Stagger js svg animation


I'm using vivus.js to animate an svg which is repeated multple times (as part of a php loop).

i'm looking for a way to stagger the animation, so that svg id 'hexx--0' animates first and then when complete, svg id 'hexx--1' animates and so on. The ID number is being incremented in the php loop.

I've attempted to literally chain these in a function that fires when the first animation finishes, like so:

new Vivus('hexx--0', {
  type: 'oneByOne',
  duration: 100
}, function() {

  new Vivus('hexx--1', {
    type: 'oneByOne',
    duration: 100,

  });

});

which works, but a) means the svg is visible before the animation fires and b) is messy and unmaintainable across a loop which could have an arbitrary amount of svgs.

Is it possible to increment the IDs in JavaScript, and generate the new Vivus in a loop? Below is a fiddle which replicates the issue, note that the html is being generated via a php loop in the real case.

//all animating at same time 

new Vivus('hexx--0', {
  type: 'oneByOne',
  duration: 100,

});

new Vivus('hexx--1', {
  type: 'oneByOne',
  duration: 100,

});

//attempt at staggering

new Vivus('hexx--2', {
  type: 'oneByOne',
  duration: 100
}, function() {

  new Vivus('hexx--3', {
    type: 'oneByOne',
    duration: 100,

  });

});
svg {
  stroke: #000000;
}

Solution

  • I eventually figured this out, having secured a tumbleweed badge for my troubles.

    Step 1: in JavaScript, increment the ids with a for loop:

        //increment the ids
        var i;
        for (i = 0; i < 7; i++) {
    
            new Vivus('hexx--' + i, {
                type: 'scenario-sync'
            });
        }
    

    I changed the type to 'scenario-sync' which means you can set the duration and delay using html data attributes.

    Step 2: in PHP I added the data attributes to the path like so:

    path data-delay="<?php echo $delay ?>" data-duration="<?php echo $duration ?>"
    

    and incremented the values in a php loop accordingly.
