Animations
Usage
[Style Y210]
Use subtle animations with AngularJS to transition between states for views and primary visual elements. Include the ngAnimate module. The 3 keys are subtle, smooth, seamless.
Why?: Subtle animations can improve User Experience when used appropriately.
Why?: Subtle animations can improve perceived performance as views transition.
Sub Second
[Style Y211]
Use short durations for animations. I generally start with 300ms and adjust until appropriate.
Why?: Long animations can have the reverse affect on User Experience and perceived performance by giving the appearance of a slow application.
animate.css
[Style Y212]
Use animate.css for conventional animations.
Why?: The animations that animate.css provides are fast, smooth, and easy to add to your application.
Why?: Provides consistency in your animations.
Why?: animate.css is widely used and tested.
