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)
