The CSS transition-timing-function property defines the speed curve of the transition effect.
The CSS transition-timing-function property allows a transition effect to change speed over its duration.
Demo:
Hover over the rectangles, to see the different transition effects:
Syntax:
transition-timing-function: linear|ease|ease-in|ease-out|ease-in-out|step-start|step-end|steps(int,start|end)|cubic-bezier(n,n,n,n);linear – defines a transition effect with the same speed from start to end.
ease (default) – defines a transition effect with a slow start, then fast, then end slowly.
ease-in – defines a transition effect with a slow start.
ease-out – defines a transition effect with a slow end.
ease-in-out – defines a transition effect with a slow start and end.
step-start – equivalent to steps(1, start).
step-end – equivalent to steps(1, end).
steps (int, start | end) – define a stepping function, with two parameters. The first parameter specifies the number of intervals in the function. The second parameter (optional), is either the value “start” or “end”, and specifies the point at which the change of values occur within the interval.
cubic-bezier (n, n, n, n) – specify your own values in the cubic-bezier function (numeric values from 0 to 1).
Example:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
#square {
width: 100px;
height: 50px;
background: #2a9d8f;
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
font-size: 15px;
align-items: center;
color: white;
font-weight: bold;
transition: width 2s;
}
#square {transition-timing-function: linear;}
#square:hover {
width: 300px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="square">linear</div>
</body>
</html>Output:
Hover over the rectangle, to see the transition effect:
