Compass Ceaser CSS Easing Transitions

A compass extension based on ceasar css easing animation tool by @matthewlein This extension provides transitions based on the classic Penner equations from Flash and jQuery.

Installation

Install gem from the command line:

gem install ceaser-easing

Adding Ceaser Easing to an existing project:

# Edit the project configuration file and add:
require 'ceaser-easing'

#import ceaser-easing into your sass/scss file
@import "ceaser-easing"

Create a new project using Ceaser Easing

compass create project_name -r ceaser-easing -u ceaser-easing

#import ceaser-easing into your sass/scss file
@import "ceaser-easing"

Using Ceaser Easing

The ceaser easing extension provides a sass function called ceaser. You use the function as a value for a transition or animation timing-function property. You pass what type of easing you would like to the function and it will apply the correct cubic-bezier transition timing function for you.

The ceaser easing function

#transition {
  transition-property: all;
  transition-duration: 1.2s;
  transition-timing-function: ceaser($ease-in);
}

#transition-shorthand {
  transition: all 1.2s ceaser($ease-in);
}


#animation {
  animation-name: animateMe;
  animation-iteration-count: infinite;
  animation-duration: 10s;
  animation-timing-function: ceaser($easeInSine);
}

#animation-shorthand {
  animation: animateMe 10s ceaser($easeInSine) infinite

}

Ease Types

Here is a list of all the available easing types to choose from, you can see an example of each on the original demo page

$linear
$ease (default)
$ease-in
$ease-out
$ease-in-out

$easeInQuad
$easeInCubic
$easeInQuart
$easeInQuint
$easeInSine
$easeInExpo
$easeInCirc
$easeInBack

$easeOutQuad
$easeOutCubic
$easeOutQuart
$easeOutQuint
$easeOutSine
$easeOutExpo
$easeOutCirc
$easeOutBack

$easeInOutQuad
$easeInOutCubic
$easeInOutQuart
$easeInOutQuint
$easeInOutSine
$easeInOutExpo
$easeInOutCirc
$easeInOutBack

The ceaser easing mixin

The ceaser easing extension provides a mixin called ceaser. You pass what type of easing you would like to the mixin and it will apply the correct cubic-bezier transition timing function for you. You can then pass the transition property (defaults to all), the transition duration (defaults to 500ms), and the transition delay (defaults to 0).

# The ceaser easing mixin with its argument descriptions
@mixin ceaser-transition(transition property, duration, ease type, delay)

# Example mixin call that will create a 3 second transition with the ease type of ease-in
@include ceaser-transition(all, 3s, $ease-in)

# Example mixin call that will create a 500 milliseconds transition on only the width property with a delay of 1 second
@include ceaser-transition(width, 500ms, $easeInOutExpo, 1s)

As an example, here is how create the above transition for an html element with id of box.

#box {
    width: 500px;
    @include ceaser-transition(width, 500ms, $easeInOutExpo, 1s);
}

#box:hover {
    width: 700px;
}

Legacy Support

In this new version of ceaser-easing easing types have move to sass variables instead of using strings. Below is a comparison of the old and new syntax:

.old-syntax {
  transition-property: all;
  transition-duration: 1.2s;
  transition-timing-function: ceaser("ease-in");
}

.new-syntax {
  transition-property: all;
  transition-duration: 1.2s;
  transition-timing-function: ceaser($ease-in);
}

For legacy purpose for this update you can use the old syntax but have to be sure enable legacy support by setting the ceaser-legacy variable to true like this:

#Legacy Variable
$ceaser-legacy: true
