Motion Path is a CSS module that allows authors to animate any graphical object along a custom path.
The idea is that when you want to animate an element moving along a path, you previously only had animating translation, position, etc. at your disposal, which wasn’t ideal and only allowed for simple movements. With
offset-pathyou can define a specific path of any shape you want. You then animate it along that path by animatingoffset-distance, and can choose to rotate it at any point usingoffset-rotate.
Code language: CSS
#motion-demo {
offset-path: path('M20,20 C20,100 200,0 200,100');
animation: move 3000ms infinite alternate ease-in-out;
width: 40px;
height: 40px;
background: cyan;
}
@keyframes move {
0% {
offset-distance: 0%;
}
100% {
offset-distance: 100%;
}
}
