## Overview
AlrdyAnimate is a lightweight JavaScript library for adding scroll-triggered animations to your web pages. It provides easy-to-use options for customizing animation behavior and supports IntersectionObserver for efficient performance. With version 2.0.0, it now includes optional GSAP integration for more powerful animations.
## Installation
You can include AlrdyAnimate in your project using either CDN or npm.

```
### Initialization Scripts
#### Webflow Implementation
For Webflow projects, add these scripts to your custom code section:
```html
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://unpkg.com/alrdy-animate@6.8.0/dist/AlrdyAnimate.css">
<script defer src="https://unpkg.com/alrdy-animate@6.8.0/dist/AlrdyAnimate.js"></script>
<!-- SCRIPT FOR MAIN CUSTOM CODE-->
<script defer>
function initTabSystem() {
//custom code
}
async function initAlrdyAnimate() {
if (!window.alrdyInitialized) {
await AlrdyAnimate.init({
ease: 'ease-in-out',
duration: 0.8,
modals: true,
gsapFeatures: ['text', 'slider', 'scroll'],
templates: {
theme: 'blur',
custom: {
'heading-style-h2': {
animationType: 'text-blur|text-fade',
split: 'lines&words',
stagger: 0.05
},
'heading-style-h3': {
animationType: 'aa-fade'
}
}
}
});
//Initialize other functions
initTabSystem();
}
}
// 1. Initial page load
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', initAlrdyAnimate);
// 2. Handle prefetched pages
window.addEventListener('pageshow', (event) => { if (event.persisted) {initAlrdyAnimate();} });
// 3. Handle browser back/forward navigation
window.addEventListener('popstate', initAlrdyAnimate);
</script>
<!-- SCRIPT FOR PAGE CUSTOM CODE-->
<script defer>
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => {
AlrdyAnimate.initPageAnimations(() => {
});
});
</script>
```
#### Standard HTML/JavaScript Implementation
For non-Webflow projects, you can initialize AlrdyAnimate in several ways:
1. **Using CDN with DOMContentLoaded**:
```html
<!-- Add these in your HTML head -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://unpkg.com/alrdy-animate@2.1.3/dist/AlrdyAnimate.css">
<!-- Add these in your HTML end of body -->
<script defer src="https://unpkg.com/alrdy-animate@2.1.3/dist/AlrdyAnimate.js"></script>
<script>
// Function to initialize AlrdyAnimate with consistent options
function initAlrdyAnimate() {
if (!window.alrdyInitialized) {
AlrdyAnimate.init({
ease: 'ease-in-out',
duration: 0.8,
hoverDuration: 0.6,
gsapFeatures: ['text', 'slider', 'scroll', 'hover'],
templates: {
theme: 'floaty',
custom: {
'my-headline': {
animationType: 'text-slide-up',
split: 'words',
ease: 'power2.out',
duration: 0.8,
stagger: 0.05
}
}
}
});
}
}
// 1. Initial page load
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', initAlrdyAnimate);
// 2. Handle prefetched pages
window.addEventListener('pageshow', (event) => { if (event.persisted) {initAlrdyAnimate();} });
// 3. Handle browser back/forward navigation
window.addEventListener('popstate', initAlrdyAnimate);
</script>
```
2. **Using async/await with window load**:
```html
<script>
// Function to initialize AlrdyAnimate with consistent options
async function initAlrdyAnimate() {
if (!window.alrdyInitialized) {
await AlrdyAnimate.init({
ease: 'ease-in-out',
duration: 0.8,
hoverDuration: 0.6,
gsapFeatures: ['text', 'slider', 'scroll', 'hover']
});
}
}
// 1. Initial page load
window.addEventListener('load', initAlrdyAnimate);
// 2. Handle prefetched pages
window.addEventListener('pageshow', (event) => { if (event.persisted) {initAlrdyAnimate();} });
// 3. Handle browser back/forward navigation
window.addEventListener('popstate', initAlrdyAnimate);
</script>
```
3. **Using a Module Bundler (like Webpack or Vite)**:
```javascript
import { AlrdyAnimate } from 'alrdy-animate';
import 'alrdy-animate/dist/AlrdyAnimate.css';
// Function to initialize AlrdyAnimate with consistent options
async function initAlrdyAnimate() {
if (!window.alrdyInitialized) {
await AlrdyAnimate.init({
ease: 'ease-in-out',
duration: 0.8,
hoverDuration: 0.6,
gsapFeatures: ['text', 'slider', 'scroll', 'hover']
});
}
}
// 1. Initial page load
if (document.readyState === 'loading') {
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', initAlrdyAnimate);
} else {
initAlrdyAnimate();
}
// 2. Handle prefetched pages
window.addEventListener('pageshow', (event) => { if (event.persisted) {initAlrdyAnimate();} });
// 3. Handle browser back/forward navigation
window.addEventListener('popstate', initAlrdyAnimate);
```

## CSS Animations triggered on scroll (via JS)
Add the `aa-animate` attribute to the element you want to animate. Once it scrolls into view, JS will add an `in-view` class to the element and the animation will be triggered. You can also add optional attributes (see element attributes below) to customize the animation for individual elements.
