data-out-effect="fadeOut" data-out-shuffle="true">Some Title</li> <li data-in-effect="fadeIn">Another Title</li> </ul> </h1>$('.tlt').textillate();Notice that you can control the animation parameters on each text (<li>) using the data api.
Dependencies
To start using textillate.js, you will need the following:
Options
$('.tlt').textillate({ // the default selector to use when detecting multiple texts to animate selector: '.texts', // enable looping loop: false, // sets the minimum display time for each text before it is replaced minDisplayTime: 2000, // sets the initial delay before starting the animation // (note that depending on the in effect you may need to manually apply // visibility: hidden to the element before running this plugin) initialDelay: 0, // set whether or not to automatically start animating autoStart: true, // custom set of 'in' effects. This effects whether or not the // character is shown/hidden before or after an animation inEffects: [], // custom set of 'out' effects outEffects: [ 'hinge' ], // in animation settings in: { // set the effect name effect: 'fadeInLeftBig', // set the delay factor applied to each consecutive character delayScale: 1.5, // set the delay between each character delay: 50, // set to true to animate all the characters at the same time sync: false, // randomize the character sequence // (note that shuffle doesn't make sense with sync = true) shuffle: false, // reverse the character sequence // (note that reverse doesn't make sense with sync = true) reverse: false, // callback that executes once the animation has finished callback: function () {} }, // out animation settings. out: { effect: 'hinge', delayScale: 1.5, delay: 50, sync: false, shuffle: false, reverse: false, callback: function () {} }, // callback that executes once textillate has finished callback: function () {}, // set the type of token to animate (available types: 'char' and 'word') type: 'char' });Events
Textillate triggers the following events:
start.tlt- triggered when textillate startsinAnimationBegin.tlt- triggered when the in animation beginsinAnimationEnd.tlt- triggered when the in animation endsoutAnimationBegin.tlt- triggered when the out animation beginsoutAnimationEnd.tlt- triggered when the out animation endsend.tlt- triggered when textillate ends
$('.tlt').on('inAnimationBegin.tlt', function () { // do something });Methods
$element.textillate('start')- Manually start/restart textillate$element.textillate('stop')- Manually pause/stop textillate$element.textillate('in')- Trigger the current text's in animation$element.textillate('out')- Trigger the current text's out animation
