BigText works best on browsers that support subpixel font scaling. In order to best serve sizes to all browsers, BigText will adjust word-spacing
as well as font-size
.
<div id="bigtext">
<span>BIGTEXT</span>
<span>Makes Text Big</span>
</div>
<script>
$('#bigtext').bigtext();
</script>
Better, Progressive Enhancement-Based Example
Use display: inline
children (like a span
) so the text will flow correctly if BigText doesn’t run.
<div id="bigtext">
<span>BIGTEXT</span>
<span>Makes Text Big</span>
</div>
<script>
// Only BigText on “new-ish” browsers
if( 'querySelectorAll' in document ) {
$('#bigtext').bigtext();
}
</script>
Using a List (ordered/unordered)
<ol id="bigtext">
<li>BIGTEXT</li>
<li>Makes Text Big</li>
</ol>
<script>
$('#bigtext').bigtext();
</script>
Restrict to a subset of children
<div id="bigtext">
<p>BIGTEXT</p>
<p>Makes Text Big</p>
</div>
<script>
$('#bigtext').bigtext({
childSelector: '> p'
});
</script>
Opt-out lines using markup
<ol id="bigtext">
<li>BIGTEXT</li>
<li class="bigtext-exempt">Makes Text Big</li>
</ol>
<script>
$('#bigtext').bigtext();
</script>
<ol id="bigtext">
<li>
<span style="font-family: sans-serif">BIG</span>
<span style="font-family: serif">TEXT</span>
</li>
<li>Makes Text Big</li>
</ol>
<script>
$('#bigtext').bigtext();
</script>
Works also with letter-spacing
, word-spacing
, and text-transform
.
Warning: a known issue exists with the Google/TypeKit font loader in WebKit.
<div id="bigtext">
<span>BIGTEXT</span>
<span>Makes Text Big</span>
</div>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/webfont/1/webfont.js"></script>
<script>
$(function() {
WebFont.load({
custom: {
families: ['LeagueGothicRegular'], // font-family name
urls : ['css/fonts/league-gothic/stylesheet.css'] // URL to css
},
active: function() {
$('#bigtext').bigtext();
}
});
});
</script>
Change the default max font size
<div id="bigtext">
<span>BIG</span><!-- the shorter the line, the larger the size required -->
</div>
<script>
$('#bigtext').bigtext({
maxfontsize: 60 // default is 528 (in px)
});
</script>
Adding a default min font size
<div id="bigtext">
<span>This is a super long line that will probably be resized to epically small proportions. We need a minimum font size!</span>
</div>
<script>
$('#bigtext').bigtext({
minfontsize: 16 // default is null
});
</script>
Is your text static and unchanging?
See Paravel's FitText plugin. Curious how the two plugins compare? I've written a full comparison between FitText and BigText.
Re-BigText on Resize (Responsive BigText)As of 0.1.8, BigText implements its own debounced resize event.
BigText uses an off-canvas detached node to improve performance when sizing. Setting DEBUG_MODE
to true will leave this detached node on the canvas for visual inspection for problem resolution.
BigText.DEBUG_MODE = true;
Lines Wrapping Pre-BigText
The starting font-size must be small enough to guarantee that each individual line is not wrapping pre-BigText. If the line is too long, BigText will not size it correctly.
v0.1.0

Various bug fixes.Run these commands:
npm install
grunt
Rather than one giant Gruntfile.js
, this project is using a modular Grunt setup. Each individual grunt configuration option key has its own file located in grunt/config-lib/
(readonly upstream configs, do not modify these directly) or grunt/config/
(project specific configs). You may use the same key in both directories, the objects are smartly combined using Lo-Dash merge.
For concatenation in the previous Gruntfile setup, you’d add another key to the giant object passed into grunt.initConfig
like this: grunt.initConfig({ concat: { /* YOUR CONFIG */ } });
. In the new configuration, you’ll create a grunt/config/concat.js
with module.exports = { /* YOUR CONFIG */ };
