Welcome to our tutorial on Micron.JS—your new secret weapon for crafting compelling micro interactions in web development. This micro interaction library lets you add dynamic animations to various DOM elements, making your user interface come alive.

What is Micron.JS?

Micron.JS is a lightweight library designed to enhance the interactivity of your web applications. By leveraging CSS animations combined with JavaScript control, Micron.JS allows developers to create smooth and engaging interactions easily. What makes this library particularly user-friendly is the ability to use simple HTML5 data attributes to trigger animations without the need to write extensive JavaScript.

How to Get Started with Micron.JS

Let’s dive into implementing Micron.JS in your projects. You can link Micron.JS directly from CDN or install it via package managers.

Installation via CDN

To include Micron.js in your web project, add the following lines to the header section of your HTML document:

<link href="https://unpkg.com/webkul-micron@1.1.6/dist/css/micron.min.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet">
<script src="https://unpkg.com/webkul-micron@1.1.6/dist/script/micron.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

Installation via Package Managers

You can also use npm or bower to install Micron.JS. Here’s how:

• For npm, run: npm install webkul-micron
• For bower, run: bower install webkul-micron

Usage Guide for Micron.JS

Now that you have Micron.JS integrated, let’s put it to good use without the techy jargon!

How to Add an Interaction

Simply add the data-micron attribute to an element, like so:

<a href="#!" class="button" data-micron="bounce">Label</a>

Customizing Interaction Duration

By default, interactions last for 0.45 seconds. To modify this duration, add the data-micron-duration attribute:

<a href="#!" class="button" data-micron="bounce" data-micron-duration=".95">Label</a>

Controlling Timing & Easing

Want to adjust how the animation feels? Use the data-micron-timing attribute to define easing options:

<a href="#!" class="button" data-micron="bounce" data-micron-timing="ease-in">Label</a>

Binding Interactions

You can bind interactions to specific elements by using the data-micron-bind attribute:

<a href="#!" class="button" data-micron="bounce" data-micron-bind=true data-micron-id="me">Label</a>
<a href="#!" class="button" id="me">Bound</a>

Using JavaScript for Advanced Interactions

If you wish to control Micron.JS through JavaScript, here’s how to do it:

function myFunc() {
    micron.getEle('#me').interaction('bounce').duration(0.45).timing('ease-out');
}
myFunc();

Available Interactions

Micron.JS supports various predefined interactions. To explore the complete list, head back to the homepage.

• data-micron="shake"
• data-micron="fade"
• data-micron="jelly"
• data-micron="bounce"
• …and many more!

Customizing Your Own Interactions

Fancy a unique animation? You can create your custom CSS animations with Micron.JS:

.mjs-custom {
    animation: custom-action;
}

@keyframes custom-action {
    from { /* Define start state */ }
    to { /* Define end state */ }
}

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with Micron.JS, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

• Ensure that you’ve included both CSS and JS files correctly in your HTML.
• Check for any JavaScript errors in the console that might affect the animations.
• Make sure the data attributes are spelled correctly and used on the correct elements.
