Typing effect without Javascript

CSS is powerful, you can do a lot of things without JS, also it's important because it controls all design-related aspects of your website. Typography, colors, page layouts, and any other visual aspects of your website are all controlled by mighty CSS.

I rely on CSS, which means I use Javascript as little as possible. Today I will show you the typing effect without any JavaScript!

Let's jump to the code!

<div class="container">
    <div class="type">
      This is one cool effect
    </div>
</div>

And a little bit of CSS

.container {
  height: 100vh;
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: center;
}
.type {
  width: 35%;
  animation: typing 2s steps(22), blink .5s step-end infinite alternate;
  white-space: nowrap;
  overflow: hidden;
  border-right: 3px solid;
  font-family: monospace;
  font-size: 2em;
}
@keyframes typing {
  from {
    width: 0
  }
}    
@keyframes blink {
  50% {
    border-color: transparent
  }
}

This is our result:

Thank you all!
