jquery-animate.css

This plugin allows you to control css animations from jQuery taking advantage of callbacks and promises.

The css part is cloned from daneden/animate.css

Getting started

Import JS and the CSS files in your page:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="libs/jquery-animate.css/libs/animate.css" />

<script src="libs/jquery-animate.css/jquery-animate.css.js"></script>

Then simply perform an animation:

$(".target").animateCss('bounce');

Usage and features

This plugin has the following features:

$.fn.animateCss(effect /*string*/); //or $.fn.animateCss(effect /*string*/, options /*plainObject*/); //or $.fn.animateCss(effect /*string*/, callback /*function*/);

Options is a plain object:

{   delay : 0,                // in milliseconds   duration : 800,           // in milliseconds   callback : function() {}, // function with element scope   queue : 'fx'              // the queueName to be used }

Option duration

The duration of the CSS animation applied. Default value defined in CSS with animation-duration property. If no defined, 1000ms is applied.

$(".target").animateCss('bounce', {duration: 500});

Option delay

The offset until animation begins.

$(".target").animateCss('bounce', {delay: 500});

Option callback

The callback which will be executed after animation ends. The plugin has an internal control to ensure callback is called even if animation does not exists.

It is also possible to use promise to manage the callback or actions after animation.

$(".target").animateCss('bounce', {     callback: function() {         $(this).html("Callback!");     }     });

Remember it is possible to pass callback directly as second argument:

$(".target").animateCss('bounce', function() {         $(this).html("Callback!");     });

Promises and deferreds

This plugins uses the fx queue so it is possible to use the promise to manage when the queue has ended.

$(".target").animateCss('bounce').promise()     .then(         function() {             $(this).html("Promise resolved!");         }     );

Remember you can modify the queueName with the queue option:

$(".target").animateCss('bounce', {queue : 'anim'}).promise('anim')     .then(         function() {             $(this).html("Promise resolved!");         }     );
