CSS animations allow you to create dynamic visual effects on web pages. Here's a quick guide to get started:

📌 Basics of CSS Animations

  • @keyframes defines the animation sequence
    @keyframes example {
      0% { transform: scale(1); }
      100% { transform: scale(1.5); }
    }
    
  • animation property applies the animation to elements
    .box {
      animation: example 2s infinite;
    }
    

🔄 Key Concepts

  • Duration (animation-duration)
  • Timing Function (animation-timing-function)
  • Delay (animation-delay)
  • Iteration Count (animation-iteration-count)
  • Direction (animation-direction)

📈 Example: Bouncing Box

<div class="box"></div>
.box {
  width: 100px;
  height: 100px;
  background: #3498db;
  margin: 50px auto;
  animation: bounce 1.5s ease-in-out infinite;
}

@keyframes bounce {
  0% { transform: translateY(0); }
  50% { transform: translateY(-20px); }
  100% { transform: translateY(0); }
}

🚀 Advanced Techniques

  • Use transform for complex movements
    CSS Transform
  • Combine with opacity for fade effects
  • Apply animation-fill-mode for state control
