Are you looking to add some motion magic to your Vue.js applications? Look no further! Vue Animate CSS is a fantastic library that allows developers to integrate Animate.css directly into Vue.js 3 projects. In this blog post, we’ll walk you through the installation and usage process, ensuring that you can animate your components like a pro!

Getting Started: Installation

There are a couple of ways to install Vue Animate CSS: using NPM, YARN, or via CDN. Let’s take a look at each method below!

1. Installation using NPM

• Open your terminal and run the following command:

  npm install @ossph/v-animate-css --save

2. Installation using YARN

• Similarly, if you prefer using YARN, you can execute:

  yarn add @ossph/v-animate-css

3. Using CDN

• To integrate Vue Animate CSS without installation, simply add the following script tag to your HTML:

  <script src="https://unpkg.com/@ossph/v-animate-css/dist/v-animate-css.js"></script>

Setting It Up

Once you have installed Vue Animate CSS, it’s time to put it to work. Follow these steps to start using the animations:

Importing and Using the Plugin

• First, import Vue and the VAnimateCss plugin into your project:

  import Vue from 'vue';
  import VAnimateCss from '@ossph/v-animate-css';
  Vue.use(VAnimateCss);

Embedding the Script

Make sure to include the Vue library and VAnimateCss script in your HTML file:

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/vue/2.4.4/vue.js"></script>
<script src="https://unpkg.com/@ossph/v-animate-css/dist/v-animate-css.js"></script>

Injecting Alternative CSS Links

If you want to customize your animations by using a different version of Animate.css, you can easily do that. This is especially useful if you have a local version or a CDN link to a newer version. Here’s how:

Vue.use(VAnimateCss, { animateCSSPath: './local-animate-css-file.css' });
Vue.use(VAnimateCss, { animateCSSPath: 'cdn-link-to-a-newer-animate-css-version' });

Troubleshooting

If you run into issues while working with Vue Animate CSS, consider the following troubleshooting tips:

• Make sure you have correctly installed the package and imported it as indicated above.
• Check for network issues if you’re using CDN links. Sometimes, they can be temporarily down.
• Ensure that your Vue version is compatible with the version of Vue Animate CSS you are using.
• If you want to use a custom CSS path, ensure the file path is correct and accessible.
