I got this text typing animation effect code that types out a code and it's perfectly working however, I'm looking to make it loop forever with a 3 seconds delay when it ends. The animation and everything remains the same. I just don't want it to end as I'm displaying at the side of my project page.
How would I go about this?
Here's a working JSFiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/gsv0807f/
HTML
<pre id="typewriter">
<span class="var-highlight">var</span> object = {
name: <span class="string-highlight">'Foo'</span>,
type: <span class="string-highlight">'Bar'</span>,
location: <span class="string-highlight">'Earth'</span>,
properties:[<span class="string-highlight">'Javascript'</span>,
<span class="string-highlight">'HTML'</span>,
<span class="string-highlight">'CSS'</span>];
}; </pre>
CSS
.var-highlight {
color: #c0ad60;
}
.string-highlight {
color: rgba(253, 149, 90, 0.8);
}
#typewriter {
font-size: 2em;
margin: 0;
font-family: "Courier New";
}
#typewriter:after {
content: "|";
-webkit-animation: blink 500ms linear infinite alternate;
animation: blink 500ms linear infinite alternate;
}
@-webkit-keyframes blink {
0% {
opacity: 0;
}
100% {
opacity: 1;
}
}
@keyframes blink {
0% {
opacity: 0;
}
100% {
opacity: 1;
}
}
JS
function setupTypewriter(t) {
var HTML = t.innerHTML;
t.innerHTML = "";
var cursorPosition = 0,
tag = "",
writingTag = false,
tagOpen = false,
typeSpeed = 100,
tempTypeSpeed = 0;
var type = function() {
if (writingTag === true) {
tag += HTML[cursorPosition];
}
if (HTML[cursorPosition] === "<") {
tempTypeSpeed = 0;
if (tagOpen) {
tagOpen = false;
writingTag = true;
} else {
tag = "";
tagOpen = true;
writingTag = true;
tag += HTML[cursorPosition];
}
}
if (!writingTag && tagOpen) {
tag.innerHTML += HTML[cursorPosition];
}
if (!writingTag && !tagOpen) {
if (HTML[cursorPosition] === " ") {
tempTypeSpeed = 0;
}
else {
tempTypeSpeed = (Math.random() * typeSpeed) + 50;
}
t.innerHTML += HTML[cursorPosition];
}
if (writingTag === true && HTML[cursorPosition] === ">") {
tempTypeSpeed = (Math.random() * typeSpeed) + 50;
writingTag = false;
if (tagOpen) {
var newSpan = document.createElement("span");
t.appendChild(newSpan);
newSpan.innerHTML = tag;
tag = newSpan.firstChild;
}
}
cursorPosition += 1;
if (cursorPosition < HTML.length - 1) {
setTimeout(type, tempTypeSpeed);
}
};
return {
type: type
};
}
var typer = document.getElementById('typewriter');
typewriter = setupTypewriter(typewriter);
typewriter.type();

I'm not sure exactly how you want this to repeat, but this will type the output once, wait three seconds, clear the output, then start again.
cursorPosition += 1;
if (cursorPosition >= HTML.length - 1) {
setTimeout(function() {
cursorPosition = 0;
t.innerHTML = '';
setTimeout(type, tempTypeSpeed);
}, 3000);
}
else {
setTimeout(type, tempTypeSpeed);
}

Just change the ending condition:
if (cursorPosition < HTML.length - 1) {
setTimeout(type, tempTypeSpeed);
}
To an endless one:
cursorPosition = cursorPosition % HTML.length;
setTimeout(type, tempTypeSpeed);
