js-termynal

Typing animations are nothing new and Termynal isn’t particularly revolutionary. The author wrote it because they needed a modern and lightweight version with minimal JavaScript and without messy, nested setTimeout calls. Most of the existing libraries rely on JavaScript for both the rendering, styling and animation, or even require jQuery. This is inconvenient, especially if you’re using the animation as part of your software’s documentation. If a user has JavaScript disabled, they will only see a blank window. Termynal uses async and await, which is now supported pretty much across all major browsers. Termynal lets you write all input and output in plain HTML, and all styling in plain CSS. Non-JS users will still see the complete code, just no animation. The width and height of the terminal window is read off the original container. This means you won’t have to worry about sizing or layout reflows. Termynal also comes with a flexible HTML API, so you can use it without having to write a single line of JavaScript yourself.
