Basic example

The easiest way to implement the animation is to use data-mdb-attributes. In the example below, we use the icon <i class="fas fa-car-side fa-3x"></i> and add the attributes data-mdb-toggle="animation" data-mdb-animation-reset="true" data-mdb-animation="slide-out-right" to give it animation on click.

data-mdb-toggle="animation" is an obligatory attribute for each animation.

data-mdb-animation-reset="true" lets you decide if the animation can be repeated

data-mdb-animation="slide-right" lets you specify which animation apply to the element. In the demo section above you can find available animations.

Click the car to start the animation.

Launch options

There are several options for launching the animation.

On click

Animation on click is a default launching option, so it does not require any data-mdb-attribute.

On hover

Use data-mdb-animation-start="onHover" to launch the animation on mouse hover.

On Load

Use data-mdb-animation-start="onLoad" to start the animation after loading the page. Refresh your browser to see this effect.

Manually

Use data-mdb-animation-start="manually" to initialize the component without animating, adding hover, clicking or scrolling events and use the animationStart method when you want to start the animation.

On scroll

Use data-mdb-animation-start="onScroll" to launch the animation when you scroll the page and reach the element.

Notice that the animation will launch only once - even if you reach it when scrolling multiple times.

Repeat animation on scroll

If you want to launch the animation every time it's reached when scrolling use data-mdb-animation-on-scroll="repeat".

Show on load

If you use animation onScroll, by default all elements are visible when the page is loaded. They disappear and begin to animate after the first scroll. You can change this by setting data-mdb-animation-show-on-load="false". However, remember that this may have a negative impact on SEO.

Examples

Examples of practical usage of the animation.

Launching via external element

You can use the animationStart and animationStop methods to start or stop the animation at the right moment
