Question 1

How to install Animate.scss with npm or yarn?

Accepted Answer

The README only mentions Bower, which is outdated. For modern setups, you might need to manually download or use a package manager that supports GitHub repos, as it's not listed on npm. Check the GitHub page for alternative installation methods or forks.

Question 2

Animate.scss vs Animate.css: which should I use?

Accepted Answer

Use Animate.scss if you're working with Sass and need customizable mixins for fine-tuned control; otherwise, Animate.css is better for quick, drop-in CSS classes without build steps. Animate.scss offers more flexibility but adds preprocessing overhead.

Question 3

How to change animation speed or duration in Animate.scss?

Accepted Answer

Use the mixin parameters like $duration in your Sass code—for example, @include bounce($duration: 2s); adjusts the animation timing. Refer to the README's usage section for all customizable options such as delay and iteration count.

Question 4

Can I use Animate.scss with React or Vue components?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but it requires integrating Sass into your build process. For React, use CSS modules or inline styles with the compiled classes; for Vue, import the SCSS files in your components or global styles. It's CSS-based, so it works with any framework that supports CSS.

Question 5

Is Animate.scss actively maintained or updated?

Accepted Answer

The README suggests it's a personal project with casual maintenance; check GitHub for recent commits or issues. Since it's a port of Animate.css, updates may depend on community contributions, so it might lag behind the original library.

Question 6

How to add my own custom animations to Animate.scss?

Accepted Answer

Follow the contributing guidelines: match the file structure and naming conventions, then submit a pull request with a CodePen demo. The README mentions being open to new animations, but you'll need to edit the SCSS files directly.
