<helium-animated-pages>

Docs/Demo

This is a light spiritual successor to the now deprecated <neon-animated-pages>.

It works with CSS animations and only depends on lit. So, you don't have to worry about including any heavy JS libraries.

This component takes care of the logic behind triggering the animations so that you can focus on making your views and your animations. Alternatively, you can use the animations included in the sample-animations folder. 😉

To begin using it follow these simple steps:

• Install it:

  npm i --save helium-animated-pages

• Import the script:

  In html:

  <!-- type="module" is essential -->
  <script type="module" src="node_modules/helium-animated-pages"></script>
  

  In a js module:

  import 'helium-animated-pages';
  

• Create an instance of <helium-animated-pages> in your HTML page. You can also use any framework that supports rendering Custom Elements.

  <style>
    /*
      Define your animation keyframes and classes
        in the same context that contains
        <helium-animated-pages>.
      You can also use the provided sample animations.
    */
    /*
      The sample code here only uses a simple
        fade animation to keep the code short.
    */
    .page-fadeIn {
      animation: fadeIn 0.7s ease both;
    }
    @keyframes fadeIn {
      from {
        opacity: 0.3;
      }
      to {
      }
    }
    .page-fadeOut {
      animation: fadeOut 0.7s ease both;
    }
    @keyframes fadeOut {
      from {
      }
      to {
        opacity: 0;
      }
    }
  </style>
  <section>
    <h2>Select a page</h2>
    <select id="selector">
      <option value="page1">Page 1</option>
      <option value="page2">Page 2</option>
      <option value="page3">Page 3</option>
    </select>
  </section>
  <!--
    Use attrForSelected to define which attribute will
      act as the identifier for the pages.
    You can also opt to not use it and use numerical indexes instead.

  <helium-animated-pages id="pages" attrForSelected="name">
    <!-- The pages can be almost anything -->
    <section name="page1">Page 1</section>

    <custom-element name="page3"></custom-element>
  </helium-animated-pages>

      Here's a sample way of switching pages.
      You can use a router to do this switching.
    */
    document.querySelector('#selector').addEventListener('change', e => {
      // Switch pages; you can use the numerical index too.
      document.querySelector('#pages').selected = e.target.value;
    });
    /*

        should be applied on the different page transitions.

      I'm using CSS classes that aren't actually defined in
        this context for illustrative purposes.
      You must define every class that you want to use.

    document.querySelector('#pages').animationClasses = {
      /*
        The animation classes rules are like CSS rules:
          the most specific ones apply first.
      */

      page1_page2: {
        in: 'page_moveFromRight',
        out: 'page_moveToLeft',

      _page1: {
        in: 'page_moveFromBottom',
        out: 'page_moveToTop',
      },
      // fallback in case none of the rules above apply
      default: {
        in: 'page-fadeIn',
        out: 'page-fadeOut',
      },
    };
