Tweening

A little tweening library.

1.9kb gzipped.

However, you're currently also going to have to bring babel polyfill to the party at an additional 30.8kb gzipped. This is to support Javascript generators which this library makes use of.

Installation

npm install tweening

Usage

import tween from 'tweening';
 
tween({
  duration: 100,
  from: 1,
  to: 1000,
  next: value => console.log( value );
  complete: () => console.log( 'all done' );
});

Tweening can also handle arrays and objects. Even if they're nested. The only requirement is that from and to both need to be of the same structure.

import tween from 'tweening';
 
tween({
  from: { x: 10, y: 100, z: [ 1, 2, 3 ]},
  to: { x: 500, y: 50, z: [ 9, 8, 7 ]},
  next: value => console.log( value );
});

Options

duration

The duration of the tween in milliseconds.

  • default: 200
  • type: number

from

Where you're tweening from.

  • required
  • types:
    • number
    • array (of numbers)
    • object (of number values)
    • any nested combination of the above

to

Where you're tweening to.

  • required
  • types:
    • number
    • array (of numbers)
    • object (of number values)
    • any nested combination of the above

next

A callback that fires at each step of the tween.

The callback is passed the updated value.

Typically this is where you'd update the state / position of an element on your page.

  • type: function

complete

A callback that fires once the tween has completed.

  • type: function

easing

A function that calculates a position given time.

  • default: easeInOutQuad
  • types:
    • string
    • function

Easing functions

Tweening comes with a number of Robert Penner's easing functions baked in, thanks to the tween functions library. You can pass in any of the following strings to the easing option.

  • linear
  • easeInQuad
  • easeOutQuad
  • easeInOutQuad
  • easeInCubic
  • easeOutCubic
  • easeInOutCubic
  • easeInQuart
  • easeOutQuart
  • easeInOutQuart
  • easeInQuint
  • easeOutQuint
  • easeInOutQuint
  • easeInSine
  • easeOutSine
  • easeInOutSine
  • easeInExpo
  • easeOutExpo
  • easeInOutExpo
  • easeInCirc
  • easeOutCirc
  • easeInOutCirc
  • easeInElastic
  • easeOutElastic
  • easeInOutElastic
  • easeInBack
  • easeOutBack
  • easeInOutBack
  • easeInBounce
  • easeOutBounce
  • easeInOutBounce

The easing option also allows you to pass in an easing function of your own. It should return the current position given:

  • t: milliseconds since tween started
  • b: start position
  • e: desired end position
  • d: duration of tween in milliseconds
f( t, b, e, d )
