Incorporating elastic ease in CSS animations
Blog post from LogRocket
The text discusses the concept of elastic ease in CSS animations and offers various methods to achieve it, including JavaScript libraries, pure CSS, and a custom CSS elastic ease generator. Elastic ease refers to a motion where an object overshoots its target and then oscillates back and forth until settling. While JavaScript libraries like GreenSock provide built-in solutions for elastic easing, they can increase loading times and bundle sizes. Alternatively, CSS methods such as using the cubic-bezier function or defining keyframes manually can achieve similar effects, though they may require complex calculations. The author has created a CSS elastic ease generator that automates the creation of keyframes, allowing developers to customize animations easily by adjusting parameters like steps, deceleration, and velocity. The generator outputs clean CSS code that can be used to add elasticity to various properties in web animations.