- **aa-animate**: The animation type to apply. Example: `aa-animate="float-up"`.
### Scroll Positioning System
AlrdyAnimate uses a flexible scroll positioning system that allows precise control over when animations start and end:
#### Basic Usage
- `aa-scroll-start="top 80%"` - Animation starts when the top of the element reaches 80% down the viewport
- `aa-scroll-end="bottom 70%"` - Animation ends when the bottom of the element reaches 70% down the viewport (for scrub animations)
#### Advanced Positioning
You can use any GSAP ScrollTrigger positioning syntax:
- `aa-scroll-start="center center"` - Animation starts when the center of the element reaches the center of the viewport
- `aa-scroll-start="top bottom"` - Animation starts when the top of the element reaches the bottom of the viewport
- `aa-scroll-end="bottom top"` - Animation ends when the bottom of the element reaches the top of the viewport
#### Mobile/Desktop Variants
Use the `|` separator to define different positions for mobile and desktop:
- `aa-scroll-start="top 80%|top 60%"` - 80% on desktop, 60% on mobile
- `aa-scroll-end="bottom 70%|bottom 50%"` - 70% on desktop, 50% on mobile
#### Legacy Support
The old `aa-viewport` attribute is automatically converted to the new format:
- `aa-viewport="0.6"` - Automatically becomes `aa-scroll-start="top 60%"`
- No changes needed for existing code
### Element Attributes
- **aa-children**: Accepts same values as `aa-animate`, but applies animation to all children if set. Use in conjunction with `aa-stagger` to set a staggered animation and `aa-delay` to set the starting point for all children. Example: `aa-children="fade-up"`.
- **aa-ease**: Overwrites the global easing function for this element. Example: `aa-ease="ease-in-out"`.
- **aa-duration**: The animation duration for this element, in seconds. Example: `aa-duration="2"`.
- **aa-delay**: The animation delay for this element, in seconds. Example: `aa-delay="0.5"`.
- **aa-delay-mobile**: If set, overwrites the delay on mobile devices. Example: `aa-delay-mobile="0.5s"`.
- **aa-anchor**: Specify an anchor element to trigger the animation (useful for fixed elements that should be animated when the anchor scrolls into view). Example: `aa-anchor="#trigger"` on the element to be animated combined with `<div id="trigger">Headline</div>`.
- **aa-scroll-start**: Define when the animation starts. Uses GSAP ScrollTrigger syntax. Example: `aa-scroll-start="top 60%"` or `aa-scroll-start="center center"`. Supports mobile variants with `|`: `aa-scroll-start="top 80%|top 60%"`.
- **aa-scroll-end**: Define when the animation ends (for scrub animations). Uses GSAP ScrollTrigger syntax. Example: `aa-scroll-end="bottom 40%"`. Supports mobile variants with `|`: `aa-scroll-end="bottom 70%|bottom 50%"`.
- **aa-distance**: The distance multiplier for the animation. Example: `aa-distance="1.5"`.
### Toggle Playstate Function
By adding the attriute `aa-toggle-playstate` to an element, all first level children of that element that have animations will be set to `animation-playstate = running` when the element is in view, or to `paused` when out of view.
## CSS Animations triggered on load (CSS only)
Add the `aa-load` attribute to the element you want to animate. The animation will be triggered immediately when the page loads. For best performance, use the CSS directly in Webflow.
- **aa-load**: The animation type to apply. Example: `aa-load="fade-up"`.
### Staggering
- You can combine the `aa-load` attribute with the `aa-stagger` attribute on a parent element to stagger the animation for up to 10 child elements. Example: `aa-stagger="0.5"`.
## CSS Animation Types
AlrdyAnimate provides a wide variety of CSS animations that can be applied using the `aa-load` attribute.
