FX Plugin

Back to plugins | Download plugin

The FX plugin provides a visual effects library for the nano JavaScript framework. It contains over 25 preconfigured effects ready to use, plus core effect functions to build your own custom effects.

To use any effect simply call the plugin method fx() and pass the effect name as a string. 

  nano('example').fx('jump');

The fx() method also allows 2 additional arguments, a params object and a callback function. The parameters let you configure certain aspects of the effect, such as initial and end states, timing and effect rate, while the callback function allows you to execute some code once the effect has completed. 

  nano('example').fx('fade', {start: 0.8, end: 0, time: 300}, function() { this.del(); });

The scope of the callback function is the element the effect is currently modifying. Using callbacks you can chain effects to create a chronological effect sequence. However, keep in mind that JavaScript's timing is not reliable to be accurate, so always avoid attempting to run effects in parallel, as race conditions will cause unexpected results.
