CSS animation-timing-function Property

Description

The animation-timing-function CSS property specifies the speed curve of an animation. The speed curve defines how the animation progresses through the duration of each cycle. It is used to make the changes smoothly and create different effects, such as easing in, easing out, or easing in and out.

Initial value

ease

Applies to

All elements, :before and :after pseudo elements

Inherited

No

Computed value

As specified

Animatable

No

JavaScript syntax

object.style.animationTimingFunction

Interactive Demo

animation-timing-function: linear;

animation-timing-function: ease-out;

animation-timing-function: steps(5, end);

animation-timing-function: cubic-bezier(0.1, -0.6, 0.2, 0);

Syntax

animation-timing-function: <single-timing-function> [ ',' <single-timing-function> ]* 

Values

• easeThe ease function is equivalent to cubic-bezier(0.25, 0.1, 0.25, 1).
• linearThe linear function is equivalent to cubic-bezier(0, 0, 1, 1).
• ease-inThe ease-in function is equivalent to cubic-bezier(0.42, 0, 1, 1).
• ease-outThe ease-out function is equivalent to cubic-bezier(0, 0, 0.58, 1).
• ease-in-outThe ease-in-out function is equivalent to cubic-bezier(0.42, 0, 0.58, 1)
• step-startThe step-start function is equivalent to steps(1, start).
• step-endThe step-end function is equivalent to steps(1, end).
• steps(<integer>[, [ start | end ] ]?) Specifies a stepping function, described above, taking two parameters. The first parameter specifies the number of intervals in the function. It must be a positive integer (greater than 0). The second parameter, which is optional, is either the value 'start' or 'end', and specifies the point at which the change of values occur within the interval. If the second parameter is omitted, it is given the value 'end'.
• cubic-bezier(<number>, <number>, <number>, <number>)Specifies a cubic-bezier curve. The four values specify points P1 and P2 of the curve as (x1, y1, x2, y2). Both x values must be in the range [0, 1] or the definition is invalid. The y values can exceed this range.

Example

<div class="progress"></div>

.progress { 
   background: #333;
   border: 2px solid #333; 
   height: 20px;
   position: relative; 
} 
.progress::before{ 
   animation: progress 5s; 
   animation-timing-function: linear; 
   animation-duration: 5s; 
   animation-fill-mode: forwards; 
   -webkit-animation-name: progress; 
   -webkit-animation-timing-function: linear; 
   -webkit-animation-duration: 5s; 
   -webkit-animation-fill-mode: forwards; 
   content: ""; 
   position: absolute; 
   height: 100%;  
   background: #FFA600; 
} 
@-webkit-keyframes progress { 
   from { 
      width: 0; 
   } 
   to { 
      width: 100%; 
   } 
} 
@keyframes progress { 
   from { 
      width: 0; 
   } 
   to { 
      width: 100%; 
   } 
}
