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 only CSS animations in an Angular application, create a rotation animation.

# Expected behavior

Clicking the element should trigger its rotation if it’snot already spinning. After the animation ends, clicking the element again should retrigger the rotation animation. The animation should have the following configurations:
- Duration: `500` milliseconds
- Timing function: `ease-in-out`


The playground below contains an element with basic styling so we 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`.

# Coding exercise

Apply what you've learned so far about CSS animations to create a rotation animation.
