[![Open Bundle](https://bundlejs.com/badge-light.svg)](https://bundlejs.com/?q=postcss-spring-easing&bundle "Check the total bundle size of postcss-spring-easing with whichever animation library you choose.")

Want your CSS animations to bounce and boogie 🕺 ? You've come to the right place! 

This PostCSS plugin gives your CSS the superpower to create "spring" animations, bringing your websites to life! Inspired by [postcss-easings](https://github.com/postcss/postcss-easings), it replaces `spring()` functions with a `linear()` easing function.

Here's a glimpse of how you can use it in your CSS:

```css

.snake {

  transition: all var(--spring-duration) spring-out;

}

.camel {

  transition: all var(--spring-duration) springOut;

}

```

And here's what it looks like once `postcss-spring-easing` works its magic:

```css

.snake {

  --spring-duration: 1333.33ms; 

  transition: all var(--spring-duration) linear(0, -0.003 24.3%, 0.025 43.2%, 0.024, 0.004 54.1%, -0.016 56.8%, -0.132 67.6%, -0.155, -0.163, -0.149, -0.107, -0.029, 0.086, 0.239 86.5%, 0.801 94.6%, 0.943, 1); 

} 

.camel {

  --spring-duration: 1333.33ms; 

  transition: all var(--spring-duration) linear(0, -0.003 24.3%, 0.025 43.2%, 0.024, 0.004 54.1%, -0.016 56.8%, -0.132 67.6%, -0.155, -0.163, -0.149, -0.107, -0.029, 0.086, 0.239 86.5%, 0.801 94.6%, 0.943, 1); 

}

```

> _**Note**: all the easings [spring-easing](https://github.com/okikio/spring-easing) supports `postcss-spring-easing` supports as well._

## Why use postcss-spring-easing? 🤔

CSS is great for designing your websites, including adding animations. But there are certain animation types, like a "spring" animation (imagine a bouncy ball), which CSS alone can't pull off.

> **Fun fact**: "spring" animations are how Apple is able to create smooth animations for the iPhone. 



> _Check out more examples on [Codepen](https://codepen.io/okikio/pen/MWEMEgJ)._

`postcss-spring-easing` comes to your rescue! It's a plugin for PostCSS, which enhances the capabilities of your CSS. This plugin helps you craft spring animations effortlessly.

In a nutshell, `postcss-spring-easing` is a simple and effective tool for creating bouncy animations with minimum fuss, making your web pages more dynamic and fun.

Let's get coding! 🚀

## Installation

```bash

npm install postcss-spring-easing

```

  Others

```bash

yarn add postcss-spring-easing

```

or

```bash

pnpm install postcss-spring-easing

```

## Setting up PostCSS

To use this plugin, you need to have PostCSS set up in your project. If you haven't already, follow these steps:

First, install PostCSS:

```bash

npm install postcss

```

  Others

```bash

yarn add postcss

```

or

```bash

pnpm install postcss

```

Check your project for an existing PostCSS config: `postcss.config.js` in the project root,`"postcss"` section in the `package.json` or `postcss` in your bundle config.

Add the plugin to plugins list:

```diff

module.exports = {

  plugins: [

+   require('postcss-spring-easing').default,

    require('autoprefixer')

  ]

}

```

Or

```ts

// dependencies

var fs = require("fs")

var postcss = require("postcss")

var { springEasingPlugin } = require("postcss-spring-easing")

// css to be processed

var css = fs.readFileSync("input.css", "utf8")

// process css

var output = postcss()

  .use(springEasingPlugin())

  .process(css)

  .css

```

Checkout [tests](./tests/) for more examples.

## Usage

To create a spring animation, you just need to write your CSS transitions as usual, but replace the timing function with one of the following:

* `spring`

* `spring-in` 

* `spring-out` 

* `spring-in-out` 

* `spring-out-in` 

Each of these represents a different type of spring effect.

For example:

```css

.box {

  transition: transform 1s spring-out;

}

```

This will give a spring effect to the transform transition of the `.box` element.

The `spring-out` function here means that the animation will start slowly and end quickly, like a spring being released. Similarly, `spring-in` would start quickly and end slowly, and `spring-in-out` would start and end slowly with a quick middle, resembling the movement of a bouncing spring.

Now your animations are ready to bounce!

## Options

`postcss-spring-easing` has 4 options they are 

* `easing` (all the easings from [EasingFunctions](https://spring-easing.okikio.dev/types/typecsseasingoptions) are supported), 

* `easings` (list of extra custom easings to support),

* `decimal` (the number of decimal places of the resulting values), and

* `quality` (how detailed/smooth the spring easing should be)

| Properties  | Default Value           |

| ----------- | ----------------------- |

| `easing`    | `spring(1, 100, 10, 0)` |

| `easings`   | `{}`                    |

| `decimal`   | `3`                     |

| `quality`   | `0.85`                  |

### `easing`

By default, spring easings are supported in the form,

| constant | accelerate         | decelerate | accelerate-decelerate | decelerate-accelerate |

| :------- | :----------------- | :--------- | :-------------------- | :-------------------- |

|          | spring / spring-in | spring-out | spring-in-out         | spring-out-in         |

All **Spring** easing's can be configured using theses parameters,

`spring-*(mass, stiffness, damping, velocity)`

Each parameter comes with these defaults

| Parameter | Default Value |

| --------- | ------------- |

| mass      | `1`           |

| stiffness | `100`         |

| damping   | `10`          |

| velocity  | `0`           |

To understand what each of the parameters of `SpringEasing` mean and how they work I suggest looking through the [SpringEasing API Documentation](https://spring-easing.okikio.dev/functions/springeasing)

For a full understanding of what is happening in the `SpringEasing` library, pleace check out its [API site](https://spring-easing.okikio.dev/modules) for detailed API documentation.

```css

a {

  transition: all var(--spring-duration) spring(1, 100, 10, 0);

}

```

### `easings`

Allow to set custom easings:

```js

require('postcss-spring-easing').default({

  easings: { 

    bounceOut: t => {

      let pow2, b = 4;

      while (t < ((pow2 = Math.pow(2, --b)) - 1) / 11) { }

      return 1 / Math.pow(4, 3 - b) - 7.5625 * Math.pow((pow2 * 3 - 2) / 22 - t, 2);

    },

  }

})

```

The plugin will convert custom easing name between camelCase and snake-case.

So the example above would work for `bounce-out` and `bounceOut` easings.

## Browser Support

| Chrome | Edge | Firefox | Safari | IE  |

| ------ | ---- | ------- | ------ | --- |

| 113+   | 113+ | 112+    | -      | -   |

`postcss-spring-easing` is meant for browsers which have support for the `linear()` easing function, which as of right now is `Chrome & Edge 113` + `Firefox 112`, `Safari` doesn't support it yet.
