Typewriter effect

• Define two animations, typing to animate the characters and blink to animate the caret.
• Use the :after pseudo-element to add the caret to the container element.
• Use JavaScript to set the text for the inner element and set the --characters variable containing the character count. This variable is used to animate the text.
• Use white-space: nowrap and overflow: hidden to make content invisible as necessary.

<div class="typewriter-effect">
  <div class="text" id="typewriter-text"></div>
</div>

.typewriter-effect {
  display: flex;
  justify-content: center;
  font-family: monospace;

.typewriter-effect > .text {
  max-width: 0;
  animation: typing 3s steps(var(--characters)) infinite;
  white-space: nowrap;
  overflow: hidden;
}

.typewriter-effect:after {
  content: " |";
  animation: blink 1s infinite;
  animation-timing-function: step-end;
}
