canvas-sprite-animation v1.0.0

canvas-sprite-animation

This is my implementation of animation from a bunch of png/jpg files based on canvas.

Apple have used this technique on the MacBook Pro 16 promo page: https://www.apple.com/macbook-pro-16/

The advantage of this technique is that we will have more control over the frames loading. We can fetch frames much faster and efficient way by skiping intermediate frames.

Usage:

<!--Somewhere in dom-->
<canvas id="canvas-element" width="400" height="300"></canvas>

const canvasEl = document.getElementById('canvas-element');

const CanvasAnimation = new CanvasSpriteController({
  isParralelFetch: true,
  mainCanvas: canvasEl,
  width: 400, 
  height: 300,
  totalFrames: 240, 
  getUrlSchema: (frameId) => `sprite/${this.getNameNum(frameId)}.png`,
});

You can also use it with some tweening library like gsap
