Changing text color after re-entering it?

Question

I use this typical carousel effect that I got from codepen for my website, however I need help modifying it. Right now, everything he does is looping through a list of words and displaying them.

The desired effect that I need is that the text color of each individual word that is typed is different. The words:

• know-it-all.
• simply.
• pure js.
• pretty.
• fun!

all will be different colors when they are printed. How can i do this?

Codepen Example

var TxtRotate = function(el, toRotate, period) {
  this.toRotate = toRotate;
  this.el = el;
  this.loopNum = 0;
  this.period = parseInt(period, 10) || 2000;
  this.txt = '';
  this.tick();
  this.isDeleting = false;
};

TxtRotate.prototype.tick = function() {
  var i = this.loopNum % this.toRotate.length;
  var fullTxt = this.toRotate[i];

  if (this.isDeleting) {
    this.txt = fullTxt.substring(0, this.txt.length - 1);
  } else {
    this.txt = fullTxt.substring(0, this.txt.length + 1);
  }

  this.el.innerHTML = '<span class="wrap">' + this.txt + '</span>';

  var that = this;
  var delta = 300 - Math.random() * 100;

  if (this.isDeleting) {
    delta /= 2;
  }

  if (!this.isDeleting && this.txt === fullTxt) {
    delta = this.period;
    this.isDeleting = true;
  } else if (this.isDeleting && this.txt === '') {
    this.isDeleting = false;
    this.loopNum++;
    delta = 500;
  }

  setTimeout(function() {
    that.tick();
  }, delta);
};

window.onload = function() {
  var elements = document.getElementsByClassName('txt-rotate');
  for (var i = 0; i < elements.length; i++) {
    var toRotate = elements[i].getAttribute('data-rotate');
    var period = elements[i].getAttribute('data-period');
    if (toRotate) {
      new TxtRotate(elements[i], JSON.parse(toRotate), period);
    }
  }
  // INJECT CSS
  var css = document.createElement("style");
  css.type = "text/css";
  css.innerHTML = ".txt-rotate > .wrap { border-right: 0.08em solid #666 }";
  document.body.appendChild(css);
};

html,
body {
  font-family: 'Raleway', sans-serif;
  padding: 1em 2em;
  font-size: 18px;
  background: #222;
  color: #aaa

Answer 1

You can do this by specifying an array of colors:

var colours = ["red", "green", "blue", "yellow", "orange"]

and asking each cycle:

this.el.innerHTML = '<span class="wrap" style="color: ' + colours[i] + '">'+this.txt+'</span>';

HTML

<span
 class="txt-rotate"
 data-period="2000"
 data-rotate='[ "nerdy.", "simple.", "pure JS.", "pretty.", "fun!" ]'
 data-colors='[ "red", "blue", "green" ]'></span>

Javascript

window.onload = function() {
  var elements = document.getElementsByClassName('txt-rotate');
  for (var i=0; i<elements.length; i++) {
    var toRotate = elements[i].getAttribute('data-rotate');
    var period = elements[i].getAttribute('data-period');
    var colors = elements[i].getAttribute('data-colors');
    if (toRotate) {
      new TxtRotate(elements[i], JSON.parse(toRotate), JSON.parse(colors), period);
    }
  }

... ...

TxtRotate.prototype.tick = function() {
  var i = this.loopNum % this.toRotate.length;
  var fullTxt = this.toRotate[i];
  var thisColor = this.colors[this.loopNum % this.colors.length];

  ... other unchanged code ...

  this.el.innerHTML = '<span class="wrap" style="color:'+thisColor+'">'+this.txt+'</span>';

javascript, .

var TxtRotate = function(el, toRotate, period) {
  this.toRotate = toRotate;
  this.el = el;
  this.loopNum = 0;
  this.period = parseInt(period, 10) || 2000;
  this.txt = '';
  this.tick();
  this.isDeleting = false;
};
var colors = ['red','blue','green'];    // Array of colours
TxtRotate.prototype.tick = function() {
  var i = this.loopNum % this.toRotate.length;
  var fullTxt = this.toRotate[i];

  if (this.isDeleting) {
    this.txt = fullTxt.substring(0, this.txt.length - 1);
  } else {
    this.txt = fullTxt.substring(0, this.txt.length + 1);
  }

  this.el.innerHTML = '<span class="wrap" style="color:'+colors[i]+'">'+this.txt+'</span>';    // Changing colours depending on word index with colors.

  var that = this;
  var delta = 300 - Math.random() * 100;

  if (this.isDeleting) { delta /= 2; }

  if (!this.isDeleting && this.txt === fullTxt) {

    this.isDeleting = false;
    this.loopNum++;

  setTimeout(function() {
