Question 1

How do I chain multiple animations in Between.js?

Accepted Answer

Between.js doesn't have built-in chaining. You can use the 'complete' event callback to trigger the next animation instance manually, or manage sequences with custom JavaScript logic for more control.

Question 2

Between.js vs GreenSock (GSAP): which is better for web animations?

Accepted Answer

Between.js is lighter (3KB gzip) and simpler for basic tweens, ideal for minimal projects. GSAP offers more features like timelines and plugins but is larger; choose Based.js for lightweight needs, GSAP for complex animations.

Question 3

Can Between.js animate CSS properties directly?

Accepted Answer

Yes, by interpolating object values that represent CSS properties, such as {opacity: 0} to {opacity: 1}, and applying the result to an element's style. For color animations, use the color plugin for DOM integration.

Question 4

How to install and use the color plugin in Between.js?

Accepted Answer

Install via npm or fetch from CDN, then assign it to Between._plugins.color. For example: import ColorPlugin from 'between.js/build/dom-color.between.js'; Between._plugins.color = ColorPlugin; then animate colors like 'red' to 'rgb(255,40,30)'.

Question 5

Does Between.js support Internet Explorer 11?

Accepted Answer

It's compiled to ES5 for broad browser support, but since it uses modern ES6 patterns, you may need polyfills for full IE11 compatibility. Check the README for specifics, but it's designed for modern browsers.

Question 6

What's the best way to handle easing in Between.js?

Accepted Answer

Easing functions aren't built-in; import them from the 'easing-functions' npm package. Use Between.Easing with functions like Cubic.InOut, and apply via the .easing() method for smooth transitions.
