## What are Bootstrap Animations?

Bootstrap subtle and smooth MDB animations provide the user with a unique experience when interacting with UI. There are several dozen animations at your disposal along with many customization and implementation options

______

## Installation

#### Manual installation (zip package)

To use this component, you first need to install the [MDB 5 Free package](https://mdbootstrap.com/docs/standard/getting-started/installation/#section-manual-installation)

_______

#### MDB CLI

Watch our [**Quick Start Tutorial**](https://mdbootstrap.com/docs/standard/getting-started/quick-start/) to discover and use the full potential of MDB 5 and MDB CLI

_______

#### NPM

###### Prerequisites

Before starting the project make sure to install [Node LTS (12.x.x recommended)](https://nodejs.org/en/).

###### Installation

To install MDB UI KIT in your project easily type the following command in the terminal:
```terminal
npm i mdb-ui-kit 
```

###### Importing JS modules

You can import the entire library or just individual modules:
```terminal
import * as mdb from 'mdb-ui-kit'; // lib
import { Input } from 'mdb-ui-kit'; // module 
```

###### Importing CSS file

To import MDB stylesheet please use the following syntax:
```terminal
@import '~mdb-ui-kit/css/mdb.min.css'; 
```


###### Importing SCSS modules

You can also import individual SCSS modules. To do it properly, we recommend to copy them from the node_modules/mdb-ui-kit/src/scss location directly to your project and import in the same way as CSS files.

###### Webpack integration

You can significantly speed up the process of creating a new project based on Webpack using our [Starter](https://github.com/mdbootstrap/mdb-webpack-starter).

__________

#### CDN

Installation via CDN is one of the easiest methods of integrating MDB UI KIT with your project. Just copy the latest compiled JS script tag and CSS link tag from [cdnjs](https://cdnjs.com/libraries/mdb-ui-kit) to the application.

Don't forget to add also Font Awesome and Roboto font if you need. Here's an example code:

###### CSS

```css
<!-- Font Awesome -->
<link
  href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/font-awesome/5.15.1/css/all.min.css"
  rel="stylesheet"
/>
<!-- Google Fonts -->
<link
  href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:300,400,500,700&display=swap"
  rel="stylesheet"
/>
<!-- MDB -->
<link
  href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/mdb-ui-kit/3.3.0/mdb.min.css"
  rel="stylesheet"
/>
```


###### JS

```javascript
<!-- MDB -->
<script
  type="text/javascript"
  src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/mdb-ui-kit/3.3.0/mdb.min.js"
></script>
```

## Getting started

The easiest way to implement the animation is to use data-mdb-attributes. In the example below, we use the icon `<i class="fas fa-car-side fa-3x"></i>` and add the attributes `data-mdb-toggle="animation" data-mdb-animation-reset="true" data-mdb-animation="slide-out-right"` to give it animation on click.

`data-mdb-toggle="animation"` is an obligatory attribute for each animation.

`data-mdb-animation-reset="true"` lets you decide if the animation can be repeated

`data-mdb-animation="slide-right"` lets you specify which animation apply to the element. In the [demo section](https://mdbootstrap.com/docs/standard/content-styles/animations/#section-introduction) you can find available animations.


```html
<i
  data-mdb-toggle="animation"
  data-mdb-animation-reset="true"
  data-mdb-animation="slide-right"
  class="fas fa-car-side fa-3x"
></i>

```

##Api

### Usage

###### Via CSS class

```html
<i class="fas fa-car-side fa-3x animation slide-out-right"></i>
```

###### Via data attributes

```html
<i
  data-mdb-toggle="animation"
  data-mdb-animation="tada"
  data-mdb-animation-start="onLoad"
  class="fas fa-star fa-3x"
></i>

```


#### You can see more usage examples on the [📄 Animations API page](https://mdbootstrap.com/docs/standard/content-styles/animations/#docsTabsAPI)


____

## Customization

###### On hover

Use `data-mdb-animation-start="onHover"` to launch the animation on mouse hover.

```html

<i
  data-mdb-toggle="animation"
  data-mdb-animation-start="onHover"
  data-mdb-animation-reset="true"
  data-mdb-animation="slide-right"
  class="fas fa-car-side fa-3x"
></i>

```

###### Repeat animation on scroll

If you want to launch the animation every time it's reached when scrolling use `data-mdb-animation-on-scroll="repeat"`.

```html
<i
  data-mdb-toggle="animation"
  data-mdb-animation-start="onScroll"
  data-mdb-animation-on-scroll="repeat"
  data-mdb-animation="slide-in-left"
  class="fas fa-car-side fa-3x"
></i>

```


###### Show on load

If you use animation `onScroll`, by default all elements are visible when the page is loaded. They disappear and begin to animate after the first scroll. You can change this by setting `data-mdb-animation-show-on-load="false"`. However, remember that this may have a negative impact on SEO.


```html
<i
  data-mdb-toggle="animation"
  data-mdb-animation-start="onScroll"
  data-mdb-animation-on-scroll="repeat"
  data-mdb-animation="slide-in-left"
  class="fas fa-car-side fa-3x"
></i>

```
