Animated Multilingual Placeholder Plugin - jQuery Type-placeholder.js

Type-placeholder.js is a lightweight jQuery plugin that adds an animated multilingual placeholder to your text field.

The plugin takes an array of strings and converts them into a text rotator displayed in the input field, which automatically switches between those strings with a typewriter-style typing animation.

How to use it:

1. Download and load the Type-placeholder.js plugin after jQuery.

<script src="/path/to/cdn/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="/path/to/js/type-placeholder.js"></script>

2. Call the function on the target input field and define your own placeholder text in a JS array as follows:

<input type="text" id="demo"/>

$('#demo').typePlaceholder({
  keywords: ['Hello world!', '¡Hola Mundo!', 'Bonjour le monde!', '你好世界！'],
});

3. Set the animation speed. Default: 100.

$('#demo').typePlaceholder({
  keywords: ['Hello world!', '¡Hola Mundo!', 'Bonjour le monde!', '你好世界！'],
  speed: 200,
});

4. Set time to wait before switching to the next string. Default: 1000.

$('#demo').typePlaceholder({
  keywords: ['Hello world!', '¡Hola Mundo!', 'Bonjour le monde!', '你好世界！'],
  delay: 2000,
});
