Super-smooth CSS3 transformations and transitions for jQuery

jQuery Transit is a plugin for to help you do CSS transformations and

transitions in jQuery.

Refer to the jQuery Transit website for

examples.

Usage

Just include this script after jQuery. Requires jQuery 1.4+.

Transformations

You can set transformations as you would any CSS property in jQuery.

(Note that you cannot $.fn.animate() them, only set them.)

$("#box").css({ x: '30px' }); // Move right

$("#box").css({ y: '60px' }); // Move down

$("#box").css({ translate: [60,30] }); // Move right and down

$("#box").css({ rotate: '30deg' }); // Rotate clockwise

$("#box").css({ scale: 2 }); // Scale up 2x (200%)

$("#box").css({ scale: [2, 1.5] }); // Scale horiz and vertical

$("#box").css({ skewX: '30deg' }); // Skew horizontally

$("#box").css({ skewY: '30deg' }); // Skew vertical

$("#box").css({ perspective: 100, rotateX: 30 }); // Webkit 3d rotation

$("#box").css({ rotateY: 30 });

$("#box").css({ rotate3d: [1, 1, 0, 45] });

Relative values are supported.

$("#box").css({ rotate: '+=30' }); // 30 degrees more

$("#box").css({ rotate: '-=30' }); // 30 degrees less

All units are optional.

$("#box").css({ x: '30px' });

$("#box").css({ x: 30 });

Multiple arguments can be commas or an array.

$("#box").css({ translate: [60,30] });

$("#box").css({ translate: ['60px','30px'] });

$("#box").css({ translate: '60px,30px' });

Getters are supported. (Getting properties with multiple arguments returns

arrays.)

$("#box").css('rotate'); //=> "30deg"

$("#box").css('translate'); //=> ['60px', '30px']

Animating - $.fn.transition

$('...').transition(options, [duration], [easing], [complete])

You can animate with CSS3 transitions using $.fn.transition(). It works

exactly like $.fn.animate(), except it uses CSS3 transitions.

$("#box").transition({ opacity: 0.1, scale: 0.3 });

$("#box").transition({ opacity: 0.1, scale: 0.3 }, 500); // duration

$("#box").transition({ opacity: 0.1, scale: 0.3 }, 'fast'); // easing

$("#box").transition({ opacity: 0.1, scale: 0.3 }, 500, 'in'); // duration+easing

$("#box").transition({ opacity: 0.1, scale: 0.3 }, function() {..}); // callback

$("#box").transition({ opacity: 0.1, scale: 0.3 }, 500, 'in', function() {..}); // everything

You can also pass duration and easing and complete as values in options, just like in $.fn.animate().

$("#box").transition({

opacity: 0.1, scale: 0.3,

duration: 500,

easing: 'in',

complete: function() { /* ... */ }

});

Tests

Since you can't easily programatically test transitions, you'll need to build

the site, open the test suite in your browser, and visually inspect if all

transitions work as they should.

Build the site using rake build, then open site/_output/test.html. This

builds the minified JS and tests it.

Alternatives

Pros: no jQuery dependency, great syntax.

Cons (at time of writing): no iOS support (doesn't use translate3d), some

IE bugs, no 3D transforms, no animation queue.

Pros: transparently overrides $.fn.animate() to provide CSS transitions

support.

Cons: transpalently overrides $.fn.animate(). No transformations support.

Pros: Tons of transformations.

Cons: No CSS transition support; animates via fx.step.

Pros: simply provides rotation.

Cons: simply provides rotation. No transitions support.