### Fade Animations
Simple fade animations with optional directional movement:
- `fade` (available for aa-load)
- `fade-up`, `fade-down`, `fade-left`, `fade-right` (available for aa-load)
### Float Animations
Fade animations with a smooth back-bounce effect:
- `float-up`, `float-down`, `float-left`, `float-right` (available for aa-load)
### Zoom Animations
Scale animations with optional directional movement:
- `zoom-in`, `zoom-out` (available for aa-load)
- `zoom-in-up`, `zoom-in-down`, `zoom-in-left`, `zoom-in-right`
- `zoom-out-up`, `zoom-out-down`, `zoom-out-left`, `zoom-out-right`
### Slide Animations
Pure sliding movements without opacity change:
- `slide-up`, `slide-down`, `slide-left`, `slide-right` (available for aa-load)
### Blur Animations
Blur in the element
- `blur`, `blur-in`
### Rotate Animations
Rotate animations from bottom right (br) and bottom left (bl) corners, clockwise (cw) and counter-clockwise (ccw).The base roation degree is 5 which you can multiply with the aa-distance attribute.
- `rotate-br-cw`, `rotate-br-ccw` (available for aa-load)
- `rotate-bl-cw`, `rotate-bl-ccw` (available for aa-load)
### 3D Animations
#### Flip Animations
3D flip effects:
- `flip-left`, `flip-right`, `flip-up`, `flip-down`
#### Swing Animations
Requires a parent element to have a perspective set, e.g. `perspective: 1000px;`.
3D swing effects (anchored to top):
- `swing-fwd`, `swing-bwd` (available for aa-load)
#### Forward Turn Animations
Requires a parent element to have a perspective set, e.g. `perspective: 1000px;`.
3D rotation effects (available for aa-load):
- `turn-3d-soft`: Soft rotation around X axis
- `turn-3d-soft-3em`: Same as rotate-soft but with built-in perspective
- `turn-3d-elliptic`: Stronger elliptic rotation around X axis
### Pseudo Overlay Reveal
Creates a pseudo element on top of the content and reveals it. Add the color you want to use as a pseudo color to the animation type, e.g. `aa-animate="pseudo-reveal-up#cccccc"`. Defaults to `var(--background-color--background-primary)` or black.
- `pseudo-reveal-up`, `pseudo-reveal-down`
- `pseudo-reveal-right`, `pseudo-reveal-left`
Example usage:
```html
<div
aa-animate="fade-up"
aa-duration="0.6"
aa-delay="0.2"
aa-distance-factor="1.5"
>
Animated content
</div>
```
## GSAP Features
AlrdyAnimate supports several GSAP-powered features that can be enabled by including them in the `gsapFeatures` array during initialization:
### Text Animations
(`gsapFeatures: ['text']`)
- Set the animation type with `aa-animate="text-..."`.
- Optionally, you can add `-clip` (or `-lines`, `-words`, `-chars`) to wrap each element in a clip wrapper and prevent overflow, resulting in a clipping effect during the animation. Example: `aa-animate="text-slide-up-clip"`.
- Pair with `aa-split` to define how to split the text for animation:
- There are 4 split types: `lines`, `words`, `chars` or `lines&words` (i.e. both lines and words will be animated simultaneously).
- Optionally, randomize the split elements by adding `random` or an integer value to `aa-split`, e.g. `aa-split=words|random` (integer values will result in specified amount of steps that the elements will appear)
- Use `aa-scrub` to make the animation scroll-driven. There are two options: `aa-scrub="snap"` and `aa-scrub="smooth"`.
- Use `aa-stagger` to set the stagger effect for split text animations, in seconds. Example: `aa-stagger="0.05"`.
#### Available Text Animations
- `text-slide-up/down/left`: Slides the text in.
- `text-tilt-up/down`: Slides and rotates the text in.
- `text-rotate-soft`: Rotates the text softly around the X axis. Best works with `aa-split="lines"`
- `text-fade-30`: Fades the text in, starts with 30% opacity.
- `text-fade-10`: Fades the text in, starts with 10% opacity.
- `text-fade`: Fades the text in, starts with 0% opacity.
- `text-scale-up`: Fades and scales the text up.
- `text-blur`: Blurs the text in.
- `text-blur-left/right/up/down`: Blurs the text in with direction.
- `text-block-left/right/up/down`: Shows a block that reveals the text, use aa-color with a hex code to define the block color
### Slider Animations
(`gsapFeatures: ['slider']`)
Creates infinite scrolling, snapping, or static slider animations. To use:
1. Add `aa-animate="slider"` to the container element. (By default, the slider will animate horizontally, but you can add `-vertical` to animate vertically.)
