KeyframeEffect: getKeyframes() method
Baseline Widely available
This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since March 2020.
The getKeyframes()
method of a KeyframeEffect
returns an Array of the computed keyframes that make up this animation along with their computed offsets.
Syntax
getKeyframes()
Parameters
None.
Return value
Returns a sequence of objects with the following format:
- property value pairs
-
As many property value pairs as are contained in each keyframe of the animation.
offset
-
The offset of the keyframe specified as a number between
0.0
and1.0
inclusive ornull
. This is equivalent to specifying start and end states in percentages in CSS stylesheets using@keyframes
. This will benull
if the keyframe is automatically spaced. computedOffset
-
The computed offset for this keyframe, calculated when the list of computed keyframes was produced. Unlike
offset
, above, thecomputedOffset
is nevernull
. easing
-
The easing function used from this keyframe until the next keyframe in the series.
composite
-
The
KeyframeEffect.composite
operation used to combine the values specified in this keyframe with the underlying value. This will be absent if the composite operation specified on the effect is being used.
Examples
In the following example, we can inspect the rolling animation to see its keyframes using the getKeyframes()
method:
const emoji = document.querySelector("div"); // element to animate
const rollingKeyframes = new KeyframeEffect(
emoji,
[
{ transform: "translateX(0) rotate(0)" }, // keyframe
{ transform: "translateX(200px) rotate(1.3turn)" }, // keyframe
],
{
// keyframe options
duration: 2000,
direction: "alternate",
easing: "ease-in-out",
iterations: "Infinity",
},
);
const rollingAnimation = new Animation(rollingKeyframes, document.timeline);
rollingAnimation.play();
// Array [ {…}, {…} ]
console.log(rollingAnimation.effect.getKeyframes());
<div>🤣</div>
