Easing

Easing

The Easing module implements common easing functions. This module is used by Animate.timing() to convey physically believable motion in animations.

You can find a visualization of some common easing functions at http://easings.net/

Predefined animations

The Easing module provides several predefined animations through the following methods:

• back provides a simple animation where the object goes slightly back before moving forward
• bounce provides a bouncing animation
• ease provides a simple inertial animation
• elastic provides a simple spring interaction

Standard functions

Three standard easing functions are provided:

• linear
• quad
• cubic

The poly function can be used to implement quartic, quintic, and other higher power functions.

Additional functions

Additional mathematical functions are provided by the following methods:

• bezier provides a cubic bezier curve
• circle provides a circular function
• sin provides a sinusoidal function
• exp provides an exponential function

The following helpers are used to modify other easing functions.

• in runs an easing function forwards
• inOut makes any easing function symmetrical
• out runs an easing function backwards

Methods

static step0(n)

A stepping function, returns 1 for any positive value of n.

static step1(n)

A stepping function, returns 1 if n is greater than or equal to 1.

static linear(t)

A linear function, f(t) = t. Position correlates to elapsed time one to one.

static ease(t)

A simple inertial interaction, similar to an object slowly accelerating to speed.

http://cubic-bezier.com/#.42,0,1,1

static quad(t)

A quadratic function, f(t) = t * t. Position equals the square of elapsed time.

http://easings.net/#easeInQuad

static cubic(t)

A cubic function, f(t) = t * t * t. Position equals the cube of elapsed time.

http://easings.net/#easeInCubic

static poly(n)

A power function. Position is equal to the Nth power of elapsed time.

n = 4: http://easings.net/#easeInQuart n = 5: http://easings.net/#easeInQuint

static sin(t)

A sinusoidal function.

http://easings.net/#easeInSine

static circle(t)

A circular function.

http://easings.net/#easeInCirc

static exp(t)

An exponential function.

http://easings.net/#easeInExpo

static elastic(bounciness)

A simple elastic interaction, similar to a spring oscillating back and forth.

Default bounciness is 1, which overshoots a little bit once. 0 bounciness doesn't overshoot at all, and bounciness of N > 1 will overshoot about N times.

Wolfram Plots:

• http://tiny.cc/elastic_b_1 (bounciness = 1, default)
• http://tiny.cc/elastic_b_3 (bounciness = 3)

static back(s)

Use with Animated.parallel() to create a simple effect where the object animates back slightly as the animation starts.

Wolfram Plot:

• http://tiny.cc/back_default (s = 1.70158, default)

static bounce(t)

Provides a simple bouncing effect.

http://easings.net/#easeInBounce

static bezier(x1, y1, x2, y2)

Provides a cubic bezier curve, equivalent to CSS Transitions' transition-timing-function.

A useful tool to visualize cubic bezier curves can be found at http://cubic-bezier.com/

static in(easing)

Runs an easing function forwards.

static out(easing)

Runs an easing function backwards.

static inOut(easing)

Makes any easing function symmetrical. The easing function will run forwards for half of the duration, then backwards for the rest of the duration.
