KUTE.js

A modern JavaScript animation engine built on ES6+ standards with strong TypeScript definitions and most essential features for the web with easy to use methods to set up high performance, cross-browser animations. The focus is code quality, flexibility, performance and size.

KUTE.js packs a series of components for presentation attributes, SVG transform, draw SVG strokes and path morphing, text string write up or number countdowns, plus additional CSS properties like colors, border-radius or typographic properties.

• svgCubicMorph - enables the animation for the d Presentation Attribute of the <path> SVGElement targets; this implements some Raphael.js functionality
• svgMorph - enables the animation for the d Presentation Attribute of the <path> SVGElement targets; this component implements some D3.js and flubber functionality
• svgDraw - enables the animation for the strokeDasharray and strokeDashoffset CSS properties specific to <path> SVGElement

Browser Support

KUTE.js is redeveloped for maximum performance on modern browsers. Some legacy browsers might some help, so give them a small polyfill set with most essential features required by KUTE.js to work, powered by minifill, try it. For broader projects you might want to consider polyfills.
