Introduction to AniJS

AniJS language

AniJS uses the HTML <code>data-</code> attribute to define a simple language to create interface elements and animations.

You can compose sentences with the following logic:

If: Event(click, scroll, mouseover and more) , On: Html element (css selector) , Do: Actions or Animations (Rotate animation) , To: Html element to modify

Example on code pen

Element	Purpose	Examples	HTML Example
if	defines an event	click,	If user clicks on footer element, then header will swing. <header data-anijs="if: click, on: footer, do: swing">
On	defines the owner with a CSS selector. If "on" is missing then it is the current element.	header, #my, .things
Do	Define an action. You either can define your own CSS classes, or take the Animate.css Youlibrary. You furthermore can clone or remove HTML and add/remove CSS classes.]
To	Similar as "On", this defines the elements affected by the response action or animation. You can use a CSS selector.

In addition, Before, After and Helper can be used. See Sentence Definitions

• Unzip the files within the new directory.
• Goto {{animate.css library. Save the CSS (right-click and "save as") in the CSS directory of the AniJS directory)
