ngAnimate doesn't animate transitions - angularjs

I'm writing and app and ngAnimate stopped working at some point. I'm trying to debug it and cut down my app to this very minimal example where there's nothing more happening than animation when pushing a button. Still, I can't find out why it's not working. I'm injecting the ngAnimate as it's supposed to and I also have script-tag to include the source.
var searchApp = angular.module('searchApp', ['ngAnimate'])

Anyone can see what I'm doing wrong? It must be some very obvious thing because the app is now so simple... spent hours trying to see it.

The issue is with your CSS not with Angular.
Here's a working version
Problem one is that .testiDiv .ng-hide is not valid in this situation, it implies that you're expecting .ng-hide to be within .testiDiv rather than on it.
Problem two is that the animation was on the wrong class, it should be related to the animation classes Angular automatically applies on elements using ng-show / ng-hide.
.testiDiv {
background-color: black;
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
opacity: 1;
}
.testiDiv.ng-hide {
opacity: 0;
}
.testiDiv.ng-hide-add, .testiDiv.ng-hide-remove {
-webkit-transition:all 1s linear;
-moz-transition:all 1s linear;
-o-transition:all 1s linear;
transition:all 1s linear;
}

slide animation effect in angular is not working as expected

I am new to web development Trying to create a sliding page in angular ng-view but its not working as expected when the page two is entering its displaying below the page one till page one is available.please see the code here.
.slide.ng-enter{
transition-duration: 500ms;
transform: translateX(100%);
}
.slide.ng-enter-active{
transform: translateX(0%);
}
.slide.ng-leave{
transition-duration: 500ms;
transform: translateX(0%);
}
.slide.ng-leave-active{
transform: translateX(-100%);
}
I also need to make the page one slide from left to right.Can someone help me on this
I have added position: absolute to .slide. If that is acceptable in the project you are working then the below solution works fine. Please check the updated plunker.
.slide {
top: 0;
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
}

How to properly translate shadow DOM CSS selectors to non-shadow-DOM selectors

I want to test Polymer applications with non-Shadow-DOM capable browsers like Firefox, PhantomJS, and maybe others using WebDriver.
WebDriver commands for Firefox and PhantomJS fail when I use something like
driver.findElement(const By.cssSelector('* /deep/ #some-div'));
Are there some rules how to best translated/approximate these selectors when the polyfills can not be applied:
/deep/
::shadow
:host()
:host-context()
:content
I would like to create a function that translates such selectors automatically to non-shadow-DOM selectors for browsers that don't support them before sending the request and for that I need to know how to translate them.
Question is a bit old, but in case you haven't figured it out yourselves yet.
/deep/ (deprecated): As you said in your answer, just removing it should work in most of the cases.
::shadow (deprecated): Can also just be removed. Replacing it with > might not work if node which you are targeting is not an immediate child of host element's shadow root.
:host() pseudo classes is used to select custom element from inside shadow-dom, in non-supported browsers it will be equal to selecting parent from child element. Since we don't have parent selectors in css and you are writing js for conversion, you can identify tagName of host element and use it instead of :host selector. Something like below:
:host {
opacity: 0.4;
transition: opacity 420ms ease-in-out;
}
:host(:hover) {
opacity: 1;
}
:host(:active) {
position: relative;
top: 3px;
left: 3px;
}
/*Convert it to*/
x-element {
opacity: 0.4;
transition: opacity 420ms ease-in-out;
}
x-element:hover {
opacity: 1;
}
x-element:active {
position: relative;
top: 3px;
left: 3px;
}
:host-context(<selector>) pseudo class matches the host element if it or any of its ancestors matches <selector>. for example:
Below rule will apply on custom element only when it's a descendant of an element with the class .different.
:host-context(.different) {
color: red;
}
<body class="different">
<x-foo></x-foo>
</body>
It won't be very easy to replace this one with anything simple. Even webcomponents polyfill doesn't attempt it. I can't think of any css only way to achieve this.
::content targets distributed child nodes of host element, i.e. all elements which are picked to display using content selectors. Replacing ::content selectors with tagName of host elements should work here. i.e.
::content > h3 {
color: green;
}
/*replace it with*/
x-element h3 {
color: green;
}
Note that I have removed child selector > also from above, because in non-supported browsers after distribution h3 won't be a direct descendant of x-element anymore. Given the way content selector is used, I'd suggest removing child selector also wherever available.
/deep/ can just be removed
::shadow can be replaced by >
don't know about the others yet

Configure ng-animate speed

I have simply included the ngAnimate module, and now my ng-show elements are being animated when shown. Which is great.
But, the animation takes 1s (I think), how can I configure this to be another value, eg. .2s?
It's done in the CSS (to adapt to your solution):
.animate-enter {
-webkit-transition: 2s linear all; /* Chrome */
transition: 2s linear all;
opacity: 0;
}
.animate-enter.animate-enter-active {
opacity: 1;
}
You have to manage animation timing from your css
.sample-show-hide {
-webkit-transition:all linear 0.5s;
transition:all linear 0.5s;
}

How can I animate the movement of remaining ng-repeat items when one is removed?

