style()

Experimental Function

Class Export

export style(tokens: string | {[key: string]: string | number} |
    Array<string|{[key: string]: string | number}>) : AnimationStyleMetadata

style is an animation-specific function that is designed to be used inside of Angular2's animation DSL language. If this information is new, please navigate to the component animations metadata page to gain a better understanding of how animations in Angular2 are used.

style declares a key/value object containing CSS properties/styles that can then be used for animation states, within an animation sequence, or as styling data for both animate and keyframes.

Usage

style takes in a key/value string map as data and expects one or more CSS property/value pairs to be defined.

// string values are used for css properties
style({ background: "red", color: "blue" })
 
// numerical (pixel) values are also supported
style({ width: 100, height: 0 })

Auto-styles (using *)

When an asterix (*) character is used as a value then it will be detected from the element being animated and applied as animation data when the animation starts.

This feature proves useful for a state depending on layout and/or environment factors; in such cases the styles are calculated just before the animation starts.

// the steps below will animate from 0 to the
// actual height of the element
style({ height: 0 }),
animate("1s", style({ height: "*" }))
