Animations play a crucial role in an application’s user experience (UX). A set of well-designed animations can make an application feel fast, polished, and professional. However, creating animations can be a daunting task that involves knowing what is available and how to choose the right approach for each task.

You will start with the easiest methods and move on to more advanced animation methods as you make your way through this course. You’ll start with general animation techniques, covering CSS transitions, animations, and the Web Animations API, followed by Angular animations and integrating external animation libraries. Lastly, you’ll finish with a deep dive into animation performance and debugging.

This course will provide you with information and advice to help you create beautiful and performant animations in Angular applications. By the end of the course, you will be able to create performant animations and choose the right tools to create them effectively.

Animations in Angular

# Problem statement

Using Angular animations in an Angular application, create an enter and exit animation for the target element with the following configurations:

**Enter animation**

A sequential animation that plays one after the other:
- Original stateIt has an opacity of `0` and is scaled down to `0.5` of its original size.

- First animation: It fades in from an opacity of `0` to `1` for `500ms`.
- Second animation: It scales up to its original size for `300ms`.

**Exit animation**

A parallel animation that plays together:
- It fades out to an opacity of `0` for `500ms`.
- It rotates `360deg` for `300ms` as it fades out.

The playground below contains an element with basic styling so you can focus on adding the animation. You’ll also be using a single component to create the animation: `app.component.ts`, `app.component.html`, and `app.component.scss`.

Apply what you've learned so far about Angular animations to create a combination of sequential and parallel animations.
