Want to keep your CSS bundle size minimal? You can import only the animation groups or individual effects you actually use!
HTML
<!-- Grouped animation (e.g., ca__BlurIn module) -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="./dist/modules/ca__BlurIn.css" />CSS, SCSS or JavaScript (Webpack, Vite, Rollup)
// Grouped module
@import './dist/modules/ca__BlurIn.css';Check out the ./dist/modules/ folder to see all available animation groups:
| Module | File |
|---|---|
| Blob Animation Group | ./dist/modules/ca__Blob.css |
| Blur In Animation Group | ./dist/modules/ca__BlurIn.css |
| Bounce Animation Group | ./dist/modules/ca__Bounce.css |
| Elastic Animation Group | ./dist/modules/ca__Elastic.css |
| FadeIn Animation Group | ./dist/modules/ca__FadeIn.css |
| ...and more | See ./dist/modules/ folder |
Need just one animation, like fadeIn, bounceX, or zoomIn? You can import individual effect files too.
HTML
<!-- Individual effect (e.g., fadeIn only) -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="./dist/animations/ca__fadeIn.css" />CSS, SCSS or JavaScript (Webpack, Vite, Rollup)
// Individual effect
@import './dist/animations/ca__fadeIn.css';Each file in the ./dist/animations/ folder is a standalone animation with scoped styles and keyframes. Explore and import only what you need!
{css}animation also provides a powerful set of pre-built utility classes to fine-tune your animations. Use them alongside the .cssanimation base class and your chosen animation class.
This includes:
.ca__u-speed*: Control animation speed (e.g.,.ca__u-speedChill)..ca__u-ease*: Set easing functions (e.g.,.ca__u-easeSnappy)..ca__u-loop*: Define repeat settings (e.g.,.ca__u-loopTriple)..ca__u-delay*: Add animation delays (e.g.,.ca__u-delay3).
Check out the full list and details in cssanimation-utilities.md.
By default, {css}animation respects user system preferences. When prefers-reduced-motion: reduce is enabled in a user's operating system settings, animations are automatically turned off for a more comfortable user experience.
