TypeWriting()

• targetElement: HTML element required
  Your element
• inputString: String required
  Your text
• typingInterval: Int
  Interval between each character
• blinkInterval: String
  Interval of the cursor blinks
• cursorColor: String
  Color of the cursor

I use the height of targetElement to set the cursor height. You could use its line-height to control cursor height.

Second parameter is the function after typing effect.

const typeWriting = new TypeWriting({
	targetElement   : document.getElementsByClassName('terminal')[0],
	inputString     : 'Hello, world.',
	typingInterval  : 130,
	blinkInterval   : '1s',
	cursorColor     : '#00fd55',
}, () => console.log('END'));

rewrite()

You could use this function to do the same effect but different text at same element.

typeWriting.rewrite('Welcome to TypeWriting.js', () => {
	console.log('Rewrite() is finished');
});
