How can Typed.js by Matt Boldt be integrated into Webflow?

Integrating Typed.js by Matt Boldt into Webflow allows you to create dynamic text animations on your site. Here's how to do it:

​

1. Add a Custom Code Component

• In your Webflow Designer, navigate to the page where you wish to add the typed text.
• Drag and drop an Embed element (found in the "Add" panel) onto your page where you want the animation to appear.

​

2. Include Typed.js Library

• In the Embed element, insert the following script tag to include the Typed.js library from a CDN:

  ```html

  <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/typed.js@2.0.12"></script>

  ```

• This ensures that the Typed.js library will be loaded on your page.

​

3. Insert HTML Markup

• Still within the Embed element, add a span or a div with an ID or class that will be used for the typed text, like:

  ```html

  <span id="typed-output"></span>

  ```

​

4. Configure Typed.js Options

• In the page settings, go to the Before </body> tag section in the Custom Code area.
• Insert a script to initialize the Typed.js instance. For example:

  ```html

  <script>

    document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {

      new Typed('#typed-output', {

        strings: ["Welcome to Webflow!", "Enhance your website with Typed.js"],

        typeSpeed: 50,

        backSpeed: 25,

        loop: true

      });

    });

  </script>

  ```

• Adjust typeSpeed, backSpeed, and loop as desired to fit your animation needs.

​

5. Publish and Test

• Publish your Webflow project to an accessible URL.
• View the published page to ensure the Typed.js animation functions as expected.

​

Summary

Typed.js can be integrated into Webflow by adding a custom code component with the library link, setting up HTML to display typed content, and using a script to configure animation settings. Adjust the speed settings and test to ensure proper functionality on the published page.
