Just-add-water CSS animation
animate.css
is a bunch of cool, fun, and cross-browser animations for you to use in your projects. Great for emphasis, home pages, sliders, and general just-add-water-awesomeness.
- Include the stylesheet on your document's
<head>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="animate.min.css">
</head>

Add the class
animated

To use animate.css in your website, simply drop the stylesheet into your document's <head>
, and add the class animated
to an element, along with any of the animation names. That's it! You've got a CSS animated element. Super!
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="animate.min.css">
</head>
You can do a whole bunch of other stuff with animate.css when you combine it with jQuery or add your own CSS rules. Dynamically add animations using jQuery with ease:
$('#yourElement').addClass('animated bounceOutLeft');
You can also detect when an animation ends:
$('#yourElement').one('webkitAnimationEnd, mozAnimationEnd, MSAnimationEnd, oanimationend, animationend', doSomething);
View a video tutorial on how to use Animate.css with jQuery here.
Note: jQuery.one()
is used when you want to execute the event handler at most once. More information here.
You can also extend jQuery to add a function that does it all for you:
$.fn.extend({
animateCss: function (animationName) {
var animationEnd = 'webkitAnimationEnd, mozAnimationEnd, MSAnimationEnd, oanimationend, animationend';
this.addClass('animated ' + animationName).one(animationEnd, function() {
$(this).removeClass('animated ' + animationName);
});
return this;
}
});
And use it like this:
$('#yourElement').animateCss('bounce');
You can change the duration of your animations, add a delay or change the number of times that it plays:
#yourElement {
-vendor-animation-duration: 3s;
-vendor-animation-delay: 2s;
-vendor-animation-iteration-count: infinite;
}
Note: be sure to replace "vendor" in the CSS with the applicable vendor prefixes (webkit, moz, etc)
Animate.css is powered by gulp.js, and you can create custom builds pretty easily. First of all, you’ll need Gulp and all other dependencies:
$ cd path/to/animate.css/
$ sudo npm install
Next, run gulp
to compile your custom builds. For example, if you want only some of the “attention seekers”, simply edit the animate-config.json
file to select only the animations you want to use.
"attention_seekers": {
"bounce": true,
"flash": false,
"pulse": false,
"shake": true,
"headShake": true,
"swing": true,
"tada": true,
"wobble": true,
"jello":true
}
