primrose-tween v1.0.3

primrose-tween

A tiny (~4KB) and versatile tweening library for JavaScript/TypeScript. This library was built to be usable both with Node and for web-based applications.

Quickstart

To quickly begin using Primrose for web-based applications, clone this repository and add the primrose.min.js file to your project. To access the API, simply add the script to the required HTML file.

<script type="text/javascript" src="path/to/primrose.min.js"></script>

Otherwise Primrose can be installed via NPM:

npm install --save primrose-tween

And included in a project as needed:

import { Primrose } from 'primrose-tween'; // TypeScript
const { Primrose } = require('primrose-tween'); // JavaScript

Functionality

Below is the current functionality for Primrose tweening. Only the from and to options are required. All instance methods return a reference to the instance so they can be chained from creation. The auto factory is highly useful for generating auto-playing tweens, as well as the promisified create and auto methods.

import { Primrose } from 'primrose-tween';

const options = {
    from: { alpha: 0 },     // Initial Values (must be an object reference of numerics) [REQUIRED]
    to: { alpha: 1 },       // Final Values (same as `from`) [REQUIRED]
    duration: 2000,         // Animation Duration (defaulted to 2000ms)
    onUpdate: (val) => {},  // User specified update method where `val` is the current tween values
    onComplete: () => {}    // Callback after tween completion.
};

const instance = Primrose.start(opts); // Tween instance creator.
const autoInst = Primrose.auto(opts); // Pre-started instance.

instance.start(); // Starts the tween if not already started
instance.pause(); // Pauses the tween.
instance.reset(); // Resets the tween to its beginning.
