## Usage

Anime.js V4 works by importing ES modules like so:


<table>
<tr>
  <td>

```javascript
import {
  animate,
  stagger,
} from 'animejs';

animate('.square', {
  x: 320,
  rotate: { from: -180 },
  duration: 1250,
  delay: stagger(65, { from: 'center' }),
  ease: 'inOutQuint',
  loop: true,
  alternate: true
});
```

  </td>
  <td>
    <img align="center" alt="Anime.js code example" src="./assets/images/usage-example-result.gif">
  </td>
</tr>
</table>

## V4 Documentation

The full documentation is available [here](https://animejs.com/documentation).

## V3 Migration guide

You can find the v3 to v4 migration guide [here](https://github.com/juliangarnier/anime/wiki/Migrating-from-v3-to-v4).

## NPM development scripts

First, run `npm i` to install all the necessary packages.
Then, execute the following scripts with `npm run <script>`.

| script | action |
| ------ | ------ |
| `dev` | Watches for changes in `src/**/*.js`, bundles the ESM version to `lib/` and creates type declarations in `types/` |
| `dev:test` | Runs `dev` and `test:browser` concurrently |
| `build` | Bundles ESM / UMD / CJS / IIFE versions to `lib/` and creates type declarations in `types/` |
| `test:browser` | Starts a local server and runs all browser-related tests |
| `test:node` | Starts Node-related tests |
| `open:examples` | Starts a local server to browse the examples locally |
