Package Exports

animate-css-grid

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (animate-css-grid) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Animate CSS Grid

demo of animate-css-grid in action

This small script wraps a CSS grid (or really, any container element) and animates updates to its children. When the grid container, or one of its immediate children, is updated via the addition or removal of a class, the grid will smoothly transition its children to their new positions and sizes.

Example on Codepen

How to use it

Call the wrapGrid method on your grid container.

The optional config object allows you to control duration, staggering, and easing.

Available easing functions.

Example options object:

{
  // create a stagger effect (default is false)
  stagger: true,
  // specify a duration in ms (default is 250 ms)
  duration: 500
  // specify an easing as a string. default is 'Quadratic.InOut'
  easing: 'Sinusoidal.InOut'
}

ES6 Module:

yarn add animate-css-grid

import { wrapGrid } from animateCSSGrid

const grid = document.querySelector(".grid");

const { unwrapGrid } = wrapGrid(grid, {duration: 500});

// later, to remove transitions
unwrapGrid()

Or from a script tag:

<script src="https://unpkg.com/animate-css-grid@latest"></script>

<script>
  const grid = document.querySelector(".grid");
  const { unwrapGrid } = animateCSSGrid.wrapGrid(grid, {stagger: true});
</script>

How it works

The script registers a MutationObserver that activates when the grid or one of its immediate children adds or loses a class. It uses the FLIP animation technique to smoothly update the grid, applying a counter transform to the children of each item so that they do not appear distorted while the transition occurs.

Requirements

The updates to the grid will have to come from addition or removal of a class. Currently, inline style updates will not trigger transitions.
If a grid item has children, they should be surrounded by a single container element.

OK:

<!-- grid style applied via a class -->
<div class="some-grid-class-that-changes">
  <!-- a grid item with a single child -->
  <div class="grid-item">
    <div>
      ...child 1
      ...child 2
    </div>
  </div>
<div>

Not going to work:

<!-- grid styles applied inline -->
<div style="[grid styles that change]">
  <!-- a grid item with multiple children -->
  <div class="grid-item">
      ...child 1
      ...child 2
  </div>
<div>
