Make More Flexible in Isomorphic Contexts

Due to how webpack was configured using TypeIt with tools like NextJS was causing errors on build, dealing with the window not being existing. This version sets the global object to this rather than the window, which should prevent issues like this from occurring.

Fix Handling of HTML Entities

A bug was causing HTML entities to be handled incorrectly, leading to strange behavior of instances that tried to type them.

Example:

//-- This would break. 
new TypeIt('#element', {
    strings: ["Oats & bananas.", "Carrots & beans."]
});

This release fixes this issue.

Fix Whitespace Issue

When a the cursor was disabled, instances of TypeIt would often show some extra whitespace that should not have been there. A small CSS adjustment fixed the problem.

Big New Release

TypeIt v6 is a significant update to the library with a couple of breaking changes, but also a whole lotta neatness.

Breaking Changes

• The autoStart option has been changed to waitUntilVisible.
• Checking for instance states requires the use of the .is() method.
• By default, all instances are inactive until the .go() method is explicitly called.
• As a result, the autoInit parameter no longer exists.

New Features / Improvements

• Leverages modern JS features like async/await.
• Introduces an improved, more intuitive, and flexible API.
• Significantly expands test coverage.
• Supports typing into form inputs and textareas.
• Introduces an asynchronous .exec() companion method.

Fix Cursor Alignment Issues When Lines Break

This release addresses some cursor alignment issues that were occurring in Firefox when lines broke.

Fix Further Alignment Issues with Cursor

Previously, when an instance lacked characters between typing strings, vertical alignment of the cursor was unpredictable and strange. This release addresses that issue, making it much more reliable and predictable.

Fix Vertical Alignment Issues with Cursor

Previously, the vertical positioning of the cursor was set to bottom: 0, which was causing issues with varying line height values. To solve this, the positioning is now set to top: auto.

Fix Cursor Alignment Issues

This change makes aligns a cursor via position: absolute in order to resolve some displacement and line break issues that were occurring.

As a result, each instance now includes a .ti-wrapper element, which houses the .ti-container and .ti-cursor elements.

Fix Bug Causing Jumbled Text, Improve Code Organization

This release fixes some bugs causing unexpected behavior involving the autoInit option and companion functions. Additionally, code is more effectively organized to separate concerns.

Ensure Required Arguments are Passed to Instances After Reset

When an instance was reset, the autoInit argument was not being passed to the constructor, resulting in errors.