2. Add `aa-slider-item` attribute to each element that should be animated
#### Basic Setup
```html
<div aa-animate="slider">
<div class="slider-container">
<div class="slider-item" aa-slider-item>
<div class="slider-item-content">Item 1</div>
</div>
<div class="slider-item" aa-slider-item>
<div class="slider-item-content">Item 2</div>
</div>
<!-- Add more items as needed -->
</div>
<!-- Navigation Controls -->
<button aa-slider-prev>Previous</button>
<button aa-slider-next>Next</button>
<!-- Counter -->
<div class="counter">
<span aa-slider-current>01</span>
<span>/</span>
<span aa-slider-total>06</span>
</div>
</div>
```
#### Animation Types
1. **Slider Animations** (`slider`)
- Static slider that requires navigation
- Combine with:
- Interaction: `-draggable` or `-snap`
- Position: `-center` (defaults to left aligned)
- Example: `slider-draggable-snap`
2. **Loop Animations** (`slider-loop`)
- Continuous infinite scrolling
- `aa-duration`: Inversely affects speed (1 is slower than 2)
- Combine with:
- Direction: defaults to left, add `-reverse` to animate right
- Interaction: `-draggable`
- Position: `-center` (defaults to left aligned)
- Example: `slider-loop-left-draggable`
3. **Snap Animations** (`slider-snap`)
- Snaps from one item to the next
- `aa-duration`: Duration of each snap animation
- `aa-delay`: Pause duration between snaps
- Combine with:
- Direction: defaults to left, add `-reverse` to animate right
- Interaction: `-draggable`
- Position: `-center` (defaults to left aligned)
- Example: `slider-snap-right-draggable`
#### CSS Requirements
- Container needs `display: flex` and `gap` set
- Items need fixed width (percentage or pixels) and `flex-shrink: 0`
- Important: The items cannot have a border or padding; if you need such styles, nest another div inside the item and apply the styles to that nested div.
- Animations can be added to elements within items, but not directly on items
```css
.slider-container {
display: flex;
gap: 2rem;
}
.slider-item {
width: 300px;
flex-shrink: 0;
}
```
#### Navigation Controls
- Optionally, add navigation controls for the slider (These elements need to located inside the element with `aa-animate="slider"`):
- `aa-slider-prev` and `aa-slider-next` for navigation buttons to show previous and next slide
- `aa-slider-current` and `aa-slider-total` to display the current and total number of slides
- `aa-slider-button` for specific buttons to jump to a certain slide
- the number of buttons needs to match the number of slides
- the slide that is active and the corresponding button get the class `is-active` so you can style them accordingly
- optionally, if the buttons don't live in the same wrapper as `aa-animate = slider`, you can add `aa-slider-target=id_of_slider` to each button to control a specific slider
### Scroll Animations
(`gsapFeatures: ['scroll']`)
Enables scroll-driven animations and effects.
#### Sticky Navigation
- Your nav element needs to have `position: fixed` set so it is sticky.
- Use `aa-nav="change"` to add the class `is-scrolled` to the nav element when scrolling down and remove it when scrolling up.
- Use `aa-nav="hide"` to create a sticky navigation bar that slides out of view when scrolling down and slides back in when scrolling up
- Use `aa-ease` to set the easing. Defaults to `back.inOut`
- Use `aa-duration` to set the duration. Defaults to `0.4s`
- Use `aa-distance` to set the distance multiplier that the nav element will move. Example: `aa-distance="1.5"`.
- Use `aa-nav="hide-change"` to combine both effects
- Add an integer to `aa-nav` to define after how many pixels the the effect should be triggered. Example: `aa-nav="hide-change-50"`. Defaults to `100px`.
#### Background Color Transitions
- Use `aa-animate="background"` on a wrapper element you want to animate when sections inside the wrapper scroll into view
- Optionally set `aa-duration` to define the duration of the animation and `aa-ease` to define the easing.
- Set `aa-scroll-start` to define when the animation triggers, e.g. `aa-scroll-start="center center"` to trigger when the section is 50% in view.
- Set `aa-scrub=true` to make the animation scroll driven; optionally set a number (higher number = longer delay from scroll to animation), e.g `aa-scrub=1`.
- Use `aa-wrapper-colors` with `bg` and `text` to define the background and text colors for the wrapper once the section is scrolled into view, e.g. `aa-wrapper-colors="bg:#f0f0f0;text:#000"`.
- Use `aa-item-colors` with `bg` and `text` to change the background and text colors for child elements when they scroll into view, e.g. `aa-item-colors="bg:#ff0000;text:#fff"`.
