question: popmotion works with meteor? about popmotion HOT 17 CLOSED

Hey man thanks! No plans for explicit Meteor support, but I've tried to design Popmotion to support any framework by using custom callbacks. Is there a specific use case you had in mind?

from popmotion.

I'm building a contact app using meteor because it make easy many things
and I think popmotion could be an excellent choice to animate the ui. BTW,
will you implement collision detecction?

You shouldn't have any problem using Popmotion in that app then, there's
native DOM support or if you have other view objects you can use the
onChange callback to set those.

Collision detection has been in the back of my mind but I've got some
bigger issues to tackle first.

Thank you ,I tested popmotion with meteor and works fine!

Hey man just to let you know, I'm doing a little overhaul of the API at the
moment for 3.0. I think you're the only person actually using it at the
moment so I'm gonna change the documentation, but I'll be happy to outline
the changes for you over the weekend and actually get your opinion on them
if that's okay?

Thank you! It's just matter of time I'm sure that your engine shortly will
grow in popularity because it's very useful.

@tinchox5 Thanks man -

The main changes are apparent here: http://codepen.io/popmotion/pen/WvaRGK?editors=001

I'm trying to cut out mutation of the core Popmotion object. So now actions are generated via class instantiation ie ui.Tween, ui.Track and ui.Simulate and these instances are passed to start and then to chain.

They can still be overridden using an extend method.

Under-the-hood these classes are still just providing properties to the Actor, but the long term idea is that the Actor would stop caring about what actions are currently happening and the Tween/Simulate/Track action classes would track the actual transitions. It'd be easier at that point to apply multiple actions at the same time (so you could rotate an object via a Tween/Simulate while it also follows your pointer with a Track).

The other major change is you can see all the action definitions are using values rather than path - elements are being auto-detected now and are being given the appropriate Role. These can be manually overridden, for instance to change something's attributes instead of its css you could do:

new ui.Actor({
    element: document.getElementById('foo'),
    as: ui.attrRole
});

I've left play track and run in there possibly as deprecated, they're quite nice shorthands for small stuff, so rather than actor.start(new Tween(yourProps)) it can be actor.play(yourProps)

from popmotion.

Hi Matt, I think the new changes are pretty good! Specially, they are
useful to keep the code clean with complex animations! On the other side,
many of the copeden animations are not working , surely because you are
making changes right now. I dont know if play, track and run should be
"alive".. I mean your new proposal is still easy to implement. But maybe
you are right and its good to keep them working.

Hey man - could you point to a couple of CodePens you've found that aren't working? You're right, I'm currently going through the guides and CodePens and rewriting them, but they should only point to the new version when I've rewritten it so I shouldn't have left many broken. So I might have to go through and recheck.

Thanks for your feedback!

from popmotion.

Matt, the thing is that por example, http://codepen.io/popmotion/pen/WvaRGK,
is working in Chrome, but not in Firefox (vs 40.0.3). The color change to
red but isn´t drawing the final shape. Earlier I tested all your codepens
in firefox.,

Thanks for that Juan! I've made a fix in 3.0 - it's not up yet so the pen
will still be broke for a few days - but that issue will be fixed in
Firefox now for release.

@tinchox5 I'm pretty close to releasing 3.0 and because I know you've been using ActorCollections I thought I'd let you know I've removed them in 3.0 in favour of a new Iterator class.

An Iterator has the same each and stagger commands but none of the Actor-specific methods. It also has a new eachIntoNew method which collects the return value of every method call and returns them as a new Iterator.

This opens up the Iterator class to be used with any Popmotion class, or even classes of another framework, or your own stuff. It also makes it clearer when you're working with multiple Actors vs just one, while at the moment there's weirdness like calling 'yourActorCollection.elements[0].element` for instance, to get the raw element of an Actor created as part of an ActorCollection.

I've updated all the CodePen examples but the accompanying documentation and guides will have to be updated over the next couple weeks.

Thank you Matt I'll try your new popmotion asap! For my little experience
with it I think it is very easy to understand and powerful to do animations.

Matt, I'm on holidays, so I couldn't view the new api in deep yet
.
Just one thing, I think that would be good to show the current version
number of popmotion in the website in order to help final users to know if
the documentation match with the api. Also, could be useful to give access
to old documentation if they use an old version.

Yeah I'd like to keep the old docs alive but I'm not sure how to do that with ExpressionEngine. I can definitely look into putting the current version on the site though, thanks for pointing that out.

Great library @InventingWithMonster

I'm using famous for some physics engine dom manipulation. But would be interested to see how your progresses. Looking forward to it!
