SharedKeyframeList.SharedKeyframeList()

This is an experimental technology
Because this technology's specification has not stabilized, check the compatibility table for usage in various browsers. Also note that the syntax and behavior of an experimental technology is subject to change in future versions of browsers as the specification changes.

The SharedKeyframeList() constructor of the SharedKeyframeList interface creates a new SharedKeyframeList object that can be shared across multiple KeyframeEffect objects.

Syntax

JavaScript
var sharedKeyframeSet = new sharedKeyframeList(keyframes);

Parameters

keyframes

An object representing a set of keyframes to be contained in the object.

There are two different ways to format keyframes:

  1. An object containing key-value pairs consisting of the property to animate and an array of values to iterate over.

    JavaScript
    element.animate({
      opacity: [ 0, 1 ],          // [ from, to ]
      color:   [ "#fff", "#000" ] // [ from, to ]
    }, 2000);
  2. An array of objects (keyframes) consisting of properties and values to iterate over. This is the canonical format returned by the setKeyframes() method.

    JavaScript
    element.animate([ 
      { // from
        opacity: 0,
        color: "#fff"
      }, 
      { // to
        opacity: 1,
     ​   color: "#000"
      }
    ], 2000);

    With this latter form it is also possible to specify offsets for each keyframe by providing an offset value.

    JavaScript
    element.animate([ { opacity: 1 },
                      { opacity: 0.1, offset: 0.7 },
                      { opacity: 0 } ],
                    2000);

    offset values, if provided, must be between 0.0 and 1.0 and arranged in ascending order.

    Furthermore, using this form it is also possible to specify easing to apply between keyframes by providing an easing value as illustrated below.

    JavaScript
    element.animate([ { opacity: 1, easing: 'ease-out' },
                      { opacity: 0.1, easing: 'ease-in' },
                      { opacity: 0 } ],
                    2000);

    In this example, the specified easing only applies from the keyframe where it is specified until the next keyframe. Any easing value specified on the options argument, however, applies across the entire duration of a single iteration of the animation.