- Example:
```html
<div class="wrapper" aa-animate="background" aa-scroll-start="center center" aa-duration="0.8">
<div class="section" aa-wrapper-colors="bg:#f0f0f0;text:#000">
Changes wrapper background to light gray and text to black
</div>
<div class="section" aa-wrapper-colors="bg:#000;text:#fff" aa-item-colors="bg:#ff0000;text:#fff">
Changes wrapper background to dark theme and self to red
<div class="item" aa-item-colors="bg:#ff0000;text:#fff">Changes item background to red and text to white</div>
</div>
</div>
```
#### Marquee Animations
- Set `aa-animate="marquee-left"` or `aa-animate="marquee-right"` to the parent element to create a left- or right-moving marquee
- Use `aa-duration` to set the duration of the animation
- Set `aa-marquee-scroller` to mark the element that increases in speed on scroll; accepts integer to set the speed multiplier, e.g. `aa-marquee-scroller="10"` (defaults to 0, i.e. no speed increase on scroll)
- Set `aa-marquee-items` to mark the wrapper that contains the items to duplicate in the marquee; accepts integer to set the number of duplicates, e.g. `aa-marquee-items="3"` (defaults to 2)
- Important: Each item inside the `aa-marquee-items` wrapper needs to be spaced with `margin` (not `gap` of flexbox)
- Options:
- Add `-switch` to change marquee direction on scroll
- Add `-hover` to the animation type to create a marquee that slows down on hover, e.g. `aa-animate="marquee-left-hover"`
- Add `-paused` to disabe the animation, e.g. `aa-animate="marquee-left-paused"` - use to only animate on scroll
- Add `aa-scrub` to animate on scroll
Example:
```html
<div aa-animate="marquee-left-hover" aa-duration="15" class="marquee">
<div aa-marquee-scroller="10">
<div aa-marquee-items>
<div class="marquee__item">
<p>Scroll Effects & Animations</p>
</div>
<div class="marquee__item">
<p>Scroll Effects & Animations</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
```
#### Parallax Scrolling
Create a parallax scrolling effect on an element. The element's position will change as the user scrolls.
- `aa-animate="parallax"`: Apply a vertical parallax effect. For horizontal movement, use `parallax-horizontal`.
- `aa-parallax-target` (optional): A selector for a child element to apply the parallax effect to. If not provided, the effect is applied to the element with `aa-animate`.
- `aa-parallax-start` (optional): The starting position of the parallax effect in percentage. Defaults to `20`.
- `aa-parallax-end` (optional): The ending position of the parallax effect in percentage. Defaults to `-20`.
- `aa-scroll-start` (optional): The scroll position where the animation starts (e.g., `top bottom`, `center center`). Defaults to `top bottom`, i.e. as soon as top of element reaches bottom of viewport.
- `aa-scroll-end` (optional): The scroll position where the animation ends. Defaults to `bottom top`, i.e. bottom of element reaches top of viewport.
- `aa-scrub` (optional): Controls the smoothness of the animation. A higher value creates a longer delay between the scroll and the animation. Defaults to `true` for a direct mapping.
##### Basic Example
This will move the element vertically from 20% to -20% as it scrolls through the viewport.
```html
<div aa-animate="parallax">
<!-- Content -->
</div>
```
##### Advanced Example
This example moves a child element with the class `.image` horizontally from 50% to 0. The animation starts when the top of the trigger element reaches the center of the viewport and ends when the bottom of the trigger reaches the center, with a smooth scrub effect.
```html
<div
aa-animate="parallax-horizontal"
aa-parallax-target=".image"
aa-parallax-start="50"
aa-parallax-end="0"
aa-scroll-start="top center"
aa-scroll-end="bottom center"
aa-scrub="2"
>
<img src="image.jpg" class="image">
</div>
```
#### Reveal & Appear Animations
- Use `aa-animate="reveal-..."` for reveal animations that use a clip path to mask the content
- Use `aa-animate="appear-..."` for appear animations that fade/slide in content
- Optionally, add `aa-scrub` to make the animation scroll driven
Available animations:
1. Reveal Animations (by animating a clip path)
- `reveal-up`: Reveals content with clip path sliding up
- `reveal-down`: Reveals content with clip path sliding down
- `reveal-left`: Reveals content with clip path sliding left
- `reveal-right`: Reveals content with clip path sliding right
- `reveal-center`: Reveals content with clip path splitting from center in a circle shape
2. Appear Animations (clean transitions)
- `appear`: Simple fade in
- `appear-up`: Fades in while sliding up
- `appear-down`: Fades in while sliding down
- `appear-left`: Fades in while sliding left
- `appear-right`: Fades in while sliding right
Example usage:
```html
<!-- Reveal animation -->
<div>
<img src="image.jpg" aa-animate="reveal-up" aa-duration="1.2" aa-ease="power2.inOut">
</div>
<!-- Appear animation -->
<div aa-animate="appear" aa-scrub="1">
Content fades while scrolling
</div>
```
#### Counter Animations
Animate a number from 0 to the value of the element (it needs to be a number and can include a comma or dot as thousand separator).
