♾️ Infinite Tape

👋 Introduction

The Infinite Tape module represents a virtual tape, which can theoretically animate to infinity.

On the other hand, the Odometer Tape module is designed to represent values in a way similar to the mechanical odometer device. It provides efficient digit management and rolling animation capabilities. ♻️

💿 Installation

Using npm:

npm i -g npm
npm i --save infinite-tape

🛠️ Usage

♾️ Infinite Tape

1. Infinite Tape is imported directly from package root path.

import {InfiniteTape} from "infinite-tape";

2. Create a configuration object for the InfiniteTape class. All units are connected to the utils.unit unit.

const infiniteTapeConfiguration = {
        itemHeight: 2,
        utils: {
            unit: 'rem', // rem | em
            textSize: 16, // px
        },
        timeOfTranslation: 1000, // ms
        incrementBy: 10,
    }

3. Create a new object from InfiniteTape(tapeId, wrapperId, configuration) class.

const infiniteTape = new InfiniteTape("infiniteTapeTape", "infiniteTapeBox", infiniteTapeConfiguration);

4. Animate the tape to the new value.

infiniteTape.animateTo(45);

5. Infinite Tape has a custom event infiniteTapeCurrentValue. You can listen to changes with:

document.addEventListener("infiniteTapeCurrentValue", (e) => {
        console.log(e.detail.value);
    });

6. Add two div elements with desired ids, which need to be passed to class constructor. You must set width and height to the outer div. Note that height is limited to 9 * height of one box item, if you use height measures such as %, vh be careful because the inner tape can overflow. If height does not exceed the limited value you can use %, vh with ease.

<div id="infiniteTapeBox">
    <div id="infiniteTapeTape"></div>
</div>

0️⃣ Odometer

Odometer currently does not support negative values.

1. Odometer is imported directly from package root path.

import {OdometerTape} from "infinite-tape";

2. Create a configuration object for the InfiniteTape class. All units are connected to the utils.unit unit.

const odometerConfiguration = {
        itemHeight: 2,
        utils: {
            unit: 'rem', // rem | em
            textSize: 16, // px
        },
        timeOfTranslation: 1000, // ms
    }

3. Create a new object from OdometerTape(tapeId, wrapperId, configuration) class.

const odometerTape = new OdometerTape("odometerTapeTape", "odometerTapeBox", odometerConfiguration);

4. Animate the tape to the new value.

odometerTape.animateTo(9);

5. Odometer has a custom event odometerCurrentValue. You can listen to changes with:

document.addEventListener("odometerCurrentValue", (e) => {
        console.log(e.detail.value);
    });

6. Add two div elements with desired ids, which need to be passed to class constructor. You must set width and height to the outer div. Note that height is limited to 9 * height of one box item, if you use height measures such as %, vh be careful because the inner tape can overflow. If height does not exceed the limited value you can use %, vh with ease.

<div id="odometerTapeBox">
    <div id="odometerTapeTape"></div>
</div>

🎨 Styling

Styling the elements is achieved with overriding css ids and classes. There are 3 major elements to override:

• box
• tape
• tape item can be overwritten with class box-item

The first two elements are overwritten with your desired ids which you had to set at initialization of the elements.
