Question 1

How do I add Animate.less to my Bootstrap project?

Accepted Answer

Import the animate.less file into your bootstrap.less using @import, then apply the 'animated' class with animation names like 'fadeIn' to HTML elements. This integrates directly with Bootstrap's LESS structure for seamless use.

Question 2

Can I use Animate.less without Bootstrap?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but it's optimized for Bootstrap; using it standalone requires LESS compilation and might not be as smooth. The library assumes Bootstrap's setup, so you'll need to adapt the LESS imports manually.

Question 3

Animate.less vs animate.css: which should I choose?

Accepted Answer

Animate.less is animate.css converted to LESS, ideal if you're using LESS and Bootstrap for easy integration. Animate.css is the vanilla CSS version, better for projects without a preprocessor or if you prefer plain CSS.

Question 4

How to change animation speed in Animate.less?

Accepted Answer

Use the LESS variable @animationDurationTime to set default duration, or override CSS properties with vendor prefixes on specific elements, as detailed in the editing section of the README.

Question 5

Does Animate.less work with React or Vue?

Accepted Answer

It can be used by dynamically adding CSS classes, but it's not designed for these frameworks. For better performance and integration, consider libraries like Framer Motion or Vue Transition for native support.

Question 6

How to fix the Safari flip animation bug?

Accepted Answer

The README suggests adding 'overflow: hidden' to the parent div to address display glitches in Safari on OS X 10.8. This is a known workaround specifically for the flipper animations.
