CSS3 Animation

CSS3 animations can animate transitions from one CSS style configuration to another. The two components of animation are as follows:

An animation style describes the animation.
Keyframes define the initial and final states of a CSS animation, along with any intermediate waypoints that may be included.

The three advantages of CSS3 animations over script-based animation techniques are as follows:

Easy to use and anybody can create them without knowledge of JavaScript.
Executes well even under reasonable system loads. As simple animations perform poorly in JavaScript, the rendering engine uses frame-skipping techniques to allow smooth animation flow.
Allows the browser to control the animation sequence, and optimize performance and efficiency by reducing the update frequency of animations executed in tabs that aren't visible.

Configuring the animation.

A CSS animation sequence can be created by styling the element with the animation property. This property allows you to set the timing, duration, and order of the animation. The @keyframes rule defines the appearance of animation. The keyframe is used to describe the rendering of the element in the animation sequence.

Lists the @keyframes rule and all the animation properties.

@keyframes: Is used for specifying the animation
animation: The animation shorthand property is used to configure multiple aspects of animation in CSS, covering all animation properties except for animation-play-state.
animation-name: This is used for specifying the name of the @keyframes animation
animation-duration: The animation-duration property is used to specify the length of time an animation cycle takes to complete, measured in seconds or milliseconds. The default value is 0
animation-timing-function: This is used for describing the progress of animation over one cycle of its duration. The default value is 'ease'
animation-delay: This is used for specifying the start value of animation. The default value is 0
animation-iteration-Count: This is used for specifying the number of times an animation is played. The default value is 1
animation-direction: This is used for specifying whether or not the animation should play in reverse on alternate cycles. The default value is 'normal'.
animation-play-state: This is used for specifying the state of the animation, that is whether it is running or paused. The default value is 'running'

The syntax for @keyframes is as follows:

@keyframes anime_name

{

from {background: green;}

to {background: yellow;}

}

@-moz-keyframes anime_name /* Firefox */

{

from {background: green;}

to {background: yellow;}

}

@-webkit-keyframes anime_name /* Safari and Chrome */

{

from {background: green;}

to {background: yellow;}

}
