Elevate Your Web Animations with Trig.js: Introducing Version 4 and Trig-Animations.css
Animations breathe life into web interfaces, enhancing user engagement and experience. Yet, implementing scroll-based animations can often be cumbersome and performance-intensive. Enter Trig.js, a lightweight JavaScript library designed to simplify the creation of CSS scroll animations.
What's New in Version 4?
With the release of version 4, Trig.js introduces Trig-Animations.css, a collection of predefined, configurable scroll animations. This addition allows developers to quickly integrate animations without delving deep into custom configurations, streamlining the development process.
Key Features In Update:
-
Customizable Animations: Utilize CSS variables such as
--trig-delay,--trig-duration,--trig-blend, and--trig-directionto fine-tune animation behavior and timing. For instance:
<div class="trig-fade enable-trig" style="--trig-delay: 2s; --trig-duration: 10s; --trig-blend: ease-in-out; --trig-direction: reverse forwards;">
<span class="trig-target">.trig-fade</span>
</div>
-
Performance Optimizations: Trig.js employs efficient scroll event handling, leveraging
IntersectionObserverandrequestAnimationFrameto ensure smooth animations without compromising performance.
