Dependency

This package fixes CSS keyframes support in cssJson and uses it to convert the CSS keyframes to JSON, to be ported into Web Animation API format.

What is this

css2waa will convert a CSS keyframes (string) into a Web Animation API animation object. Web Animation API options should be added separately, since it"s a plain object that requires no conversion.

waa2css will convert a Web Animation API keyframes object, into a CSS keyframes (string). Css timing and options should be added separately when calling the CSS animation.

Sample

const {css2waa, waa2css} = require('./lib/');

/** CSS keyframes to WAA Object **/
const myCssKeyframes = `@keyframes slidein {
  from {
    margin-left:100%;
    width:300%
  }

  50% {
    margin-left:50%;
    width:200%
  }

  to {
    margin-left:0%;
    width:100%;
  }
}`

const WAAOptions = {
    duration: 2000,
    delay: 1000
}

const myWAAAnimation = css2waa(myCssKeyframes);
console.log(myWAAAnimation);

/** Use like this:
 document.getElementById('myId').animate(myWAAAnimation, WAAOptions);
 **/

/** WAA object to CSS keyframes **/

const myWaaAnimation = [
    {
        "offset": 0,
        "margin-left": "100%",
        "width": "300%"
    },
    {
        "offset": 0.5,
        "margin-left": "50%",
        "width": "200%"
    },
    {
        "offset": 1,
        "margin-left": "0%",
        "width": "100%"
    }
]

const myCssKeyframesString = waa2css(myWaaAnimation);
/**
 use in your css - "`@keyframes myKeyframes{${myCssKeyframesString}}`"
 * **/

console.log(myCssKeyframesString);

Above cs2waa() will output the following object:

[
  {
    "offset": 0,
    "margin-left": "100%",
    "width": "300%"
  },
  {
    "offset": 0.5,
    "margin-left": "50%",
    "width": "200%"
  },
  {
    "offset": 1,
    "margin-left": "0%",
    "width": "100%"
  }
]

Above waa2css() will produce the following string:

`0% { offset: 0; margin-left: 100%; width: 300%;}
     50% { offset: 0.5; margin-left: 50%; width: 200%;}
     100% { offset: 1; margin-left: 0%; width: 100%;}`

Options object sample

This object will not be created by this package, but this is a quick reference how to use it. For more info:

CSS animation settings:

.myDiv {
    animation-duration: 3s;
    animation-delay: 2s;
    animation-iteration-count: 3;
    animation-direction: alternate;
}

WAA options object:

{
    delay: 2000,
    duration: 3000,
    iterations: 3,
    direction: alternate
}
