Motion Techniques

Move

transform: translateX(10px);

Resize

transform: scale(0.5);

Rotate

transform: rotate(1turn);

Fade

opacity: 0;

Move

<div class="circle base elastic"></div>

.base {
  animation: move 2s infinite;
}
.elastic { 
  animation-timing-function: 
    cubic-bezier(.8,-0.6,0.2,1.5);
}

@keyframes move {
  0% { 
    transform: translateX(-250px);
  }
  40%, 60% { 
    transform: translateX(50px);
  }
  100% { 
    transform: translateX(250px);
  }
}

Rotate

<div class="square base linear"></div>

.base {
  animation: spin 2s infinite;
}
.linear {
  animation-timing-function: linear;
}

@keyframes spin {
  to { 
    transform: rotate(1turn);
  }
}

Resize

<div class="circle base"></div>

.base {
  animation: size 2s infinite;
}

@keyframes size {
  0%, 40%, 100% {
    transform: scale(1);
  }
  25%, 60% {
    transform: scale(1.1);
  }
}

Fade

<div class="circle base elastic"></div>

.base {
  animation: fade 2s infinite;
}

@keyframes fade {
  0% { 
    transform: translateX(0px);
    opacity: 0;
  }
  40%, 60% { 
    transform: translateX(80px);
    opacity: 1;
  }
  100% { 
    transform: translateX(0px);
    opacity: 0;
  }
}

Angular Animations

States & Transitions

fadeIn

fadeOut

Fading animation

TRANSITIONS

STATE

STATE

fadeIn => fadeOut

fadeOut => fadeIn

opacity: 1

opacity: 0

animate('400ms linear')

animate('400ms linear')

fadeOut <=> fadeIn

animate('400ms linear')

Fading an Element

import {fade} from './animations';

@Component({
  selector: 'my-app',
  template: `<button [@fade]='fade' (click)="toggleFade()">Fade</button>`,
  animations: [ fade ]
})
export class App {
  fade = 'fadeIn';
  toggleFade(){
    this.fade = this.fade === 'fadeIn' ? 'fadeOut' : 'fadeIn';
  }
}

Fading Animation

import { 
  trigger, transition, state, style, animate 
} from '@angular/animations';

export const fade = trigger('fade', [
  state('fadeIn', style({ opacity: 1 })),
  state('fadeOut', style({ opacity: 0 })),
  transition('fadeIn <=> fadeOut', animate('400ms linear'))
]);

Dynamic Animations

Builder

`(${x}, ${y})`

Player

build()

play()

AnimationBuilder

import {AnimationBuilder} from "@angular/animations";
export class MyComponent {
  constructor(
    private elem: ElementRef, 
    private builder: AnimationBuilder
  ) {
    const player = this.playerMoveTo({ x: 100, y: 100 });
    player.play();
  } 
  playerMoveTo(to) {
    const moveAnimation = this.builder.build([
      animate('1s', style({ transform: `translate(${x}px, ${y}px)` }))
    ]);
    return moveAnimation.create(this.elem.nativeElement
      , {params: { x: to.x, y: to.y }});
  }
}

Tracking mouse position

constructor(
  private elem: ElementRef
) {
  // find out center
  this.mx = elem.nativeElement.offsetWidth/2;
  this.my = elem.nativeElement.offsetHeight/2;
} 

ngOnInit() {
  const mouseMove$ = fromEvent(document, 'mousemove')
    .pipe(map(e => ({ x: e.pageX, y: e.pageY })));

  mouseMove$.subscribe({
    next: e => {
      this.lastPosition = { x: e.x-this.mx, y: e.y-this.my };
      const player = this.playerMoveTo(this.lastPosition);
      player.play();
    }
  })
}
