Learning AngularJS Animations

Chapter 2. Understanding CSS3 Transitions and Animations

CSS3 transitions and CSS3 animations are standard ways to create web animations nowadays. With only a few lines of code, we can achieve great and smooth results. In this chapter, we will learn how to use CSS3 to create the animations we want so that we can hook the animations into the AngularJS pipeline.

In this chapter, we will learn:

  • CSS3 transitions
  • CSS3 keyframe animations
  • CSS transforms

CSS3 transitions

Before CSS3 transitions, when style properties of DOM elements were changed, web browsers applied new styles immediately after the operation, so the effects were rendered abruptly. As we saw in the last chapter, we could use JavaScript or jQuery to imperatively add a transition while changing the style. This is an option, but we already saw some reasons why CSS transitions might be a better choice. In Chapter 8, Animation Performance Optimization, we will learn more about the optimization of animations. CSS3 transitions enable developers to create implicit, smooth transitions when changing the CSS property of elements. We can avoid a loading animation to get frozen while JavaScript is under heavy processing by using CSS transitions. This will make a huge difference to the user's perception of quality.

Let's check a complete transition animation declaration and see how it works:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Chapter 2 - First sample...

CSS3 keyframe animations

CSS transitions allowed us to create animations using CSS for the first time. With CSS Transitions, we can define the initial and final state of the transition animation, but the progress in between the transition duration is a little out of control. It is just controlled using the transition-timing-function and transition-delay properties. This enables us to define a start and end point for the animation, and the transition connects these together. What if we want to create an animation with multiple steps and take a nonlinear path in between the start and end of the animation?

CSS keyframe animations allow us to create multiple steps between an animation duration with different timing functions between these steps. This makes our life easy as it creates complex animations using the concept of keyframes; otherwise, we will have to create multiple transitions in a sequence in order to create the full animation. In other words, transitions are a subset of what we...

CSS3 transforms

Now that we know how to declare an animation either by CSS Transitions or by CSS Animations, we will learn how to transform elements so that we will get able to create cool and useful animations.

CSS transforms allow us to transform an element by scaling, skewing, translating, or rotating it in two or three dimensions.

Here, you can imagine how to use a transform with our animations and transitions. The good news is that transform is an animatable property, which means that we can use this feature with keyframes and transitions in order to achieve animation effects. Transforms aren't strictly used for animations, but they are often useful in combination with animations.

This method is useful because it's relative, it's generic, and it can be reused on many occasions. If we want to scale an item to two times its size, we can use it for an element with a width of 100 px or 1000 px. The size doesn't matter, it will just double it. The same applies to moving...

Exercise

  1. Create one simple loading animation using three div elements that contain an animation. Each one should be filled by a black background color that increases the size from 0 to 20 px in height and width in a sequence. So, the first animation starts first, the second has a longer delay than the first one, and the third has more delay than the second one in an infinite loop.
  2. Create a loading animation using transform:rotate and CSS animations.
  3. Create an animation of a ball image or a circle that goes 100px to the right, gets back 50 px to the left, and goes 150 px to the right—all in a single animation.
  4. Create the same animation as the one in exercise 2 but in the reverse order.
  5. Create two animations similar to the animations in the guidelines of Google Material Design described at http://www.google.com/design/spec/animation/authentic-motion.html#

Summary

With the CSS3 specifications learned in this chapter, we should now be able to create simple-to-medium complex animations using CSS transitions, CSS animations, and CSS transforms. We can create loading spins, move elements smoothly, create animations with the timing we want as long as we want and professionally decide when to use CSS Transition or CSS Animation for a specific animation.

We are now ready to create our first animation on AngularJS, which will be the topic of the next chapter.

Covers transitions/animations for both the JavaScript and CSS side of things, emphasizing (rightly so) the CSS side. It's so hard to find thorough, current articles online for Angular animations, and this book gives you just that. I was able to put many examples to use right away and get past issues that had me stuck for weeks on an aspect of a project at work. The book also goes in-depth by helping you to understand the performance aspects and see which commonly chosen properties animate slow, while offering alternatives that will make the animations more efficient. jQuery is not left out in this book either and in most sections where animation techniques are taught there are alternative implementations showcased that make use of jQuery. It's a great tutorial as well as a great reference, and one of the few books on Angular published in the last several months that won't feel dated when Angular 2.0 is finalized.

PacktPub has another good book on AngularJS, this time regarding showing animations using AngularJS. Richard Keller has done quite a good job describing the basics and some advanced concepts of having animations show up in your AngularJS application.Chapter 1 and 2 talk about animation in general (without AngularJS, i.e.,). Chapter 4 through 7 walk through showing animations in the various built-in and custom AngularJS constructs.I found chapter 8 very interesting which talks about making your application performant using Chrome DevTools.The examples in the book seem quite naive and simple. Making them a little more 'gimmicky' would have impressed me even more.Not to pet-peeve, but the book has a few 'bugs'. In page 82 (epub version) the ngRepeat example is not working. I had to change the code line to 'return a.name < b.name ? -1 : 1' in order to get the snippet to work. Also, the performance.js file is missing in the sample code for chapter 8.https://www.packtpub.com/application-development/learning-angularjs-animations

What is custom duty/charge? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

  • If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
  • Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.
