Unlocking Smooth Transitions with Animate CSS Grid

What is CSS Grid?

CSS Grid is a layout system that allows you to create two-dimensional grids using rows and columns. It’s perfect for designing web pages without relying on floats and positioning.

Is it Possible to Animate a CSS Grid Layout?

Until recently, animating CSS Grid properties was a challenge due to lack of browser support. However, with the latest updates, most CSS Grid properties can now be animated.

How Does Animate CSS Grid Work?

Animate CSS Grid is a simple yet powerful package that allows you to transition between different grid states smoothly. When you wrap your grid container with the animateCSSGrid.wrapGrid() method, the package automatically handles the animation for you.

const gridContainer = document.getElementById('grid-container');
animateCSSGrid.wrapGrid(gridContainer);

Building a Project with Animate CSS Grid

To demonstrate the power of Animate CSS Grid, let’s build a simple project using vanilla JavaScript. We’ll create a grid layout with three buttons that toggle different grid properties.

Importing Animate CSS Grid and Wrapping the Container

To use Animate CSS Grid, we’ll import the package via a script tag and wrap our grid container with the animateCSSGrid.wrapGrid() method.

<script src="undefinedexample.com/animate-css-grid.js"></script>

import animateCSSGrid from 'animate-css-grid';
const gridContainer = document.getElementById('grid-container');
animateCSSGrid.wrapGrid(gridContainer);

Configuring Animate CSS Grid

Animate CSS Grid provides several configuration options, including stagger, duration, easing, onStart, and onEnd. We’ll explore these options and demonstrate how to customize the animation.

• stagger: The delay between each animation
• duration: The length of the animation
• easing: The easing function used for the animation
• onStart: A callback function called when the animation starts
• onEnd: A callback function called when the animation ends

const config = {
  stagger: 100,
  duration: 500,
  easing: 'ease-in-out',
  onStart: () => console.log('Animation started'),
  onEnd: () => console.log('Animation ended')
};
animateCSSGrid.configure(config);
