Ensure Animation

A simple JS module to ensure a CSS animation plays continuously through to the end animation frame.

See the Demo

Use Cases

Continue playing loading animation until a:

• Lazy loaded image is loaded
• User has clicked on a notification
• "Load more" ajax request has been completed
• Chain multiple animations to fire sequentially

Install

npm install ensure-animation --save

Usage

Given the following markup:

<figure>
  <img src="large-image.jpg" class="hero lazyload">
  <div class="preloader" data-ensure-target=".hero" data-ensure-until=".lazyloaded" data-ensure-finish-class="fade-in"></div>
</figure>

Import EnsureAnimation for use in your JS:

import EnsureAnimation from 'ensure-animation'
new EnsureAnimation('.preloader')

Get instances

const preloaders = new EnsureAnimation('.preloaders')

Stop single instance

const preload = new EnsureAnimation('.preloader')[0]
preload.finish()

Restart the animation

preload.restart()

Stop all instances

const preloaders = new EnsureAnimation('.preloader')
preloaders.each((preloader) => preloader.finish())

Custom Options

Options can be passed directly to an instance using data attributes on the node itself, or by passing in an object of values.

<figure>
  <img src="large-image.jpg" class="hero lazyload">
  <div data-ensure-target=".hero"
       data-ensure-until=".lazyloaded"
       data-ensure-finish-class="fade-in"
       class="preloader"></div>
</figure>

And

const preloaders = new EnsureAnimation('.preloader', {
  // target to watch for class to be applied
  target : '.hero-image'

  // targets' class signaling animation should finish
  until : 'has-been-loaded',

  // target received this class upon finished animation,
  finishClass : 'custom-finished-class'
})
