NanoTween

~1.5 KB is quite enough for full-featured and comfortable tweening

Is it small enough?

I made some researches with bundlephobia and size-limit and here's what I can say

For now, NanoTween core is the smallest tweening core on NPM

library    ¦ size
-----------¦-------
gsap       ¦ 37.0 KB
moofx      ¦  7.4 KB
es6-tween  ¦  6.0 KB
animejs    ¦  5.7 KB
kute       ¦  5.6 KB
tweenr     ¦  4.7 KB
shifty     ¦  4.2 KB
kute       ¦  3.4 KB
tweenjs    ¦  2.9 KB
tweeno     ¦  2.8 KB
anim       ¦  1.1 KB
nanotween  ¦  0.8 KB

Included features

• Easing functions
• Tweening delays
• Chaining and groupping
• Yo-yo effect
• You can start/stop, play/pause, reverse on-fly or force set tweening progress
• Also has IIFE build to include as <script> file

Advantages

• Ultra small size (only <1KB core, 1.5KB with all helpers, <2.5KB with all easings)
• Low-level API lets you easily adapt it to your needs
• Big list of ready-to-use easing functions
• Easings and helpers are separated from core library so you can add only needed functions

Installation

From NPM

npm install nanotween
yarn add nanotween

From unpckg

<script src="https://unpkg.com/nanotween@0.5.0/dist/index.js"></script>
<script src="https://unpkg.com/nanotween@0.5.0/dist/helpers.js"></script>

Countdown example

Simple countdown timer

import NanoTween from 'nanotween'
import { linear } from 'nanotween/easings'

// Start tweening process
const animate = time => {
  requestAnimationFrame(animate)
  NanoTween.update(time)
}
animate(performance.now())

// Duration in seconds
const duration = 10

// Element
const el = document.getElementById('tween')

// Create tween object
const tween = new NanoTween()
  .duration(duration * 1000)
  .repeat(3)
  .easing(linear)
  .on('update', progress => {
    el.innerHTML = (progress * duration).toFixed(2)
  })
  .on('complete', () => alert('Time is over'))

// Start timer
tween.start()
