CSS-Animations

A lightweight and easy-to-use CSS animations library for web applications.

Introduction

CSS-Animations is a versatile library that offers a collection of pre-built CSS animations for use in web applications. It provides seamless integration with popular frameworks such as React and Vue.js as well as compatibility with vanilla JavaScript projects.

Installation

To install the library, use the npm package manager:

npm install universal-css-animations

Alternatively, you can include the animations.css file in your project and link it in your HTML file:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="path/to/animations.css" />

Usage

Vanilla JavaScript

Import the css-animate function:

import { cssAnimate } from 'universal-css-animations/vanilla';

Apply an animation to an element:

const element = document.querySelector('.your-element');
cssAnimate({
    element:element, 
    animationName:'fadeIn', 
    duration:1, //in seconds
    callbackFunction:callbackFunction
});

React

Import the css-animate function:

import { cssAnimate } from 'universal-css-animations';

Apply an animation to a React component:

import {useRef, useState} from 'react'
import useCssAnimate from 'universal-css-animations/react';
import "./App.css"
function App() {
    const elementRef = useRef();
    const [animationName, setAnimationName] = useState('swing');
    const [duration, setDuration] = useState(1);
    const animations = useCssAnimate({elementRef, animationName, duration:`${duration}s`,deps:[animationName,duration]});
    return (
        <div className="grid">
            <h1>CSS Animations Preview (React)</h1>
            <div>
                <select onChange={(e) => {
                    setAnimationName(e.target.value)
                }
                }>
                    <option>Select animation</option>
                    {animations.map(animation => <option key={animation} value={animation}>{animation.replace("-"," ")}</option>)}
                </select>
                <input onChange={e=>setDuration(`${e.target.value}`)} title="Control Animation Speed" type="range" value={duration} min="1" max="10" name="animation-duration"/>
                <div>Adjust slider to control animation speed</div>
            </div>

            <div id={"elem"} ref={elementRef}>{animationName.replaceAll("-"," ")} will take {duration}s</div>
        </div>
    );
}

export default App

Vue.js

Bind the css-animate to app (main.js):

import { createApp } from 'vue'
import './style.css'

import App from './App.vue'
import cssAnimateDirective from "universal-css-animations/vue";

let app = createApp(App);

app.use(cssAnimateDirective);

app.mount('#app')

Apply an animation to a Vue component:

<script setup>
import {ref} from 'vue'
import {Animations as options} from "universal-css-animations";

const animationName = ref("swing");
const animationDuration = ref(1);
</script>
<template>
  <div className="grid">
    <h1>CSS Animations Preview (Vue)</h1>
    <div>
      <select @change="(e)=>animationName=e.target.value">
        <option>Select Animation</option>
        <option v-for="option in options" :value="option">
          {{ option }}
        </option>
      </select>
      <input :min="1" :max="10" :value="animationDuration" type="range" @change="e=>animationDuration=e.target.value"/>
      <div>Adjust slider to control animation speed</div>
    </div>

    <div id="elem" v-css-animate="{animationName,animationDuration}">{{ animationName }}</div>
  </div>

</template>
