To create a typing text effect within the same wrapper in Webflow, you can use interactions and CSS animations. Here's a step-by-step guide to achieving both vertical and horizontal typing text effects:
1. Set up your HTML structure:
Start by creating a wrapper element where you want the typing effect to appear. Within the wrapper, create an element (e.g., a `div`) that will contain your text.
2. Style the wrapper and text elements:
Apply appropriate styles to the wrapper and text elements to set your desired dimensions, font, and alignment. You can use Webflow's Designer to conveniently set these styles.
3. Add interactions:
In the Webflow Designer, click on the wrapper element to open the Interactions panel. Create a new interaction and give it a name.
4. Vertical typing effect:
To create a vertical typing effect, you'll use a combination of CSS animations and interactions. Here are the steps:
i. Within the interaction, set the initial state of your text element to have a `height` of `0`, and set the `overflow` property to `hidden`.
ii. Add an initial appearance animation to the text element, such as a fade-in effect, using Webflow's built-in animations. This will make the text visible when the animation is triggered.
iii. Create a new step in the interaction and add an animation that targets the text element's `height`. Set the height value to the desired height of the text, typically the value that will make the text fully visible. Adjust the duration and easing as desired.
iv. Next, create a delay between the steps in the interaction. This delay will mimic the effect of the text being typed. Adjust the duration of the delay to create the desired typing speed.
v. Finally, repeat steps ii-iv in a loop animation so that the text appears to be continuously typing vertically.
5. Horizontal typing effect:
To create a horizontal typing effect, you can follow similar steps as above, but with some variations:
i. Within the interaction, set the initial state of your text element to have a `width` of `0`, and set the `overflow` property to `hidden`.
ii. Add an initial appearance animation to the text element, like a fade-in effect, similar to the vertical typing effect.
iii. Create a new step in the interaction and add an animation that targets the text element's `width`. Set the width value to the desired width for the text to be fully visible. Adjust the duration and easing as desired.
iv. Add a delay between the steps to mimic the effect of typing. Adjust the duration of the delay to create the desired typing speed.
v. Repeat steps ii-iv in a loop animation to create the continuous horizontal typing effect.
6. Preview and adjust:
Preview your typing text effect, making any necessary adjustments to the timing, speed, and appearance. You can also use Webflow's interactions preview mode to fine-tune the animation.
Once you're satisfied with the typing effects, publish your site to make the effects live. Users visiting the site will see the animated typing text within the same wrapper, both vertically and horizontally.
