Introduction

Today I would like to give examples of good GitHub repositories that will help you implement complex animations, as well as useful functions in your projects.

So let's get started

1. Lottie-Web/Bodymovin

GitHub logo airbnb / lottie-web

Render After Effects animations natively on Web, Android and iOS, and React Native. http://airbnb.io/lottie/

Lottie for Web, Android, iOS, React Native, and Windows

Lottie is a mobile library for Web, and iOS that parses Adobe After Effects animations exported as json with Bodymovin and renders them natively on mobile!

For the first time, designers can create and ship beautiful animations without an engineer painstakingly recreating it by hand. They say a picture is worth 1,000 words so here are 13,000:

Plugin installation

Option 1 (Recommended):

Download it from from aescripts + aeplugins: http://aescripts.com/bodymovin/

Option 2:

Or get it from the adobe store https://creative.adobe.com/addons/products/12557 CC 2014 and up.

Other installation options:

Option 3:

  • download the ZIP from the repo.
  • Extract content and get the .zxp file from '/build/extension'
  • Use the ZXP installer from aescripts.com.

Option 4:

  • Close After Effects

  • Extract the zipped file on build/extension/bodymovin.zxp to the adobe CEP folder:
    WINDOWS:
    C:\Program Files

I want to start with my favorite repository. With this library, you can export the animation you created from Adobe After Effects directly to your website.

2. Parallax.js

GitHub logo wagerfield / parallax

Parallax Engine that reacts to the orientation of a smart device

Parallax.js

CDNJS

Parallax Engine that reacts to the orientation of a smart device. Where no gyroscope or motion detection hardware is available, the position of the cursor is used instead.

Check out the demo to see it in action!

Table of Contents

1. Getting started

1.1 Installation

1.1 a) Using the CDN

  1. Add <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/parallax/3.1.0/parallax.min.js"></script> to your markup
  2. Done!

Many thanks to the fine folks over at cdnjs for hosting our library.

1.1 b) Beginners

  1. Head over to the releases Section
  2. Download compiled.zip from the latest release
  3. Extract the ZIP archive and locate the parallax.js and parallax.min.js files
    • Use parallax.js if you want to snoop around in the code
    • Use…

With this library, you can create a beautiful parallax effect that you can control with the mouse movement. You can also adjust the speed of moving objects.

3. Flat Surface Shader [FSS]

GitHub logo wagerfield / flat-surface-shader

Flat Surface Shader for rendering illuminated triangles

Flat Surface Shader [FSS]

Simple, lightweight Flat Surface Shader written in JavaScript for rendering lit Triangles to a number of contexts. Currently there is support for WebGL, Canvas 2D and SVG. Check out this demo to see it in action.

Understanding Lighting

Simply put, FSS uses the Lambertian Reflectance model to calculate the color of a Triangle based on an array of Light sources within a Scene.

Light

A Light is composed of a 3D position Vector and 2 Color objects defining its ambient & diffuse emissions. These color channels interact with the Material of a Mesh to calculate the color of a Triangle.

Triangle

A Triangle is constructed from 3 Vertices which each define the x, y and z coordinates of a corner. Based on these 3 Vertices, a forth 3D Vector is automatically derived at the center of the Triangle – this is…

5. Video.js Markers

GitHub logo spchuang / videojs-markers

Displays customizable markers upon progress bars of videojs players

Not actively maintained anymore.

Video.js Markers

Alt text

A plugin that displays customizable markers upon progress bars of the video with Video.js. This could be used to show video breaks and show overlaid text on the video when playback reaches the specific break point.

Demo and Documentation

See here

JSBin Demo can be found here

Features

  • Display markers on progress bar, with hover-over tooltips
  • Display break overlays
  • Flexible styling
  • Support dynamically adding and removing markers

Download

  • Download master with git -- git clone git@github.com:spchuang/videojs-markers.git

  • Download zip/tar files for newest release

  • Download through bower -- bower install videojs-markers

Quick Start

Add the 'videojs.markers.js' plugin and stylesheet after including videojs script

<link href="http://vjs.zencdn.net/4.2/video-js.css" rel="stylesheet">
<link href="videojs.markers.css" rel="stylesheet">
<script src="http://vjs.zencdn.net/4.2/video.js"></script>
<script src='../src/videojs.markers.js'></script>

Magic Grid Tweet

A simple, lightweight Javascript library for dynamic grid layouts.

Creating a dynamic grid layout has never been easier. With Magic Grid, all you have to do is specify a container and listen for changes. A few other configuration options are available for convenience but it's all very simple. Check it out live on JSFIDDLE. You can read about the implementation details on CodeBurst.

Note: Every item in the grid must have the same width.

Sample Usage

demo

Why not CSS Grid?

This question is addressed in the article:

Implementing a grid layout can quickly turn into a tricky task. If you have grid items that are always the same height, then you can probably make do with a Flexbox grid or some other CSS grid implementation. However, if you’re dealing with user-generated content, chances are, you don’t have the luxury of equal height components. One longer…

This library will help you create an adaptive grid, where you do not have to create separate @media styles. Just specify the container and that's it.

Demos

What does this library try to solve?

For 95% of use-cases of animating components, we don't have to resort to using hard-coded easing curves and duration. Set up a stiffness and damping for your UI element, and let the magic of physics take care of the rest. This way, you don't have to worry about petty situations such as interrupted animation behavior. It also greatly simplifies the API.

17. SVG Mesh 3d

GitHub logo mattdesl / svg-mesh-3d

🚀 converts a SVG path to a 3D mesh

svg-mesh-3d

stable

[

](http://mattdesl.github.io/svg-mesh-3d/)

(ThreeJS demo) - (source)

A high-level module to convert a SVG <path> string into a 3D triangulated mesh. Best suited for silhouettes, like font icon SVGs.

Built on top of cdt2d by @mikolalysenko, and various other modules.

Install

npm install svg-mesh-3d --save
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Example

Here is an example using a simple path:

var svgMesh3d = require('svg-mesh-3d')
var path = 'M305.214,374.779c2.463,0,3.45,0.493...'
var mesh = svgMesh3d(path)
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

The returned mesh is a 3D indexed "simplicial complex" that can be used in ThreeJS, StackGL, etc. It uses arrays for vectors and follows the format:

{
  positions: [ [x1, y1, z1], [x2, y2, z2], ... ],
  cells: [ [a, b, c], [d, e, f] ]
}

Hello world demo

Create 3D models with Zdog by adding shapes. See Getting started for a walk-through of this demo.

let isSpinning = true;
let illo = new Zdog.Illustration({
  element: '.zdog-canvas',
  zoom: 4,
  dragRotate: true,
  // stop spinning when drag starts
  onDragStart: function() {
    isSpinning = false;
  },
});

// circle
new Zdog.Ellipse({
  addTo: illo,
  diameter: 20,
  translate: { z: 10 },
  stroke: 5,
  color: '#636',
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

With this library, you can create pseudo-3d elements, while you do not need to know geometry or algebra to create geometric shapes. This library is very easy to learn and learning will not take you much time.

The End

Thank you for taking your time to my post. You can also recommend the GitHub repositories you use. Or suggest a better alternative to the repositories that are presented in this post.

I also advise novice frontend programmers not to try to implement some complex task on their own, but it is better to use a ready-made solution so as not to generate a lot of problems in their own and third-party projects.

No need to re-invent the wheel.
