Is there a way to code the Typewriter effect in Webflow using Typed.js to only start when the text scrolls into view?

Yes, it is possible to code the typewriter effect in Webflow using Typed.js, and you can set it up to only start when the text scrolls into view. Here's how you can achieve this:

1. Install Typed.js: First, you'll need to install the Typed.js library in your Webflow project. You can do this by including the Typed.js script in your project's custom code section or by using a code injection tool like the HTML Embed widget.

2. Add a trigger element: Create a new HTML element that will act as the trigger for the typewriter effect. This element should be positioned where you want the effect to start, usually when it scrolls into view. You can use a section, div, or any other HTML element for this purpose.

3. Set up the typewriter effect: Select the element containing the text you want to animate and give it a unique class name.

4. Write custom code: Add a custom code block to your page. In the code block, write JavaScript code that utilizes the Typed.js library to initialize the typewriter effect on the specified class.

5. Use Intersection Observer: To trigger the typewriter effect when the text scrolls into view, you'll need to use the Intersection Observer API. This API allows you to detect when an element enters the viewport.

6. Inside the JavaScript code block, add code that utilizes the Intersection Observer API to start the typewriter effect when the trigger element is in view. This can be achieved by adding an observer for the trigger element and using the isIntersecting property to check if it is in the viewport.

7. Start the typewriter effect: Once the trigger element is in view, use the Typed.js library to start the typewriter effect on the target element. This can be done by calling the type method on the Typed.js instance associated with the target element.

By following these steps, you can achieve the typewriter effect in Webflow and make it start only when the text scrolls into view. This can create a visually engaging experience for your website visitors.
