Question 1

How do I make a typing animation loop with Typical?

Accepted Answer

To create a loop, pass the 'type' function as a step in your sequence. Alias it as 'loop' for clarity, and include it where you want repetition. For finite loops, duplicate your steps multiple times in the arguments.

Question 2

Can Typical handle emoji in animations without issues?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Typical fully supports emoji and Unicode characters. The smart delete feature correctly handles multi-byte characters, ensuring smooth deletion without breaking the animation sequence.

Question 3

Typical vs Typed.js: which one should I use for my website?

Accepted Answer

Choose Typical if you need a minimalist, dependency-free library under 400 bytes with smart behavior. Typed.js offers more features like built-in cursor animations but is larger. Consider your project's size and customization needs.

Question 4

How do I add a blinking cursor to a Typical typing effect?

Accepted Answer

Typical doesn't include cursor animations. You need to add a cursor element separately using CSS or JavaScript, such as toggling a class on the target element during typing steps for visual effects.

Question 5

Does Typical work with server-side rendering in frameworks like Next.js?

Accepted Answer

Typical is a client-side library and requires JavaScript execution. For SSR, import it dynamically or use it only on the client-side to avoid hydration errors, as it manipulates the DOM directly.

Question 6

Is Typical accessible for screen readers and users with disabilities?

Accepted Answer

Typical manipulates DOM text, which can interfere with accessibility. You must manage ARIA attributes or provide fallback content manually, as the library doesn't handle this automatically.
