Animations

Bootstrap animations

Bootstrap animations are illusions of motions for web elements. +70 animations generated by CSS only, work properly on every browser.

Step 3 (additionally): You may also want to include slow, fast or delay classes or the infinite class for an infinite loop.

Select an option

Add one of the following classes:

.fast
.faster
.slow
.slower
.delay-1s
.delay-2s
.delay-3s
.delay-4s
.delay-5s
.infinite

Advanced usage

You can do a whole bunch of other stuff with animations when you combine it with jQuery or add your own CSS rules.

1. Dynamically add animations using jQuery with ease:

JavaScript


        $('#yourElement').addClass('animated bounceOutLeft');

2. You can also detect when an animation ends:

JavaScript


        $('#yourElement').one('webkitAnimationEnd mozAnimationEnd MSAnimationEnd oanimationend animationend', doSomething);

Note: jQuery.one() is used when you want to execute the event handler at most once. More information here.

3. You can also extend jQuery to add a function that does it all for you:


        #yourElement {
          -vendor-animation-duration: 3s;
          -vendor-animation-delay: 2s;
          -vendor-animation-iteration-count: infinite;
        }

Note: be sure to replace "vendor" in the CSS with the applicable vendor prefixes (webkit, moz, etc).

Reveal Animations When Scrolling

Thanks to MDB you can easily launch an animation on page scroll.

Basic usage

Step 1: Initialize script for animations on a scroll.

JavaScript


        new WOW().init();

Step 2: Add the CSS class .wow to a HTML element: it will be invisible until the user scrolls to reveal it.

HTML


        <img src="..." class="wow">

Step 3: Pick an animation style from the list of animations , then add the CSS class to the HTML element.

HTML


        <img src="..." class="wow fadeInUp">

Adding multiple animations via jQuery

If you want to use the same animation trough the entire page, you can use jQuery addClass() to make it at once.

JavaScript


        $( ".wow" ).addClass( "fadeInUp" );

visibility: hidden;

Add visibility: hidden to the wow if you want to animate the element which is visible immediately after page load. Thanks to that you avoid reloading the content after javascript load.


        .wow {
          visibility: hidden;
        }

Options

Use one of the custom attributes below to change the behavior of the animations on a scroll.

data-wow-duration: Change the animation duration
data-wow-delay: Delay before the animation starts
data-wow-offset: Distance to start the animation (related to the browser bottom)
data-wow-iteration: Number of times the animation will be repeated

HTML


        <img src="..." class="wow fadeInUp" data-wow-delay="0.6s">

Customize Settings

boxClass: Class name that reveals the hidden box when user scrolls
animateClass: Class name that triggers the CSS animations
offset: Define the distance between the bottom of browser viewport and the top of the hidden box. When the user scrolls and reaches this distance, the hidden box is revealed.
mobile: Turn on/off animations on mobile devices.
live: constantly check for new animated elements on the page

JavaScript


        wow = new WOW({
            boxClass: 'wow', // default
            animateClass: 'animated', // default
            offset: 0, // default
            mobile: true, // default
            live: true // default
        })
        wow.init();

    'none' means 'this component doesn't require anything except core files'

    A file wrapped by `< >` means that this file make the base component prettier but it isn't necessary for the proper working
