Usage

Basic Usage

The useAnimate function returns the animation instance and control functions.

vue

<script setup lang="ts">
import { useAnimate
 } from '@vueuse/core'
import { useTemplateRef
 } from 'vue'

const el
 = useTemplateRef
('el')
const {
  isSupported
,
  animate
,

  // actions
  play
,
  pause
,
  reverse
,
  finish
,
  cancel
,

  // states
  pending
,
  playState
,
  replaceState
,
  startTime
,
  currentTime
,
  timeline
,
  playbackRate
,
} = useAnimate
(el
, { transform
: 'rotate(360deg)' }, 1000)
</script>

<template>
  <span
 ref
="el
" style
="display:inline-block">useAnimate</span
>
</template>

Custom Keyframes

Either an array of keyframe objects, or a keyframe object, or a ref. See Keyframe Formats for more details.

const keyframes
 = { transform
: 'rotate(360deg)' }
// Or
const keyframes
 = [
  { transform
: 'rotate(0deg)' },
  { transform
: 'rotate(360deg)' },
]
// Or
const keyframes
 = ref
([
  { clipPath
: 'circle(20% at 0% 30%)' },
  { clipPath
: 'circle(20% at 50% 80%)' },
  { clipPath
: 'circle(20% at 100% 30%)' },
])

useAnimate
(el
, keyframes
, 1000)

Options

The third argument accepts a duration number or an options object with the following additional properties on top of KeyframeAnimationOptions:

import { useAnimate
 } from '@vueuse/core'

useAnimate
(el, keyframes, {
  duration
: 1000,
  // Start playing immediately (default: true)
  immediate
: true,
  // Commit the end styling state to the element (default: false)
  commitStyles
: false,
  // Persist the animation (default: false)
  persist
: false,
  // Callback when animation is initialized
  onReady
(animate
) {
    console
.log
('Animation ready', animate
)
  },
  // Callback when an error occurs
  onError
(e
) {
    console
.error
('Animation error', e
)
  },
})

Delaying Start

Set immediate: false to prevent the animation from starting automatically.

import { useAnimate
 } from '@vueuse/core'

const { play
 } = useAnimate
(el, keyframes, {
  duration
: 1000,
  immediate
: false,
})

// Start the animation manually
play
()
