Keyframes are defined using an Array of property Object.
Instance's duration is divided by the number of keyframes of each properties if not
specified.
anime({
targets: 'div',
translateX: [
{ value: 250, duration: 1000, delay: 500, elasticity: 0 },

{ value: 1, duration: 450 },
{ value: 1.75, duration: 50, delay: 1000, easing: 'easeOutExpo' },
{ value: 1, duration: 450 }
});
Specific keyframes properties example
Timeline
Basic timeline
Play animations in sequence by creating a timeline:
var myTimeline = anime.timeline();
A timeline accepts the same parameters as an animation: direction, loop and

autoplay.
var myTimeline = anime.timeline({
direction: 'alternate',
loop: 3,
autoplay: false
});
Add animations to the timeline with .add() :
myTimeline
.add({
targets: '.square',
translateX: 250
})
.add({
targets: '.circle',
translateX: 250
})
.add({
targets: '.triangle',
translateX: 250
});
Access timeline children animations with myTimeline.children
Basic timeline example
Timeline animations offsets
offset defines the starting time of an animation on the timeline.
Relative offset
Defines starting time relative to the previous animations duration.
+= '+=100' Starts 100ms after the previous animation ends
-= '-=100' Starts 100ms before the previous animation ends
*= '*=2' Starts at 2 times the previous animations duration
myTimeline
.add({
targets: '.square',
translateX: 250
})
.add({
targets: '.circle',
translateX: 250,
offset: '-=600' // Starts 600ms before the previous animation ends
})
.add({
translateX: 250,
offset: '-=800' // Starts 800ms before the previous animation ends
});
Relative offset example
Absolute offset
Defines an absolute starting time on the timeline with a number.
myTimeline
.add({
targets: '.square',
translateX: 250,
offset: 1000 // Starts at 1000ms

})
.add({
targets: '.circle',
translateX: 250,
})
.add({
translateX: 250,
});
Absolute offset example
Playback controls
Play, pause, restart, seek animations or timelines.
Play / Pause
var playPauseAnim = anime({
targets: 'div',
translateX: 250,
loop: true,
autoplay: false // prevent the instance from playing

});
playPauseAnim.play(); // Manually playplayPauseAnim.pause(); //

Manually pause
Play / Pause example
Restart
var restartAnim = anime({
targets: 'div',
translateX: 250,
loop: true,
autoplay: false
});
restartAnim.restart(); // Restart the animation and reset the loop count

/ current direction
Restart example
Reverse
var reverseAnim = anime({
targets: 'div',
translateX: 250,
loop: true
});
reverseAnim.reverse(); // Change the animation direction
Reverse example
Seek
Change animations or timelines current time.
var seekAnim = anime({
targets: 'div',
translateX: 250,
delay: function(el, i, l) { return i * 100; },
elasticity: 200,
autoplay: false
});
seekAnim.seek(500); // Set the animation current time to 500ms
Seek example
Callbacks
Execute a function at the beginning, during or when an animation or timeline is
completed.
Names Types Arguments Info
animation
update function Called at time = 0
Object
animation
begin function Called after animation delay is over
Object
animation Called only after all the loops are

complete function
Object completed
Callbacks examples
Update
update() is called on every frame while the instance is playing.
var myAnimation = anime({
targets: '#update .el',
translateX: 250,
delay: 1000,
update: function(anim) {
console.log(anim.currentTime + 'ms'); // Get current animation time

with `myAnimation.currentTime`, return value in ms.
console.log(anim.progress + '%'); // Get current animation progress

with `myAnimation.progress`, return value in %
});
Update example
Begin
begin() is called once after the delay is finished.
targets: '#begin .el',
translateX: 250,
delay: 1000,
begin: function(anim) {
console.log(anim.began); // true after 1000ms
});
Check if the animation has begun with myAnimation.began, return true or false.
Begin example
Run
run() is called every frame after the delay is finished.
targets: '#run .el',
translateX: 250,
delay: 1000,
run: function(anim) {
console.log(anim.currentTime);
});
Run example
Complete
complete() is called once after the animation is finished.

targets: '#complete .el',
translateX: 250,
complete: function(anim) {
console.log(anim.completed);
});
Check if the animation has finished with myAnimation.completed, return true or

false.
Complete example
Promises
myAnimation.finished returns a Promise object which will resolve once the
animation has finished running.
Promises example
SVG
Motion path
Translate and rotate DOM elements along an SVG path:
// Create a path Òbject`var path = anime.path('#motionPath path');
var motionPath = anime({
targets: '#motionPath .el',
translateX: path('x'), // Follow the x values from the path Òbject`

translateY: path('y'), // Follow the y values from the path Òbject`
rotate: path('angle') // Follow the angle values from the path

Òbject`
});
Motion path example
Morphing
Animate the transition between two SVG shapes:
<svg class="shape" width="128" height="128" viewBox="0 0 128 128">
<polygon points="64 68.64 8.574 100 63.446 67.68 64 4 64.554 67.68

119.426 100"></polygon>
</svg>
var svgAttributes = anime({
targets: '.shape polygon',
points: '64 128 8.574 96 8.574 32 64 0 119.426 32 119.426 96'
});
Shapes need to have the same number of points.