- Use `aa-animate="counter"` to animate a number from 0 to the target number
- Use `aa-animate="counter-10"` to animate a number from 10 to the target number
- Optionally, add `aa-scrub` to make the animation scroll-driven
### Hover Animations
The AlrdyAnimate library includes powerful hover animations using GSAP. These animations can be applied to elements by adding the `aa-hover` attribute. Generally, you can use `aa-delay` and `aa-duration` to set the delay and duration of the animation.
#### Available Hover Animations
1. **Text Animations** (`aa-hover="text-..."`)
- Animate text elements with sliding or fading effects.
- Mark the text you want to animate with `aa-hover-text`.
- Requires a wrapper element around the `aa-hover-text` that has position set to `relative` or `absolute` and overflow set to `hidden`.
- Requires `aa-split` attribute to be set (e.g. `aa-split="words"`), optionally add `aa-stagger`
- use `aa-distance` to set distance/delay between the original and the clone.
- Available animations:
- Text Sliding: `text-slide-up`, `text-slide-down`, `text-slide-left`, `text-slide-right`
- Text Fading: `text-fade-up`, `text-fade-down`, `text-fade-left`, `text-fade-right`
- For fading effects, the element with `aa-hover-text` should include padding to make room for the fade effect.
- add `-reverse` to the animation type to play the animation in reverse when hovering out, e.g. `aa-hover="text-slide-up-reverse"`.
2. **Background Circle Animation** (`aa-hover="bg-circle"`)
- Expands a circle from the hover point.
- Requires a circle SVG path in the background, tagged with `aa-hover-bg`.
- Optionally, you can define the hover direction with `aa-hover-direction` (possible values: `all`, `top`, `bottom`, `left`, `right`, `vertical`, `horizontal`).
3. **Background Curve Animation** (`aa-hover="bg-curve"`)
- Animates an SVG path to create a wave effect.
- Requires an SVG path in the background, tagged with `aa-hover-bg`.
- Optionally, you can define the hover direction with `aa-hover-direction` (possible values: `all`, `top`, `bottom`, `left`, `right`, `vertical`, `horizontal`).
4. **Background Expand Animation** (`aa-hover="bg-expand"`)
- Expands a shape inside the element to fill the element.
- Requires a div nested inside the element, tagged with `aa-hover-bg`, that will expand to fill the element.
- Optionally, you can add `-reverse` to `aa-hover` to play the animation in reverse when hovering out, e.g. `aa-hover="bg-expand-reverse"`.
5. **Icon Animations** (`aa-hover="icon-..."`)
- Animates an icon on hover.
- Requires an svg element nested inside the element, tagged with `aa-hover-icon`.
- Define direction of the icon animation by adding a direction, e.g. `aa-hover="icon-right"` (possible values: `right`, `up-right`, `down-right`, `left`, `up-left`, `down-left`, `up`, `down`).
- Optionally, you can add `-reverse` to `aa-hover` to play the animation in reverse when hovering out, e.g. `aa-hover="icon-right-reverse"`.
For all hover animations, you can optionally add `aa-hover-text-color` or `aa-hover-bg-color` to any element inside the aa-hover element to animate the text or background color. The text elements will be positioned relative with z-index set to 1.
You can combine hover animations with the `&` operator, e.g. `aa-hover="bg-expand&icon-right"`.
To set content above the background, add `aa-hover-content` to the respective element (or position it via CSS).
