Lesson 19: Bootstrap Animations & Transitions

📌 Objective: Learn how to use Bootstrap’s built-in animations, transitions, and CSS utilities to create smooth effects in UI elements.


🔹 1. Introduction to Bootstrap Animations & Transitions

Bootstrap provides CSS-based animations and transitions to enhance user experience without requiring JavaScript.

💡 Why Use Bootstrap Animations & Transitions?
✔️ Smooth UI experience – Enhances visibility of elements.
✔️ No extra JavaScript needed – Uses pure CSS for effects.
✔️ Lightweight and fast – Optimized for performance.


🔹 2. Bootstrap CSS Transitions

Transitions allow smooth changes between two states (e.g., hover effects).

Example: Button with Smooth Hover Effect

html
<style>
.btn-hover-effect {
transition: all 0.3s ease-in-out;
}
.btn-hover-effect:hover {
background-color: darkblue;
color: white;
transform: scale(1.1);
}
</style>

<button class="btn btn-primary btn-hover-effect">Hover Me</button>

🔹 What happens?

  • When hovering over the button, it changes color and grows slightly.

🔹 3. Bootstrap Fade & Slide Animations

Bootstrap includes built-in classes for fading and sliding effects.

1️⃣ Fading In & Out

Example: Fade-In Effect

html
<button class="btn btn-success" onclick="document.getElementById('fadeBox').classList.toggle('show');">
Toggle Fade
</button>

<div id="fadeBox" class="alert alert-warning fade">
This box will fade in and out.
</div>

🔹 What happens?

  • Clicking the button fades the box in and out.

2️⃣ Sliding Elements

Example: Slide Down Animation

html
<style>
.slide-down {
max-height: 0;
overflow: hidden;
transition: max-height 0.5s ease-in-out;
}
.slide-down.show {
max-height: 200px;
}
</style>

<button class="btn btn-info" onclick="document.getElementById('slideBox').classList.toggle('show');">
Toggle Slide
</button>

<div id="slideBox" class="alert alert-primary slide-down">
This box will slide down.
</div>

🔹 What happens?

  • Clicking the button slides the box down smoothly.

🔹 4. Bootstrap Spinner Animations

Bootstrap provides prebuilt loading spinners.

Example: Basic Loading Spinner

html
<div class="spinner-border text-primary" role="status">
<span class="visually-hidden">Loading...</span>
</div>

🔹 What happens?

  • A spinning loader appears to indicate loading.

1️⃣ Growing Spinner

Example: Growing Spinner

html
<div class="spinner-grow text-danger" role="status">
<span class="visually-hidden">Loading...</span>
</div>

🔹 What happens?

  • The spinner grows and shrinks continuously.

🔹 5. Bootstrap Animate-On-Scroll

You can use Bootstrap’s visibility utilities to trigger animations on scroll.

Example: Fade-In on Scroll

html
<style>
.fade-scroll {
opacity: 0;
transform: translateY(20px);
transition: opacity 0.5s ease, transform 0.5s ease;
}
.fade-scroll.visible {
opacity: 1;
transform: translateY(0);
}
</style>

<div class="container">
<div id="scrollBox" class="alert alert-success fade-scroll">
This box will appear when you scroll.
</div>
</div>

<script>
document.addEventListener("scroll", function () {
let element = document.getElementById("scrollBox");
let position = element.getBoundingClientRect().top;
let screenHeight = window.innerHeight;
if (position < screenHeight) {
element.classList.add("visible");
}
});
</script>

🔹 What happens?

  • The box fades in when scrolling.

🔹 6. Bootstrap Animated Modals

Example: Modal with Slide Animation

html
<!-- Button to Open Modal -->
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary" data-bs-toggle="modal" data-bs-target="#animatedModal">
Open Animated Modal
</button>

<!-- Modal -->
<div class="modal fade" id="animatedModal">
<div class="modal-dialog">
<div class="modal-content">
<div class="modal-header">
<h5 class="modal-title">Animated Modal</h5>
<button type="button" class="btn-close" data-bs-dismiss="modal"></button>
</div>
<div class="modal-body">
This modal fades in and out smoothly.
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>

🔹 What happens?

  • The modal fades in and out smoothly.

🔹 7. Bootstrap Animate Elements Using Keyframes

Example: Custom Keyframe Animation

html
<style>
@keyframes bounce {
0%, 100% { transform: translateY(0); }
50% { transform: translateY(-10px); }
}
.bouncing {
animation: bounce 0.5s infinite;
}
</style>

<button class="btn btn-warning bouncing">Bouncing Button</button>

🔹 What happens?

  • The button bounces continuously.
