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

WAAPI’s JavaScript nature and other characteristics make it a great option for certain types of animations. Let’s look at some of its real-world use cases.


# Stagger entrance animations

**Stagger animations** are a type of animation where there are delays between each execution of the animation. This creates a cascading effect. Stagger animations are commonly used for entrance and exit animations to create a soft transition as elements are added and removed from the DOM.

WAAPI is ideal for this as we could easily loop through an array of elements and execute an animation for each entry, adding a dynamic delay to each animation execution.

> **Note:** To create such animations, open the output below in a new tab by clicking on the link after “Your app can be found at” and refresh the page to restart the animation.