I have a dynamic list of items using ng-repeat. When something happens an item may disappear. I have handled smoothly animating the removal of these items using ng-animate, but after they are gone, the remaining items simply snap to their new position. How can I animate this movement smoothly?
I've tried applying an "all" transition to the repeated class and using ng-move with no success.
You can achieve this by animating the max-height property. Check out this sample:
http://jsfiddle.net/k4sR3/8/
You will need to pick a sufficiently high value for max-height (in my sample, I used 90px). When an item is initially being added, you want it to start off with 0 height (I'm also animating left to have the item slide in from the left, as well as opacity, but you can remove these if they don't jibe with what you're doing):
.repeated-item.ng-enter {
-webkit-transition:0.5s linear all;
-moz-transition:0.5s linear all;
-o-transition:0.5s linear all;
transition:0.5s linear all;
max-height: 0;
opacity: 0;
left: -50px;
}
Then, you set the final values for these properties in the ng-enter-active rule:
.repeated-item.ng-enter.ng-enter-active {
max-height: 90px;
opacity: 1;
left: 0;
}
Item removal is a bit trickier, as you will need to use keyframe-based animations. Again, you want to animate max-height, but this time you want to start off at 90px and decrease it down to 0. As the animation runs, the item will shrink, and all the following items will slide up smoothly.
First, define the animation that you will be using:
#keyframes my_animation {
from {
max-height: 90px;
opacity: 1;
left: 0;
}
to {
max-height: 0;
opacity: 0;
left: -50px;
}
}
(For brevity, I'm omitting the vendor-specific definitions here, #-webkit-keyframes, #-moz-keyframes, etc - check out the jsfiddle above for the full sample.)
Then, declare that you will be using this animation for ng-leave as follows:
.repeated-item.ng-leave {
-webkit-animation:0.5s my_animation;
-moz-animation:0.5s my_animation;
-o-animation:0.5s my_animation;
animation:0.5s my_animation;
}
Basics
In case anyone is struggling with figuring out how to get AngularJS animations to work at all, here's an abbreviated guide.
First, to enable animation support, you will need to include an additional file, angular-animate.js, after you load up angular.js. E.g.:
<script type="text/javascript" src="angular-1.2/angular.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="angular-1.2/angular-animate.js"></script>
Next, you will need to load ngAnimate by adding it to the list of your module's dependencies (in the 2nd parameter):
var myApp = angular.module('myApp', ['ngAnimate']);
Then, assign a class to your ng-repeat item. You will be using this class name to assign the animations. In my sample, I used repeated-item as the name:
<li ng-repeat="item in items" class="repeated-item">
Then, you define your animations in the CSS using the repeated-item class, as well as the special classes ng-enter, ng-leave, and ng-move that Angular adds to the item when it is being added, removed, or moved around.
The official documentation for AngularJS animations is here:
http://docs.angularjs.org/guide/animations
TLDR: Jank is bad, do animations with transform. Check out this fiddle for css and demo.
Explanation
Note that animating height, max-height, top, ... is really bad performance wise because they cause reflows and thus jank (more information on html5rocks|high-performance-animations).
There is however a method getting this type of animation using only transforms by utilizing the sibling selector.
When elements are added there is one reflow because of the new item, all items below are transformed up so they stay at the same position and then the transformation is removed for a smooth slide-in.
In reverse when elements are removed they are transformed to the new position for a smooth slide-out and when the element is finally removed there is again one reflow and the transform is removed instantly so they stay at their position (this is also why it is important to only have transition set on ng-animate).
Alternatively to the example you could also do a transform: scaleY(0) on the deleted item and only transform: translateY() the siblings.
Caveat
Note that this snippet has trouble when multiple elements are removed in quick succession (before the previous animation has completed).
This can be fixed by having an animation time faster than the time a user takes to delete another item or by doing some more work on the animation (out of scope of this answer).
Finally some code
Note: apparently SO breaks the demo with multiple deletes - check out the fiddle to see it in work.
angular.module('app', ['ngAnimate'])
.controller('testCtrl', ['$scope', function($scope) {
var self = this;
self.items = [];
var i = 65;
for(; i < 72; i++)
{
self.items.push({ value: String.fromCharCode(i) });
}
self.addItem = function()
{
self.items.push({ value: String.fromCharCode(i) });
i++;
}
self.removeItemAt = function(index)
{
self.items.splice(index, 1);
}
}])
li
{
height: 48px;
width: 300px;
border: 1px solid lightgrey;
background-color: white;
position: relative;
list-style: none;
}
li.ng-enter,
li.ng-enter ~ li {
transform: translateY(-100%);
}
li.ng-enter.ng-enter-active,
li.ng-enter.ng-enter-active ~ li {
transform: translateY(0);
}
li.ng-animate {
z-index: -1;
}
li.ng-animate,
li.ng-animate ~ li {
transition: transform 0.6s;
}
li.ng-leave,
li.ng-leave ~ li {
transform: translateY(0);
}
li.ng-leave.ng-leave-active,
li.ng-leave.ng-leave-active ~ li {
transform: translateY(-100%);
}

Chrome update, AngularJS issue

I'm working on a kind of a big AngularJS project. After updating Google Chrome to version 33.0.1750.117, ng-show makes the whole page to blink. I mean, when it becames true, before the div becames visible (even if it's a small div) the whole page blinks. And in many cases it blinks every time I toggle ng-show between true and false (with a toggle button).
Before the update it worked just fine. In firefox and Opera it still works as it should.
I tried with ng-cloak but I think is has nothing to do.
BTW, I'm using ng-animate. This is the code:
.animate_fade {
-webkit-transition: linear 0.2s all;
-moz-transition: linear 0.2s all;
-ms-transition: linear 0.2s all;
-o-transition: linear 0.2s all;
transition: linear 0.2s all;
}
.animate_fade.ng-hide-add,
.animate_fade.ng-hide-remove {
display:block!important;
}
.animate_fade.ng-hide-add {
opacity:1;
}
.animate_fade.ng-hide-add-active {
opacity:0;
}
.animate_fade.ng-hide-remove {
opacity:0;
}
.animate_fade.ng-hide-remove-active {
opacity:1;
}
Any clue?
Thanks in advance,
Bruno.
instead ng-show use ng-if. ng-if will bound HTML based on condition so there wont be any issues.
