animejs interop with Blazor

Introduction

This is a Blazor library that wraps animejs. You can use the library in both client- and server-side projects. See the Getting Started, browse the samples for help.

Getting started

Installation

There's a NuGet package available: anime.Blazor

In case you prefer the command line:

Install-Package anime.Blazor

Usage

Assets

Before you can start creating an animation, you have to add some static assets to your project. These come bundled with anime.Blazor, so you only need to add a few lines to your Index.html/_Host.cshtml.

In your _Host.cshtml (server-side) or in your index.html (client-side) add the following lines to the body tag after the _framework reference

<!-- Reference the animeBlazor.js javascript file. -->
<script src="_content/anime.Blazor/animeBlazor.js"></script>

Imports

Now add a reference to anime.Blazor in your _Imports.razor

@using anime.Blazor;

Usage example

// Create an instance of `Animation` class with a unique Id
Animation animation = new Animation(1);

// specifies the targets to animate
animation.Targets = new object[] { ".any-css-selector .el1" };

// sets the value for the needed the parameters,
// through setting available properties, like:
animation.Direction = Direction.reverse;
animation.Autoplay = true;
animation.Loop = 5;

// or
animation.AdditionalParameters = new Dictionary<string, object>
{
  { "translateX", 250 },
  { "delay", 500 },
  { "backgroundColor", "#4266f5"},
};

//for more info about the parameters see the original documintation of animejs library

// then call AnimateAsync with an instance of `Microsoft.JSInterop.IJSRuntime` to start the animation
await animation.AnimateAsync(JSRuntime);

// if the Autoplay was set to false you can call `PlayAsync` to start the animation
await animation.PlayAsync(JSRuntime);

// to pause an animation call `PauseAsync`
await animation.PauseAsync(JSRuntime);

// to reverse an animation call `ReverseAsync`
await animation.ReverseAsync(JSRuntime);

// to remove a target from an animation call `RemoveAsync`
await animation.RemoveAsync(JSRuntime, ".any-css-selector .el");
