The KeyframeEffect()
constructor of the Web Animations API returns a new KeyframeEffect
object instance, and also allows you to clone an existing keyframe effect object instance.
new KeyframeEffect(target, keyframes)
new KeyframeEffect(target, keyframes, options)
new KeyframeEffect(sourceKeyFrames)
Parameters
The multi-argument constructor (see above) creates a completely new KeyframeEffect
object instance. Its parameters are:
target
The DOM element to be animated, or null
.
keyframes
A keyframes object or null
.
options
Optional
Either an integer representing the animation's duration (in milliseconds), or an object containing one or more of the following:
delay
Optional
The number of milliseconds to delay the start of the animation. Defaults to 0.
direction
Optional
Whether the animation runs forwards (normal
), backwards (reverse
), switches direction after each iteration (alternate
), or runs backwards and switches direction after each iteration (alternate-reverse
). Defaults to "normal"
.
duration
Optional
The number of milliseconds each iteration of the animation takes to complete. Defaults to 0. Although this is technically optional, keep in mind that your animation will not run if this value is 0.
easing
Optional
The rate of the animation's change over time. Accepts an <easing-function>
, such as "linear"
, "ease-in"
, "step-end"
, or "cubic-bezier(0.42, 0, 0.58, 1)"
. Defaults to "linear"
.
endDelay
Optional
The number of milliseconds to delay after the end of an animation. This is primarily of use when sequencing animations based on the end time of another animation. Defaults to 0.
fill
Optional
Dictates whether the animation's effects should be reflected by the element(s) prior to playing ("backwards"
), retained after the animation has completed playing ("forwards"
), or both
. Defaults to "none"
.
iterationStart
Optional
Describes at what point in the iteration the animation should start. 0.5 would indicate starting halfway through the first iteration for example, and with this value set, an animation with 2 iterations would end halfway through a third iteration. Defaults to 0.0.
iterations
Optional
The number of times the animation should repeat. Defaults to 1
, and can also take a value of Infinity
to make it repeat for as long as the element exists.
composite
Optional
Determines how values are combined between this animation and other, separate animations that do not specify their own specific composite operation. Defaults to replace
.
add
dictates an additive effect, where each successive iteration builds on the last. For instance with transform
, a translateX(-200px)
would not override an earlier rotate(20deg)
value but result in translateX(-200px) rotate(20deg)
.accumulate
is similar but a little smarter: blur(2)
and blur(5)
become blur(7)
, not blur(2) blur(5)
.replace
overwrites the previous value with the new one.iterationComposite
Optional
Determines how values build from iteration to iteration in this animation. Can be set to accumulate
or replace
(see above). Defaults to replace
.
pseudoElement
Optional
A string
containing a pseudo-element
selector, such as "::before"
. If present, the effect is applied to the selected pseudo-element of target
, rather than to target
itself.
The single argument constructor (see above) creates a clone of an existing KeyframeEffect
object instance. Its parameter is as follows:
sourceKeyFrames
A KeyframeEffect
object that you want to clone.
In the following example, the KeyframeEffect constructor is used to create a set of keyframes that dictate how the emoji should roll on the floor:
const emoji = document.querySelector("div"); // element to animate
const rollingKeyframes = new KeyframeEffect(
emoji,
[
{ transform: "translateX(0) rotate(0)" }, // keyframe
{ transform: "translateX(200px) rotate(1.3turn)" }, // keyframe
],
{
// keyframe options
duration: 2000,
direction: "alternate",
easing: "ease-in-out",
iterations: "Infinity",
},
);
const rollingAnimation = new Animation(rollingKeyframes, document.timeline);
rollingAnimation.play();
body {
box-shadow: 0 5px 5px pink;
}
div {
width: fit-content;
margin-left: calc(50% - 132px);
font-size: 64px;
user-select: none;
margin-top: 1rem;
}
