I have a SVG path that I'm trying to animate to "draw" itself, using the stroke-dasharray
/stroke-dashoffset
combination trick (see this article for more info). However, that trick does not work on this path, despite (as far as I can tell) everything being correctly implemented. So, my question is, what have I done wrong here?
This is the path in question:
<path class="cls-1" d="M13.36,28.18c-8.06,5.19-9.74,17-4,24.91a31.38,31.38,0,0,0,3.19-4.71L34.92,9.74C38.67,3.19,44.1,0,48.65,0,65.17,0,63.9,21,47.13,26.66c16,10.62,4.47,40.4-20.36,40.4C-2.29,67.06-7.39,35.05,10,24ZM35,27.94l-2.24-.24-14,24.19a42.77,42.77,0,0,1-4.15,5.91,23.84,23.84,0,0,0,12,2.87C46.73,60.67,54.48,32,35,27.94Zm.56-5.11c8.46-.16,13.17-2,16.36-8,4.15-7.82-3.59-14-9.66-3.51Z"></path>
And the CSS (simplified for example) I'm using:
path {
stroke-dasharray: 415.9850769042969;
stroke-dashoffset: 415.9850769042969;
animation: letterB 5s linear infinite;
}
@keyframes letterB {
to {
stroke-dashoffset: 0;
}
}
I have tried:
dashoffset
/dasharray
Not really sure what to do, or what's up, so any guidance on why this animation isn't working would be greatly appreciated.
Also, I created a reduced case on JSFiddle.

You will need to set the fill:none
to the svg
to aniamtion take place...also a stroke
and stroke-width
...
...actually the idea is here to animate your stroke
Stack Snippet
svg {
padding: 20px;
}
path {
stroke-dasharray: 415.9850769042969;
stroke-dashoffset: 415.9850769042969;
animation: letterB 5s linear forwards infinite;
-webkit-animation: letterB 5s linear forwards infinite;
}
@keyframes letterB {
0% {
stroke-dashoffset: 415.9850769042969;
}
100% {
stroke-dashoffset: 0;
}
}
@-webkit-keyframes letterB {
0% {
stroke-dashoffset: 415.9850769042969;
}
100% {
stroke-dashoffset: 0;
}
}
