API

Zanimo(el | promiseel) ➜ promiseel

Takes a DOM element or a promise of a DOM element and returns a promise of the given element.

Zanimo(myDomElement).then(function (el) {
    // do something with the DOM element
}, function (reason) {
    // do something when `myDOMElement` isn't a DOM element
});

Zanimo(el | promiseel, property, value) ➜ promiseel

Applies a css style on the given DOM element.

Zanimo(myDomElement, "transform", "translate3d(200px, 200px, 0)")
    .then(function (domElt) { console.log("Done..."); });

Zanimo(el | promiseel, property, value, duration, easing) ➜ promiseel

Starts a transition on the given DOM element and returns a promise. For now Zanimo does not support hexadecimal color notation or 0px (just use 0) in the value argument.

Zanimo(myDomElement, "width", "200px", 200, "ease-in")
    .then(
        function (domElt) { /* do something on success */ },
        function (reason) { /* do something on error */ }
    );

Zanimo.f(*) ➜ ( function(el) ➜ promiseel )

Encapsulates a Zanimo(el, *) call by returning a function (el) ➜ promiseel.

Useful to define reusable transitions.

var widthTransition = Zanimo.f("width", "200px", 200, "ease-in"),
    heightTransition = Zanimo.f("height", "300px", 200, "ease-in");

Zanimo(myDomElement)
    .then(widthTransition)
    .then(heightTransition);
