Element: animationend event
Baseline
Widely available
This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since December 2019.
The animationend event is fired when a CSS Animation has completed. If the animation aborts before reaching completion, such as if the element is removed from the DOM or the animation is removed from the element, the animationend event is not fired.
Syntax
Use the event name in methods like addEventListener(), or set an event handler property.
js
addEventListener("animationend", (event) => { })
onanimationend = (event) => { }
Event type
An AnimationEvent. Inherits from Event.
Examples
This example gets an element that's being animated and listens for the animationend event:
js
const animated = document.querySelector(".animated");
animated.addEventListener("animationend", () => {
console.log("Animation ended");
});
The same, but using the onanimationend event handler property:
js
const animated = document.querySelector(".animated");
animated.onanimationend = () => {
console.log("Animation ended");
};
