Minimit Anima

Css3 transitions and transforms with jQuery with fallback for older browsers

It's built to have fast animation execution, and it has an api similar to jquery animate, with animations queueing.

By default the anima method do automatic fallback animations on browsers without transitions or transform3d, and instant animations on browsers without transform.

It also does scale, rotate and skew animations on browsers without transitions thanks to jquery.transform.js included in the plugin.

Browser support

IE8+, Firefox 3.5+, Safari 3+, Chrome, Ios, Android.

Demo

My website minimit.com and my twitter.

Install

Install with Bower bower install minimit-anima or download manually.

Api

Include minimit-anima after jQuery (v1.6.4+):

<script src='jquery.js'></script>
<script src='minimit-anima.min.js'></script>

Use the anima method to have automatic fallback:

anima(properties:object, duration:number, easing:string, options:object);

Combine the anima3d method to execute animations only on browser with transitions and transform3d, with the anima2d method to execute animations on fallback browsers:

anima3d(properties:object, duration:number, easing:string, options:object);
anima2d(properties:object, duration:number, easing:string, options:object);

Use the stopAnima method to stop current running animations:

stopAnima(clearQueue:boolean, jumpToEnd:boolean);

Use the delayAnima method to delay the animations queue:

delayAnima(time:number);

Use the clearAnima method to clear the queued animations:

clearAnima();

Parameters

Instant animations are default:

$(this).anima({x:20, y:20});

You can specify a duration, default easing is "easeOut":

$(this).anima({x:20, y:20}, 400);

You can specify a custom easing or a preset easing:

$(this).anima({x:20, y:20}, 400, ".19,1,.22,1");
$(this).anima({x:0, y:0}, 400, "linear");

You can set a function to execute on animation complete:

$(this).anima({x:20, y:20}, 400, ".19,1,.22,1", {complete:function(){$(this).anima({x:-20, y:-20}, 400, "linear");}});

You can skip instant animations on browser with no transforms support:

$(this).anima({x:20, y:20}, 400, ".19,1,.22,1", {skipInstant:true});

The properties you can animate can be:

any css, use string if it has a hypen like {"margin-top":20}
any transform, like x, y, z, skew, skewX, skewY, scale, scaleX, scaleY, scaleZ, rotate, rotateX, rotateY, rotateZ, perspective

The easing property can be:

a custom bezier, you can make your own at cubic-bezier.com.
a preset, like linear, ease, easeIn, easeOut, easeInOut, easeInQuad, easeInCubic, easeInQuart, easeInQuint, easeInSine, easeInExpo, easeInCirc, easeInBack, easeOutQuad, easeOutCubic, easeOutQuart, easeOutQuint, easeOutSine, easeOutExpo, easeOutCirc, easeOutBack, easeInOutQuad, easeInOutCubic, easeInOutQuart, easeInOutQuint, easeInOutSine, easeInOutExpo, easeInOutCirc, easeInOutBack

Properties

####Css

You can animate any css (still have to test all) listed here:

$(this).anima({"padding-right":"20px", opacity:0.6}, 400);

####Translate

Use translateX , translateY, or translateZ:

$(this).anima({translateX:20, translateY:20}, 400); // px is default unit
$(this).anima({translateX:"0%", translateY:"0%"}, 400);

Alternatively use the short syntax x , y, or z:

$(this).anima({x:20, y:20}, 400); // px is default unit
$(this).anima({x:"0%", y:"0%"}, 400);

####Scale

You can use scale, scaleX, scaleY or scaleZ:

$(this).anima({scaleX:0.6, scaleY:0.6}, 400);
$(this).anima({scale:"1, 1"}, 400);

####Rotate

You can use rotate, rotateX, rotateY or rotateZ:

$(this).anima({rotate:45}, 400); // deg is default unit
$(this).anima({rotateX:"0deg"}, 400);

####Skew

You can use skew, skewX or skewY:

$(this).anima({skewX:20, skewY:20}, 400); // deg is default unit
$(this).anima({skew:"0deg, 0deg"}, 400);

Utils

####Stop

Stop the current running animation:

$(this).anima({x:20}, 400); // this get stopped
$(this).delayAnima(400).anima({y:20}, 400);
$(this).stopAnima();

Stop the current running animations and clear all delayed animations:

$(this).anima({x:20}, 400); // this get stopped
$(this).delayAnima(400).anima({y:20}, 400); // this get cleared
$(this).stopAnima(true);

Stop the current running animations and jump to end:

$(this).anima({x:20}, 400); // this get stopped and jumped to end
$(this).delayAnima(400).anima({y:20}, 400);
$(this).stopAnima(false, true);

####Delay

Delay the animations queue:

$(this).anima({x:20, y:0}, 400);
$(this).delayAnima(400).anima({x:20, y:20}, 400); // this get delayed
$(this).delayAnima(400).anima({x:0, y:20}, 400); // this get delayed

####Clear

Clear all delayed animations that have not yet been run:

$(this).anima({x:20}, 400);
$(this).delayAnima(400).anima({y:20}, 400); // this get cleared
$(this).clearAnima();

Advanced usage

####Fix chrome and safari flicker

Fix chrome 1 pixel shift and safari flicker:

$(this).css("backface-visibility", "hidden").css("perspective", "1000");

####Hardware acceleration

Trigger hardware accelerated animations by adding the z and the perspective properties:

$(this).anima({x:200, z:0, perspective:1000}, 800);

####Transform origin

You can set transform-origin on the element that you animate:

$(this).css("transform-origin","0% 0%");
$(this).anima({rotate:"45deg"}, 400);

####3D and 2D

Do different animations based on browser support of transition and transform3d:

$(this).anima3d({rotateX:"100deg", rotateY:"100deg", rotateZ:"100deg"}, 400).anima2d({scale:0.6}, 400);
$(this).anima3d({rotateX:"0deg", rotateY:"0deg", rotateZ:"0deg"}, 400).anima2d({scale:1}, 400);

####Transform values retain

Since transform animations haven't persistent values, you have to include them in every anima if you want to retain the values:

$(this).anima({x:20, y:20});
$(this).anima({x:20, y:20, rotate:"40deg"}, 400);

Or it will transform to the default value like this:

$(this).anima({x:20, y:20});
$(this).anima({rotate:"40deg"}, 400);

####Perspective

Because browsers inconsistencies, use this syntax to avoid browser bugs:

put the perspective css the animated elements and on parent elements
put the perspective anima in all the animate (chrome and ie fix)

$(this).css("perspective", "100px");
$(this).parent().css("perspective", "100px");
$(this).anima({perspective:"100px", rotateX:"0deg", rotateY:"0deg"});
$(this).anima({perspective:"100px", rotateX:"180deg", rotateY:"0deg"}, 400);
$(this).anima({perspective:"100px", rotateX:"180deg", rotateY:"180deg"}, 400);

####Perspective origin

Because browsers inconsistencies, use this syntax to avoid browser bugs:

put the perspective-origin css the animated elements and on parent elements

$(this).css("perspective-origin", "-20px 20px").css("perspective", "100px");
$(this).parent().css("perspective-origin", "-20px 20px").css("perspective", "100px");
$(this).anima({perspective:"100px", rotateX:"0deg", rotateY:"0deg"});
$(this).anima({perspective:"100px", rotateX:"180deg", rotateY:"0deg"}, 400);
$(this).anima({perspective:"100px", rotateX:"180deg", rotateY:"180deg"}, 400);