#### HTML Examples
```html
<a class="button" href="#" aa-hover="bg-circle" aa-hover-direction="all" aa-duration="1">
<div aa-hover-text>Circle button</div>
<svg class="bg-filler" viewBox="0 0 1 1" preserveAspectRatio="xMidYMid slice" aa-hover-bg>
<circle cx="0.5" cy="0.5" r="0" fill="currentColor"></circle>
</svg>
</a>
<a class="button" href="#" aa-hover="bg-curve" aa-hover-direction="vertical" aa-duration="0.8">
<div aa-hover-text>Vertical Only</div>
<svg class="bg-filler" viewBox="0 0 100 100" preserveAspectRatio="none" aa-hover-bg>
<path d="M 0 100 V 0 Q 250 0 500 0 V 0 H 0 z" fill="currentColor"></path>
</svg>
</a>
```
## Smooth Scrolling (Lenis)
AlrdyAnimate includes optional smooth scrolling powered by Lenis. To enable it, add the `smoothScroll` option to your initialization:
```javascript
AlrdyAnimate.init({
gsapFeatures: ['scroll', 'text'], // your features
smoothScroll: {
enabled: true,
options: {
lerp: 0.12, // Lower = smoother scrolling
wheelMultiplier: 1, // Adjust scroll speed (default = 1)
touchMultiplier: 2, // Adjust touch speed (default = 2)
smoothWheel: true // Enable smooth scrolling on mouse wheel
}
}
});
```
### Configuration Options
| Option | Type | Default | Description |
|--------|------|---------|-------------|
| `lerp` | number | 0.12 | Controls smoothness (0.01 to 1) |
| `wheelMultiplier` | number | 1 | Mouse wheel scroll speed |
| `touchMultiplier` | number | 2 | Touch/trackpad scroll speed |
| `smoothWheel` | boolean | true | Enable wheel smoothing |
| `infinite` | boolean | false | Enable infinite scrolling |
### Scroll To
The Scroll To feature allows you to create smooth scrolling animations to specific elements on your page.
When using scroll-to functionality, AlrdyAnimate automatically tracks which sections are in view and adds the `is-current` class to the corresponding navigation elements (triggered at 50% of the viewport). This works similarly to Webflow's default anchor link behavior.
- Add `aa-scroll-target` attribute to any clickable element (like buttons or links) and include the ID of the target section, e.g. `aa-scroll-target="#my-section"`
- Customize the scroll behavior with these optional attributes:
- `aa-duration`: Animation duration in seconds (default: 1.2)
- `aa-distance`: Offset distance in pixels (default: 0)
### Important Considerations
#### Modals and Popups
To prevent smooth scrolling within modals or other scrollable elements:
```html
<!-- Add data-lenis-prevent attribute -->
<div class="modal" data-lenis-prevent>
<!-- Modal content -->
</div>
```
#### Stop/Start Scrolling
To disable scrolling (e.g., when opening a modal):
```javascript
// Stop scrolling
window.lenis.stop();
// Resume scrolling
window.lenis.start();
```
#### Nested Scrolling Elements
For elements that need their own native scrolling (like carousels or code editors):
```html
<!-- Add data-lenis-prevent to keep native scrolling -->
<div class="scrollable-element" data-lenis-prevent>
<!-- Scrollable content -->
</div>
```
### Browser Support
Lenis works in all modern browsers. For older browsers, it gracefully falls back to native scrolling.
### GSAP Integration
When enabled, Lenis automatically integrates with GSAP ScrollTrigger animations. No additional configuration is needed for your existing GSAP animations to work with smooth scrolling.
### Performance Tips
- Use `data-lenis-prevent` on heavy scroll containers
- Adjust `lerp` value for balance between smoothness and performance
- Consider increasing `wheelMultiplier` on longer pages
- Use `immediate: true` with `scrollTo` for instant jumps
### Troubleshooting
If animations feel out of sync:
1. Ensure ScrollTrigger is properly initialized
2. Check for conflicting scroll libraries
3. Try adjusting the `lerp` value
4. Verify `data-lenis-prevent` on appropriate elements
## Modals
AlrdyAnimate supports accessible, attribute-driven modals that work seamlessly with or without smooth scrolling (Lenis).
- Trigger:
- Use `aa-modal-target="unique-modal-name"` on any element that should open a modal.
- Modal set up:
- Wrap all your modals in a container with `aa-modal-group` (if you have multiple groups, add a unique identifier each)
- Each modal must have a unique `aa-modal-name="unique-modal-name"` attribute
- Any element inside the modal with `aa-modal-close` will close the modal when clicked (e.g., a close button or the backdrop).
