Learn ANIMEJS with Real Code Examples
Updated Nov 26, 2025
Practical Examples
Fading in/out elements with opacity
Sliding menus and panels
Animating charts and graphs
SVG icon morphing animations
Scroll-triggered interactive animations
Troubleshooting
Check target selector correctness
Verify property names and units
Ensure DOM elements exist before animation
Avoid animating very large numbers of elements
Debug using console and requestAnimationFrame monitoring
Testing Guide
Verify DOM targets exist before animation
Check timeline sequences execute correctly
Test easing and keyframes visually
Profile performance with Chrome DevTools
Test across multiple browsers
Deployment Options
Include anime.js via CDN in production
Bundle with Webpack/Rollup/Vite
Tree-shake unused features
Minify JS for performance
Integrate with SPA or multi-page apps
Tools Ecosystem
anime.js core library
DevTools for performance profiling
SVGator integration for SVG animation
Third-party easing libraries
Timeline utilities and helper functions
Integrations
React (via refs or hooks)
Vue.js transitions and directives
Angular animations and components
Scroll libraries (ScrollMagic, Locomotive Scroll)
Data visualization libraries (Chart.js, D3.js)
Productivity Tips
Use timelines for sequence control
Group animations logically
Reuse easing functions
Cache selectors for performance
Combine transforms and opacity for GPU acceleration
Challenges
Browser performance variability
