Here's that @CodePen link! 🚀 Tap the page to toggle the layout 👇 Trigonometric functions in CSS are currently supported in Safari and Firefox. They should land in Chrome 111 🤞 What else could you use them for? 🧐

@CodePen Wait what, this wasn't even on my list of css features to wait for.

@CodePen Ha – A little gift from CSS 🎁 I'm kinda excited to see all the interesting ways people might use it. I've got a few ideas lined up when I can sit down with it.

Imam Syed3 years ago

@CodePen For me I will mostly use them for Designing loaders, and snake games. I don't see much of use case as of now.. Need to take shower to generate new ideas.💡

@CodePen This might be one of the coolest and most helpful tweets I've seen in a bit.

@CodePen Also nice to see `translate` instead of `transform: translate()`

@CodePen Now this looks something fun to play with.

CSS Trick ⚡️ (˗ˏˋ rogie ˎˊ˗ challenge edition 🤙) You can create this secret code reveal with only CSS using :has() and trig functions 🔥 .digit::hover + .digit, .digit:has(+ .digit:hover) { --active: var(--lerp-1); } :root { --lerp-1: calc(sin(50deg)); } .digit { scale: calc(var(--active) + 0.5); } There are a couple of moving parts. The first thing we can do is set up a scale. :root { --lerp-0: 1; /* === sin(90deg) */ --lerp-1: calc(sin(50deg)); --lerp-2: calc(sin(45deg)); --lerp-3: calc(sin(35deg)); --lerp-4: calc(sin(25deg)); --lerp-5: calc(sin(15deg)); } The digit styles define scale and blur. They also dictate the transition duration .digit { transition: scale calc(((1 - var(--active, 0)) + 0.2) * 1s); } When a digit is hovered, then you can set the --active custom property based on the digit position 🤙 The digit that is hovered. .digit:hover { --active: var(--lerp-0); } And the digit on either side of that hovered digit .digit:is(:hover, :focus-visible) + .digit, .digit:has(+ .digit:is(:hover, :focus-visible)) { --active: var(--lerp-1); } We can select the previous sibling using :has() and the next sibling with the sibling combinator (+) And that's it! ⭐️ That's how you create these hover scale interactions with CSS 🙌 We're jus' waiting on Firefox for :has() support.

CSS Tip! ✨ You can create icon sprite animations using the steps() animation-timing function 🤙 You could use this to create little icon button animations, etc. 😎 But how do you do it? Like this 👇 button img { object-fit: cover; object-position: 0 0; } The image is a sprite strip of the frames in the animation. To animate the frames, you do something like this: [aria-pressed=true] img { animation: play 0.5s steps(20) forwards; } @ keyframes play { to { object-position: 100% 0; } } We are toggling aria-pressed in our scripts to show a pressed state and we can then fire the animation to play our sprite 🎉 Check out the video that breaks things down a little bit CodePen.IO link blow! 👇

Future CSS Tip! ⚡️ You can combine CSS :has() & :user-valid/:user-invalid to power micro interactions 😍 No JavaScript. Watch for the little animations ✨ label { --color: var(--default); color: var(--color); border-color: var(--color); } .group:has(:user-valid) { --color: var(--valid); } .group:not(:focus-within):has(:user-invalid) { --color: var(--invalid); } These new pseudo-elements only fire once an input has been interacted with. This means you don't need to do things like the "transparent :placeholder-shown" hack from before 🙌 Then you can lean into the power of scoped custom properties and change the theme based on the status of a form group 😎 It's a nice little touch.

Future CSS Tip! 📜 You can create these landing page effects with CSS scroll-driven animations and zero JavaScript 🔥 Blurred text on exit? 👀 @keyframes fade { to { opacity: 0; filter: blur(2rem); } } h2 { animation: fade; animation-timeline: view(); animation-range: cover 40% cover 85%; } Lots of treats in this one! ✨ How about the circular shape on scroll? That's an animated clip-path 😮 @keyframes unclip { to { clip-path: ellipse(220% 200% at 50% 175%); } } Create a clip-path with a large size that's offset vertically. On scroll, animate it in ⭐️ .content { clip-path: ellipse(220% 200% at 50% 300%); animation: unclip both linear; animation-timeline: --article; animation-range: entry; } That second section combines unclipping with scaling down an image at the same time 🤓 Using the same animation-timeline 🫶 @keyframes scale-down { 0% { scale: 5; } } img { animation: scale-down; animation-timeline: --article; 👈 animation-range: entry; } Every section gets a scoped view-timeline of --article.

CSS Tip! 📜 You can create scroll-driven micro-interactions with animation-timeline and custom properties 🔥 .search { animation: shrink; animation-timeline: scroll(); animation-range: 0 calc(var(--header-height) * 0.5); } @keyframes shrink { to { width: calc(100% - var(--button-size); } } The --header-height is being used to dictate the container height for the header.

