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

**CSS animations**, also known as keyframe animations, are animation methods to animate an element from one style configuration to another. CSS animations, unlike CSS transitions, can have intermediate steps using a set of keyframes to indicate the styles to be applied at each step.


CSS animations consist of two parts:
- A configuration for the animation itself (i.e. duration, iteration, delay, direction, fill mode, and timing function).
- A set of keyframes indicating the styles to be applied at that step.


# Example

Let’s look at a simple example by creating a box that changes color from blue to gray to red. This example uses CSS keyframes with three steps: `0%`, `50%`, and `100%`. Each keyframe applies a different background color to the element, starting with blue at `0%`, gray at `50%`, and red at `100%`.
