Unlock the Power of Animations in Svelte
Svelte offers a unique advantage when it comes to working with animations – you don’t need to download any extra packages! Animations and transitions come built-in, allowing you to add powerful and delightful interactions to your applications without increasing their size. This not only boosts the speed and performance of your application but also makes it more engaging for users.
Getting Started with Svelte
To get started, simply install the sveltejs package using the following code:
Transitions in Svelte
Svelte provides seven built-in transition functions: fade, blur, fly, slide, scale, draw, and crossfade. These functions can be imported from the svelte/transition module and used to add transitions to your elements. Let’s take a look at how to add a transition to an image carousel:
In and Out Transitions
When working with transitions in Svelte, you can define separate transition functions for the in and out transitions of elements. This allows for more flexibility and control over the animation process. Let’s implement in and out transitions in another demo:
Custom Transitions
If you want to define custom transitions, you can do so in Svelte. Under the hood, each transition is a function that gets a node and a parameter. Let’s see how to create a custom transition:
Animations in Svelte
Svelte provides a flip animation function that can be accessed from the svelte/animate module. The animate directive is used when you want to add animations to a list of items that are being reordered. Let’s see how to make flip animations:
Controlling Element Motions in Svelte
The svelte/motion module exports two functions, tweened and spring, for creating writable stores whose values change over time after set and update, rather than immediately. Let’s set up a demo to see how motions work:
Transitions and Animations in SvelteKit
Transitions and animations work the same way in SvelteKit as in Svelte. Let’s set up an animation in SvelteKit:
The Power of Subtle Animations
Adding subtle animations and transition effects is a great way to keep visitors engaged with your content. When done correctly, animations make your website or app more compelling, and they can help drive user engagement. Svelte’s built-in animations, transitions, motions, and easings make it easy to get started.