CSS Tip! 💪 You can create these tab controls with CSS :has() + radio buttons ✨ .tabs:has(input:nth-of-type(3)) { --count: 3; } .tabs:has(:checked:nth-of-type(3)) { --active: 2; } .tabs::after { translate: calc(var(--active, 0) * 100%) 0; width: calc(100% / var(--count)); } Two CSS :has() tricks here combined with a rendering trick 🤙 The tab control is a container using display: grid. You can use :has() to count the number of tabs in the container: .tabs:has(input:nth-of-type(3)) { --count: 3; } .tabs:has(input:nth-of-type(4)) { --count: 4; } Using the cascade, the last valid :has() gives you the number of tabs 🫶 Once you know the number of tabs, you know how to size the indicator: .tabs::after { content: ""; position: absolute; height: 100%; width: calc(100% / var(--count)); } It's a pseudoelement that uses --count to determine its size 📏 The next :has() trick is determining which tab is active or :checked as it's an input [type=radio] .tabs:has(:checked:nth-of-type(2)) { --active: 1; } .tabs:has(:checked:nth-of-type(3)) { --active: 2; } You can use a zero-indexed translation here. If the second input is :checked, set --active: 1, then translate the pseudoelement on the tabs to that position 👉 .tabs::after { translate: calc(var(--active, 0) * 100%) 0; } The last rendering trick is using mix-blend-mode 👀 The tabs have a black background-color, the pseudoelement is white, and the label text is white. When you use mix-blend-mode: difference on the pseudoelement it will give this effect that the text transitions from white to black sliding across 😎 .tabs::after { color: hsl(0 0% 100%); mix-blend-mode: difference; } You can totally mix up the colors here though and go with a different effect. The mechanics of how you can use CSS :has() is the main point here 🙏 As always, any questions, suggestions, etc. let me know CodePen.IO link below! 👇 (There's even a Tailwind CSS play for this one too 👀)

Well, we're animating a custom property value using @ property. @ property --fill { initial-value: 0; syntax: ' '; inherits: true; } Then the trick is background clipping the text and filling it with a multiline background by animating the background-position to fill the text 🤓 span { background-position-x: calc(-100vmax + (var(--progress) * 100vmax)); background-clip: text; color: transparent; } CodePen.IO link below 👇

$CSS Tip! 💫 You can create this responsive perspective warp animation with 3D CSS and container queries ✨ (Video reveals trick 👀) .warp { container-type: size; perspective: 100px; transform-style: preserve-3d; resize: both; overflow: hidden; } Couple of tricks in this one 🤓 The main idea is to create a tunnel (an open-ended cube). On each side of the tunnel, use linear-gradient to create the grid lines ✨ .side { background: linear-gradient(#fff 0 1px, transparent 1px 5%) 50% 0 / 5% 5%, linear-gradient(90deg, #fff 0 1px, transparent 1px 5%) 50% 50% / 5% 5%; } To position each side, you rotate on the x-axis by 90deg. Each side would become invisible at this point. So you give the scene perspective 😉 .warp__side--top { width: 100cqi; height: 100cqmax; transform-origin: 50% 0%; transform: rotateX(-90deg); } The cool part here is that you want to make each side the same height. But the container is responsive. So you can use a container query and make sure each side is 100cqmax tall 🫶 Then the "beams". Each side contains "beams". They have different colors, sizes, and positions, and move at different speeds ⚡️ We can control that through scoped custom properties. .beam { width: 5%; position: absolute; top: 0; left: calc(var(--x, 0) * 5%); aspect-ratio: 1 / 2; background: linear-gradient( hsl(var(--hue) 80% 60%), transparent ); translate: 0 100%; animation: warp calc(var(--speed, 0) * 1s) calc(var(--delay, 0) * -1s) infinite linear; } The magic here is though that a beam's animation is as basic as translating it from the top of the side to the bottom. And you can get that distance with a container query again 🔥 @keyframes warp { 0% { translate: -50% 100cqmax; } 100% { translate: -50% -100%; } } And that is pretty much it!

