Documentation

Use

var Timaline = require('Timaline');

Options

You can pass 3 options to constructor, and you can combine them :

 
var timeline = new Timaline({
    loop: false, // default : true
    speed: 0.5, // default : 1
    repeat: 3 // default : 0
});

Methods

.wait(time)

Wait time.

properties

time (Integer)

Time to wait in millisecond

.set(callback)

Call your function.

properties

callback (Function)

The fonction you need to call

.addClass(el, classname)

AddClass shortcut.

properties

el (Node)

Your dom element

classname (String)

Your class name

.removeClass(el, classname)

RemoveClass shortcut.

properties

el (Node)

Your dom element

classname (String)

Your class name

.destroy()

Roughly destroy your timeline.

speed (Float)

Speed will control entire timeline (default: 1)

repeat (Float)

Repeat your timeline as many times as you like (default: 0)

Informations

When you set a callback, infos are available :

var delay = new Timaline();
 
delay
    .wait(200)
        .set(function(infos){
            console.log(infos);
        });

var infos = {
    index: 2, // The index of your task
    keyframe: {
        forecast: 3000, // Time forecast by set wait time
        real: 2996, // Real time (with RAF Delta)
        shift:  -4 // Shift between both
    }
};

Examples

Simple task

This example is a simple delayed task, similar as a simple window.setTimeout :

var delay = new Timaline();
 
delay
    .wait(200)
        .set(function(infos){
            console.log(infos);
        });

Chained tasks

This example is a chained tasks :

var timeline = new Timaline();
 
timeline
    .wait(1000)
        .set(function(infos){
            console.log('task index :' + infos.index );
        })
    .wait(2000)
        .set(function(infos){
            console.log('task index :' + infos.index );
        });

Shortcuts use

If you need, you can use shortcuts methods during your timeline : (consider that the used classes exist in your stylesheet)

var $header = document.getElementById('header');
var $container = document.getElementById('container');
var $footer = document.getElementById('footer');
 
var hidePage = new Timaline();
 
hidePage
    .set(function(infos){
        console.log('This page will disappear in a while.');
    })
    .wait(1000)
        .addClass($header, 'fadeOut')
    .wait(800)
        .removeClass($container, 'shown')
    .wait(1000)
        .addClass($footer, 'scaleOut')
    .set(function(infos){
        console.log('That\'s all folks!');
    });

Update manually

This example show how to update Timaline with your own loop :

var delay = new Timaline({
    raf: false
});
 
function loop( timestamp ) {
    delay.update( timestamp );
    requestAnimationFrame( loop );
}
 
requestAnimationFrame( loop );
 
delay
    .wait(200)
        .set(function(infos){
            console.log(infos);
        });

Destroy on the fly

A timeline is destructs when it is finished, but sometimes you need to roughly destroy it before the end :

// Create a new timeline
 
var timeline = new Timaline();
 
timeline
    .wait(3000)
    .set(function(infos){
        console.log('I\'ll never be call.');
    })
    .wait(1000)
    .set(function(infos){
        console.log('me too.');
    });
 
// ..and create a new one that will remove
// the first one before its end
 
var destroy = new Timaline();
 
destroy
    .wait(1000)
    .set(function(infos){
        timeline.destroy();
    });