- Apply `data-lenis-prevent`to the content div inside a modal to allow it to scroll
### Modal Animations
Add animations to your modals using these attributes:
- `aa-modal-animate`: Add to any element in the modal to animate it. Available animations:
- Fade: `fade`, `fade-up`, `fade-down`, `fade-left`, `fade-right`
- Slide: `slide-up`, `slide-down`, `slide-left`, `slide-right`
- Scale: `scale`
- Custom: Use `custom-*` (e.g., `custom-slide`) to animate from CSS-defined positions to zero
```css
[aa-modal-animate="custom-slide"] {
transform: translateX(500px);
}
```
- `aa-modal-order`: Control animation sequence
- Basic order: `aa-modal-order="1"` (elements animate in numeric order)
- Start later: `aa-modal-order="1-30"` (second number sets the percentage of the previous animation as a start for this animation, e.g. start this animation after 30% of previous animation)
- `aa-duration`: Set custom duration in seconds (default: 0.5)
- `aa-ease`: Set custom easing (default: "power2.out")
## Easing Functions
AlrdyAnimate supports a variety of easing functions for both CSS and GSAP animations. Here's a quick reference:
### Standard Easings
- `linear`: No easing, no acceleration
- `ease`: Slight acceleration at the beginning, then deceleration (default CSS easing)
- `ease-in`: Gradual acceleration from zero velocity
- `ease-out`: Gradual deceleration to zero velocity
- `ease-in-out`: Acceleration until halfway, then deceleration
### Power Easings (GSAP style)
- `power1.in`, `power1.out`, `power1.inOut`: Subtle easing (equivalent to Quad)
- `power2.in`, `power2.out`, `power2.inOut`: Moderate easing (equivalent to Cubic)
- `power3.in`, `power3.out`, `power3.inOut`: Strong easing (equivalent to Quart)
- `power4.in`, `power4.out`, `power4.inOut`: More pronounced easing (equivalent to Quint)
### Specific Named Easings
- `back.in`, `back.out`, `back.inOut`: Slightly overshoots, then returns
- `circ.in`, `circ.out`, `circ.inOut`: Circular motion feel
- `expo.in`, `expo.out`, `expo.inOut`: Exponential acceleration or deceleration
- `sine.in`, `sine.out`, `sine.inOut`: Sinusoidal easing, smooth and gentle
### Easing Suffixes
- `.in`: Easing starts slowly and accelerates
- `.out`: Easing starts quickly and decelerates
- `.inOut`: Easing starts slowly, accelerates in the middle, then decelerates
Note: 'Elastic' and 'Bounce' easings are available when using GSAP but not for CSS animations.
Usage example:
```html
<div aa-animate="fade-up" aa-ease="back.out">Animated content</div>
```
This will apply a fade-up animation with a 'back out' easing, which means it will slightly overshoot and then settle into place.
## Setting attributes via JavaScript
If you'd like to set the same animation on a certain class or element, you can do so via JavaScript:
```javascript
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
document.querySelectorAll('h1').forEach((element) => { //or querySelectorAll('.my-class')
if (!element.hasAttribute('aa-animate')) {
element.setAttribute('aa-animate', 'text-tilt-up');
element.setAttribute('aa-split', 'words');
element.setAttribute('aa-duration', '0.5');
}
});
AlrdyAnimate.init({
easing: 'power1.out',
again: true,
useGSAP: true
});
});
```
If you want a page refresh to always start from the top, you can add this script to the head tag, so it runs before the page loads:
```javascript
if ('scrollRestoration' in history) {
history.scrollRestoration = 'manual';
}
window.scrollTo(0, 0);
```
## Templates
AlrdyAnimate supports class-based animation templates, allowing you to define animations for specific classes without adding attributes to each element. This is particularly useful for consistent animations across multiple elements.
### Basic Usage
1. Define your templates in the init options:
```javascript
AlrdyAnimate.init({
templates: {
theme: 'floaty', // Use a predefined theme
custom: { // Add custom class animations
'my-headline': {
animationType: 'text-slide-up',
split: 'words',
ease: 'power2.out',
duration: 0.8,
stagger: 0.05
}
}
}
});
```
2. Add the corresponding classes to your HTML elements:
```html
<h1 class="my-headline">This will animate automatically</h1>
```
### Predefined Themes
AlrdyAnimate comes with predefined themes that you can use:
- `floaty`: Smooth, floating animations
- `bouncy`: Playful, bouncy animations
### Template Settings
Each template can include any animation settings that you would normally set via attributes:
- `animationType`: The type of animation (e.g., 'text-slide-up', 'fade-up')
- `split`: How to split text ('words', 'chars', 'lines')
- `ease`: Easing function
- `duration`: Animation duration
- `delay`: Animation delay
- `stagger`: Stagger timing for split text
- `distance`: Animation distance multiplier
### Mobile/Desktop Variants
You can define different animations for mobile and desktop using the `|` separator:
```javascript
templates: {
custom: {
'.my-headline': {
animationType: 'text-slide-up|text-slide-down', // desktop|mobile
split: 'words'
}
}
}
```
### Priority
Template animations have lower priority than attribute-based animations. If an element has both a template class and animation attributes, the attributes will take precedence.