They have different colors, sizes, and positions, and move at different speeds ⚡️ We can control that through scoped custom properties. .beam { width: 5%; position: absolute; top: 0; left: calc(var(--x, 0) * 5%); aspect-ratio: 1 / 2; background: linear-gradient( hsl(var(--hue) 80% 60%), transparent ); translate: 0 100%; animation: warp calc(var(--speed, 0) * 1s) calc(var(--delay, 0) * -1s) infinite linear; } The magic here is though that a beam's animation is as basic as translating it from the top of the side to the bottom. And you can get that distance with a container query again 🔥 @keyframes warp { 0% { translate: -50% 100cqmax; } 100% { translate: -50% -100%; } } And that is pretty much it! A cool warp animation effect using 3D CSS and container queries ⚡️ If you have any questions, let me know ᵔᴥᵔ CodePen.IO link below! 👇

CSS Trick 🧲 You can create magnetic links with the power of custom properties and some JavaScript 💪 a { translate: calc(clamp(-1, var(--x), 1) * var(--pad-x)) ...; transition: translate var(--s, 1s) var(--ease, var(--elastic)); } a:hover { --s: 0s; } The trick here is to pad out the list items wrapping your links and use that as a translation limit 🛑 Start by using some JavaScript to calculate a value between -1 and 1 for both the x/y axis on pointermove for each list item, not the link! 🔗 If your pointer was at the center of the item, you'd get [0,0]. If it was in the top right, you'd get [1,-1] ☝️ It's worth checking out the JavaScript snippet to see how the mapping function works. Essentially, you create a function that when given a value between two bounds, will give you a mapped value back 🤙 const mapX = mapRange( item.offsetWidth * -0.5, item.offsetWidth * 0.5, 1, -1 ) Then, on pointermove, you plug the pointer position in to get the value back out and pass that into your CSS const x = mapX(item.centerX - event.x) document.documentElement.style.setProperty(--x, x) When the pointer leaves the list item, you make sure to reset these values back to 0 ✨ Once CSS has your values, it's the trick of updating the translation of each part You know that in each axis, you only want to translate the link by the padding amount li a { translate: calc(clamp(-1, var(--x), 1) * var(--pad-x)) calc(clamp(-1, var(--y), 1) * var(--pad-y)); transition: translate var(--speed, 1s) var(--ease, var(--elastic)); } This will translate the link within the list item by the desired amount. The cool part here is that you can set an offset for the text inside the link and have that move at a different rate ⭐️ By only updating the --pad-x/y custom properties for the inside the link, you can control how much it moves nav a span { --pad-x: 0.25rem; --pad-y: 0.25rem; } And the last piece, how do you update the behavior for transition speeds? And so it springs back like that? Again, use custom properties ✨ a:hover { --s: 0s; } a { transition: translate var(--s, 1s) var(--ease, var(--elastic)); } By default, a link will use --elastic easing via linear() and have a transition-duration of 1s. When a link is hovered that speed becomes 0s because you want the link to magnetise to your pointer. How about that little gap between when your pointer enters the item but hasn't hovered the link? Set a different transition so it transitions to being hovered 🫶 nav li:hover a { --ease: ease-out; --speed: 0.1s; } That's kinda it! 🙌 Use JavaScript (~40 loc) to get the information and then let CSS do all the lifting for you 💪 Any questions or suggestions, let me know 🙏 If you want a walkthrough video, also let me know please 🙏 CodePen.IO link below 👇

CSS Trick 📜 You can trigger text highlights on scroll with scroll-driven animations 😎 mark { animation: highlight; animation-timeline: view(); } @keyframes highlight { to { --lit: 1; }} mark span { background-position: calc(var(--lit) * -110%) 0; transition: background 1s; } The trick is using a scroll-driven animation to flip a custom property on a element 🎚️ You flip the value between 0 and 1, and that transitions the background position of the element mark { --lit: 0; animation: highlight steps(1) both; animation-timeline: view(); animation-range: entry 100% cover 10%; } The background has to be applied on a child of the mark to see the change in the custom property 👀 mark span { background: linear-gradient( 120deg, yellow 50%, transparent 50%) 110% 0 / 220% 100% no-repeat; background-position: calc(var(--lit) * 110%) 0; transition: background-position 1s; } The trick is to set the background-size so that it's bigger than the element and then split the background-color in the middle using a linear-gradient 🤙 And the property flips fills in the color 🫶 That's it! If there isn't support for scroll-driven animations, use JavaScript's IntersectionObserver API. The code for this is in the demo 😎 Cool example of using CSS as an IntersectionObserver!

