Hover and out on elements to animate another

[gbrl 2 Likes (Newbie)]

Hello !

 

The summary : I would like to create an animation when I hover an element in a list.

My codepen : 

 

On hover on the <li>, I get the index of this and I animate the element with the same index in another <div>.

My codepen works but when I hover the elements quickly, the animation is broken.

 

I found this codepen : 

See the Pen emxWYb by MAW (@MAW) on CodePen

But this only works for elements in the items hover.

 

How I can I do a nice animation ?

 

Thanks a lot !

Hi @gbrl, you were pretty close! For these types of one-on-one interactions, it's often easier just to build a tween to respond rather than build out a timeline.

 

Here is a CodePen showing what I mean. Also, animating top (and/or left) is perfectly fine, but performance is better if you animate the x/y properties since these use CSS translate.

Hope this helps!

Hi,

 

Here's a suggestion for an alternative concept ...

 

With a quick mouse movement it feels more comfortable - so my feeling, when the 'last / previous' motif runs out of the window upwards.
This example with 'mouseenter' and the 'last' motif remains in its position.

Happy tweening ...
