jQuery Transit
Super-smooth CSS3 transformations and transitions for jQuery
jQuery Transit is a plugin for to help you do CSS transformations and
transitions in jQuery.
Refer to the jQuery Transit website for
examples.
Usage
Just include jquery.transit.js after jQuery. Requires jQuery 1.4+.
<script src='jquery.js'></script>
<script src='jquery.transit.js'></script>
It is also available via bower and npm.
$ bower install --save jquery.transit
$ npm install --save jquery.transit
Transformations
You can set transformations as you would any CSS property in jQuery.
(Note that you cannot $.fn.animate() them, only set them.)
$("#box").css({ x: '30px' }); // Move right
$("#box").css({ y: '60px' }); // Move down
$("#box").css({ translate: [60,30] }); // Move right and down
$("#box").css({ rotate: '30deg' }); // Rotate clockwise
$("#box").css({ scale: 2 }); // Scale up 2x (200%)
$("#box").css({ scale: [2, 1.5] }); // Scale horiz and vertical
$("#box").css({ skewX: '30deg' }); // Skew horizontally
$("#box").css({ skewY: '30deg' }); // Skew vertical
$("#box").css({ perspective: 100, rotateX: 30 }); // Webkit 3d rotation
$("#box").css({ rotateY: 30 });
$("#box").css({ rotate3d: [1, 1, 0, 45] });
Relative values are supported.
$("#box").css({ rotate: '+=30' }); // 30 degrees more
$("#box").css({ rotate: '-=30' }); // 30 degrees less
All units are optional.
$("#box").css({ x: '30px' });
$("#box").css({ x: 30 });
Multiple arguments can be commas or an array.
$("#box").css({ translate: [60,30] });
$("#box").css({ translate: ['60px','30px'] });
$("#box").css({ translate: '60px,30px' });
Getters are supported. (Getting properties with multiple arguments returns
arrays.)
$("#box").css('rotate'); //=> "30deg"
$("#box").css('translate'); //=> ['60px', '30px']
Animating - $.fn.transition
$('...').transition(options, [duration], [easing], [complete])
You can animate with CSS3 transitions using $.fn.transition(). It works
exactly like $.fn.animate(), except it uses CSS3 transitions.
$("#box").transition({ opacity: 0.1, scale: 0.3 });
$("#box").transition({ opacity: 0.1, scale: 0.3 }, 500); // duration
$("#box").transition({ opacity: 0.1, scale: 0.3 }, 'fast'); // easing
$("#box").transition({ opacity: 0.1, scale: 0.3 }, 500, 'in'); // duration+easing
$("#box").transition({ opacity: 0.1, scale: 0.3 }, function() {..}); // callback
$("#box").transition({ opacity: 0.1, scale: 0.3 }, 500, 'in', function() {..}); // everything
You can also pass duration and easing and complete as values in options, just like in $.fn.animate().
$("#box").transition({
opacity: 0.1, scale: 0.3,
duration: 500,
easing: 'in',
complete: function() { /* ... */ }
});
Tests
Transit has a unique test suite. Open test/index.html to see it. When
contibuting fixes, be sure to test this out with different jQuery versions and
different browsers.
Alternatives
Velocity.js (recommended!)
- Pros: optimized for situations with hundreds of simultaneous transitions. Lots of extra features.
- Pros: no jQuery dependency, great syntax.
- Cons (at time of writing): no iOS support (doesn't use
translate3d), some
IE bugs, no 3D transforms, no animation queue.
- Pros: transparently overrides
$.fn.animate()to provide CSS transitions
support. - Cons: transparently overrides
$.fn.animate(). No transformations support.
- Pros: Tons of transformations.
- Cons: No CSS transition support; animates via
fx.step.
- Pros: simply provides rotation.
- Cons: simply provides rotation. No transitions support.
