CSSAnimation: animationName property

Baseline Widely available

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since September 2015.

The animationName property of the CSSAnimation interface returns the animation-name. This specifies one or more keyframe at-rules which describe the animation applied to the element.

Value

A string.

Examples

Returning the animationName

The animation in the following example is defined in CSS with the name slide-in. Calling Element.getAnimations() returns an array of all Animation objects. The animationName property returns the name given to the animation, in our case slide-in.

css
.animate {
  animation: slide-in 0.7s both;
}

@keyframes slide-in {
  0% {
    transform: translateY(-1000px);
  }
  100% {
    transform: translateY(0);
  }
}
js
let animations = document.querySelector(".animate").getAnimations();
console.log(animations[0].animationName);
