The Easing module implements common easing functions. This module is used by Animated.timing() to convey physically believable motion in animations.

You can find a visualization of some common easing functions at http://easings.net/

Predefined animations

The Easing module provides several predefined animations through the following methods:

• back provides a basic animation where the object goes slightly back before moving forward
• bounce provides a bouncing animation
• ease provides a basic inertial animation
• elastic provides a basic spring interaction

Standard functions

Three standard easing functions are provided:

• linear
• quad
• cubic

The poly function can be used to implement quartic, quintic, and other higher power functions.

Additional functions

Additional mathematical functions are provided by the following methods:

• bezier provides a cubic bezier curve
• circle provides a circular function
• sin provides a sinusoidal function
• exp provides an exponential function

The following helpers are used to modify other easing functions.

• in runs an easing function forwards
• inOut makes any easing function symmetrical
• out runs an easing function backwards

Example

Reference

Methods

step0()

static step0(n)

A stepping function, returns 1 for any positive value of n.

---

step1()

static step1(n)

A stepping function, returns 1 if n is greater than or equal to 1.

---

linear()

static linear(t)

A linear function, f(t) = t. Position correlates to elapsed time one to one.

---

ease()

static ease(t)

A basic inertial interaction, similar to an object slowly accelerating to speed.

http://cubic-bezier.com/#.42,0,1,1

---

quad()

static quad(t)

A quadratic function, f(t) = t * t. Position equals the square of elapsed time.

http://easings.net/#easeInQuad

---

cubic()

static cubic(t)

A cubic function, f(t) = t * t * t. Position equals the cube of elapsed time.

---

poly()

static poly(n)

A power function. Position is equal to the Nth power of elapsed time.

---

sin()

static sin(t)

A sinusoidal function.

http://easings.net/#easeInSine

---

circle()

static circle(t)

A circular function.

http://easings.net/#easeInCirc

---

exp()

static exp(t)

An exponential function.

http://easings.net/#easeInExpo

---

elastic()

static elastic(bounciness)

A basic elastic interaction, similar to a spring oscillating back and forth.

Default bounciness is 1, which overshoots a little bit once. 0 bounciness doesn't overshoot at all, and bounciness of N > 1 will overshoot about N times.

---

back()

static back(s)

Use with Animated.parallel() to create a basic effect where the object animates back slightly as the animation starts.

---

bounce()

static bounce(t)

Provides a basic bouncing effect.

http://easings.net/#easeInBounce

---

bezier()

static bezier(x1, y1, x2, y2)

Provides a cubic bezier curve, equivalent to CSS Transitions' transition-timing-function.

A useful tool to visualize cubic bezier curves can be found at http://cubic-bezier.com/

---

in()

static in(easing);

Runs an easing function forwards.

---

out()

static out(easing)

Runs an easing function backwards.

---

inOut()

static inOut(easing)

Makes any easing function symmetrical. The easing function will run forwards for half of the duration, then backwards for the rest of the duration.
