What is @types/d3-ease?
The @types/d3-ease package provides TypeScript type definitions for d3-ease, a module in the D3 (Data-Driven Documents) library that supplies a collection of easing functions for smooth animations. These type definitions allow TypeScript developers to use d3-ease with the benefits of type checking and autocompletion.
What are @types/d3-ease's main functionalities?
Easing Functions
Provides type definitions for various easing functions such as linear, cubic, and bounce, which can be used to create smooth animations.
import * as d3Ease from 'd3-ease';
const linearEase = d3Ease.easeLinear(0.5);
const cubicInEase = d3Ease.easeCubicIn(0.5);
const bounceOutEase = d3Ease.easeBounceOut(0.5);
Custom Easing
Allows the creation of custom easing functions by adjusting the parameters of predefined easing functions, such as changing the exponent for polynomial easing.
import { easePolyInOut } from 'd3-ease';
const customEase = easePolyInOut.exponent(4)(0.5);
