Why Animate?

“We’ve evolved to perform actions that flow more or less seamlessly.

"We aren’t wired to deal with the fits and starts of human-computer interaction.”

How?

• <transition />
• watchers/reactivity
• custom directives
• page transitions
• *bonus* vue data vis

Vue Basics

V-Model

Creates a relationship between the data in the instance/component and a form input, so you can dynamically update values

Directives

Accepting user input and managing it in a responsible manner

This pen.

<Transition />

  <app-modal v-if="isShowing">
    ...
  </app-modal>

This pen.

😳

  <app-modal v-if="isShowing">
    ...
  </app-modal>

Transition Component

Encapsulate what is changing declaratively

Vue Elegance

Default 'v-' prefix, otherwise name="foo"

.fade-enter-active, .fade-leave-active {
  transition: opacity 0.25s ease-out;
}

.fade-enter, .fade-leave-to {
  opacity: 0;
}

Reusable for other components

This pen.

Great!

But...

<div :class="[isShowing ? blurClass : '', bkClass]">
  <h3>Let's trigger this here modal!</h3>
  <button @click="toggleShow">
    <span v-if="isShowing">Hide child</span>
    <span v-else>Show child</span>
  </button>
</div>

.bk {
  transition: all 0.05s ease-out;
}

.blur {
  filter: blur(2px);
  opacity: 0.4;
}

Transition Modes

🏆

🏆

This pen

Without transition modes

The current element waits until the new element is done transitioning in to fire

The current element transitions out and then the new element transitions in.

In-out

Out-in

<transition name="flip" mode="out-in">
  <slot v-if="!isShowing"></slot>
  <img v-else src="https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/s.cdpn.io/28963/cartoonvideo14.jpeg" />
</transition>

HTML

CSS Animation

Still <transition /> component, but

This pen.

  <transition
    enter-active-class="bouncein"
    leave-active-class="rollout">
    <div v-if="isShowing">
      <app-child class="child"></app-child>
    </div>
  </transition>

Bounce a ball

@mixin ballb($yaxis: 0) {
  transform: translate3d(0, $yaxis, 0);
}

@keyframes bouncein { 
  1% { @include ballb(-400px); }
  20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, 95%, 99%, 100% { @include ballb() }
  30% { @include ballb(-80px); }
  50% { @include ballb(-40px); }
  70% { @include ballb(-30px); }
  90% { @include ballb(-15px); }
  97% { @include ballb(-10px); }
}

.bouncein { 
  animation: bouncein 0.8s cubic-bezier(0.25, 0.46, 0.45, 0.94) both;
}

.ballmove-enter {
  @include ballb(-400px);
}

Keep it DRY

JavaScript Hooks

<transition 
  @before-enter="beforeEnter"
  @enter="enter"
  @after-enter="afterEnter"
  @enter-cancelled="enterCancelled"

  @before-leave="beforeLeave"
  @leave="leave"
  @after-leave="afterLeave"
  @leave-cancelled="leaveCancelled"
  :css="false">
 
 </transition>

Custom Naming

<transition 
  @enter="enterEl"
  @leave="leaveEl"
  :css="false">
  <!-- put element here-->
 </transition>

Most Basic Example

methods: {
   enterEl(el, done) {
     //entrance animation
     done();
  },
  leaveEl(el, done) {
    //exit animation
    done();
  },
}

Most Basic Example

This pen.

<transition @before-enter="beforeEnter" @enter="enter" :css="false">
  <p class="booktext" v-if="load">
    {{ message }}
  </p>
</transition>

new Vue({
  ...
  methods: {
    beforeEnter(el) {
      TweenMax.set(el, {
        transformPerspective: 600,
        perspective: 300,
        transformStyle: "preserve-3d",
        autoAlpha: 1
      });
    },
    enter(el, done) {
      tl.add("drop");
      for (var i = 0; i < wordCount; i++) {
        tl.from(split.words[i], 1.5, {
          z: Math.floor(Math.random() * (1 + 150 - -150) + -150),
          ease: Bounce.easeOut
        }, "drop+=0." + (i/ 0.5));
       ...
    }
  }
});

<TransitionGroup />

FLIP, with no heavy lifting!

FLIP stands for First, Last, Invert, Play

Rosario's article

 <transition-group name="cell" tag="div" class="container">
    <div v-for="cell in cells" :key="cell.id">
      {{ cell.number }}
    </div>
  </transition-group>

Snipcart's post

Leverage the Reactivity System for Transitions

Watchers

& Vue's Reactivity System

What is Reactive?

What is Reactive?

• Angular 1.x has dirty checking.
• Cycle.js and Angular 2 use reactive streams like XStream and Rx.js.
• Vue.js, MobX or Ractive.js all use a variation of getters/setters.

We're going to 'watch' any data property declared on the Vue instance

State change can create the animation

transition with watchers

SVG is good for this because it's built with MATH

      TweenMax.to(tweenedData, 1, tweenSourceData)
    }

Vue and Serverless

Serverless

Series: Exploring data with Serverless and Vue

Demo and repo w/ OSS code

Serverless in Azure

getGeo(makeIterator(content), (updatedContent, err) => {
  if (!err) {
    // we need to base64 encode the JSON to embed it into the PUT (dear god, why)
    let updatedContentB64 = new Buffer(
      JSON.stringify(updatedContent, null, 2)
    ).toString('base64');
    let pushData = {
      path: GH_FILE,
      message: 'Looked up locations, beep boop.',
      content: updatedContentB64,
      sha: data.sha
    };
    ...
};

We're going to retrieve the geo-information for each item in the original data

function getGeo(itr, cb) {
 let curr = itr.next();
 if (curr.done) {
   // All done processing- pass the (now-populated) entries to the next callback
   cb(curr.data);
   return;
 }

 let location = curr.value.Location;

Single element

Three.js

<div id="container"></div>

Call on mounted

mounted() {
  //we have to load the texture when it's mounted and pass it in
  let earthmap = THREE.ImageUtils.loadTexture('/world7.jpg');
  this.initGlobe(earthmap);
}

//from
const geometry = new THREE.SphereGeometry(200, 40, 30);
//to 
const geometry = new THREE.IcosahedronGeometry(200, 0);

Vue

makes it extraordinarily simple

to create complex and beautiful interactions

that feel seamless for our users.

Avoid burnout.

Have fun.

Thank you!