CSS Tip! 🚥 You can create these trending expanding scroll indicators with scroll-driven animations and flex 🤙 .indicator { animation: grow; animation-range: contain calc(50% - var(--size)...; animation-timeline: var(--card); } @keyframes grow { 50% { flex: 3; }} What's the trick? Put the indicators in a container using flex layout and set a width larger than the number of indicators 😉 .indicators { aspect-ratio: 7 / 1; display: flex; } Importantly, set no gap 🤏 To mimic the gap set a transparent border on each indicator and set the background using padding-box .indicator { background: linear-gradient(#fff, #fff) padding-box; border-radius: 50px; border: 4px solid transparent; } Now for the animation. You want to create a view-timeline for each card that moves across 🤙 li:nth-of-type(1) { view-timeline: --one inline; } li:nth-of-type(2) { view-timeline: --two inline; } Make sure they use the inline axis too! The trick is hoisting these view-timeline so the indicators can use them with timeline-scope 👀 .track { timeline-scope: --one, --two, ...; } All that's left is for you to create the animation piece using some calc with the card size ⚡️ .indicator { --size: calc(var(--card-width) * 0.9); animation: grow both linear; animation-range: contain calc(50% - var(--size)) contain calc(50% + var(--size)); } .indicator:nth-of-type(1) { animation-timeline: --one; } .indicator:nth-of-type(2) { animation-timeline: --two; } @keyframes grow { 50% { flex: 3; }} And there you have it, responsive scroll indicators using CSS scroll-driven animations 😎 Sprinkle a little JavaScript to make them clickable and scroll the the right card ✨ const shift = (event) => { if (event.target.tagName === "BUTTON") { const index = [...event.target.parentNode.children].indexOf(event.target); const item = document.querySelector(`li:nth-of-type(${index + 1})`); item.scrollIntoView({ behavior: "smooth", inline: "center" }); } }; As always, any questions or suggestions, let me know.

CSS Tip! 🍬 You can create a CSS-only sticky CTA using position: sticky or scroll-driven animations 🤙 .cta { position: sticky; margin-top: 110vh; bottom: 2rem; /* 👈 Stick! */ } This is one way 👀 This first way relies on you setting a layout on the body and putting the CTA in a zero-space part of the layout body { display: grid; grid-template-columns: auto 0; } The children of the body are an element with your content and then the CTA. You could also use display:flex too. .content { flex: 1 0 100%; } .cta { place-self: end; } As you scroll the body, the CTA comes into view and sticks in position 🙌 That's one way. If you want to take it further and do something like flip between showing or not, maybe scale it up, or add some special easing, etc. an animation is another way 📜 First, change the styles for your CTA. Note the translate property that's powered by a custom property .cta { position: fixed; bottom: 2rem; right: 2rem; translate: 0 calc(20vh - (var(--show) * 20vh)); transition: translate 0.875s var(--elastic); } Next you need a custom property that you're going to animate @property --show { inherits: true; initial-value: 0; syntax: ' '; } Lastly, you animate this value on the body. As the property value changes, the value will trickle down to the CTA @supports (animation-timeline: scroll()) { body { animation: show-cta both steps(1); animation-timeline: scroll(root); animation-range: 0 10vh; } @keyframes show-cta { to { --show: 1; } } } Using @supports you can use this as a progressive enhancement. If scroll-driven animations are supported, use them. Otherwise fallback to using position: sticky 🤙 That's it! As always, any questions or requests, hit me up! 🙏 CodePen.IO link below! 👇

$Future CSS Tip! 🍏 You can create that Apple style blow out text effect with CSS scroll-driven animations ⚡️ No JavaScript! The trick is to animate SVG text along the z-axis using 3D transforms 👀 .word { animation: blow-out both ease-in; animation-timeline: --section; 👈 animation-range: exit-crossing 10% exit 0%; } keyframes blow-out { to { transform: translate3d(0.05ch, 0, 99vh); } } The animation makes the text cover the viewport and blends into the next section which has the same background-color 🤙 The section is set to 200vh. But the wrapper around the SVG text defines perspective and transform-style .section__content { transform-style: preserve-3d; 👈 perspective: 100vh; } We're using an SVG to maintain the crispness of the text as it scales up ✨ Use these attributes on the within the SVG to align things 🤙 Your Name It's the last day of #AppleEvent week but I do have some more of these I'll put together next week 😉 CodePen.IO link below! 👇$

CSS Trick! 🎃 You can create a wavey border for elements by layering masks 🎭 Used to create this ghost! 👻 Check the video for an exploding view 🫶 .👻 { --size: 20px; mask: radial-gradient(var(--size) at bottom, transparent 97%, #000), radial-gradient(var(--size) at 25% 50%, #000 97%, transparent); mask-repeat: repeat-x; mask-size: calc(2 * var(--size)) 100%, calc(4 * var(--size)) calc(2 * var(--size)); mask-position: 50% calc(100% - var(--size)), calc(50% - var(--size)) 99%; } That code looks kinda scary! 👻 This is one way you could do things. Check the video again or explode in the demo. One mask cuts out circles from the bottom of the element. The other adds overlaid circles back. And that overlap creates the wavey line you want for the ghost 🤙 Using a custom property you can write once and not have to touch again. Update the custom property to update the wave size as shown in the video 🎬 The last piece of the puzzle is animating the mask-position to create that animation @ keyframes flow { to { mask-position: calc(50% + (var(--size) * 4)) calc(100% - var(--size)), calc((50% - var(--size)) + (var(--size) * 4)) 99%; } } If you play with the demo, you may find some Easter eggs!
