CSS transitions
CSS transitions provide
a way to control animation speed when changing CSS properties. Instead of
having property changes take effect immediately, you can cause the changes in a
property to take place over some time. For example, if you change the color of
an element from white to black, usually the change is instantaneous. With CSS
transitions enabled, changes occur at time intervals that follow an
acceleration curve, all of which can be customized.
Animations that
involve transitioning between two states are often called implicit
transitions as the states in between the start and final states are
implicitly defined by the browser.
CSS transitions
let you decide which properties to animate (by listing them explicitly)
when the animation will start (by setting a delay), how long the
transition will last (by setting a duration), and how the transition will
run (by defining a timing function, e.g. linearly or quick at the
beginning, slow at the end).
Transition
Property Details
transition-property: The specific CSS property whose value change needs to be
transitioned (or) all, if all the transitional properties need to be
transitioned.
Example
background, width, height, etc.
transition-duration: The duration (or period) in seconds or milliseconds over which
the transition must take place.
Example
2sec, 1minute, etc.
transition-timing-function: A function that describes how the intermediate values during the
transition are calculated. Commonly used values are ease, ease-in, ease-out,
ease-in-out, and linear.
Example
ease, ease-out, etc.
transition-delay: The amount of time that must have elapsed before the transition
can start. Can be specified in seconds (s) or milliseconds.
Example
2sec
What
Is the Difference Between Transform and Transition In CSS?
CSS
transitions allow you to smoothly change properties over a given time by using
timing functions. On the other hand, CSS
Transforms allows CSS elements to
be transformed in two-dimensional or three-dimensional space.
What
are CSS Timing Functions?
A CSS timing
function is used to allow a transition to change speed during its course, using
the transition-timing-function and animation-timing-function transitions
properties.
What
are CSS Easing Functions?
Easing
functions specify the rate of change of a parameter over time, allowing you to
add more realism to your transitions.
Which
Properties you can Animate using CSS Animations?
A lot! They are
the same you can animate using CSS Transitions, too.
