About Alpinimations

Alpinimations helps you clean up your Laravel blade files when using Alpine JS. Alpine has a super powerful animation system, but it can often bloat your HTML. This package bundles common animations into small blade files that you can include in your HTML.

We currently support all Tailwind UI animations and will be adding animations from more places over time.

Installation

To install the package, simply run composer require lukeraymonddowning/alpinimations in the terminal from the root of your Laravel project.

If you'd like to edit the animation files, you can publish the views by running php artisan vendor:publish --tag=alpinimations.

Usage

Using Alpinimations couldn't be simpler. Let's take a super awesome Tailwind UI component, the slideover. After copying over the HTML from the Tailwind UI component library, you'll have something like this:

<div class="fixed inset-0 overflow-hidden">
  <div class="absolute inset-0 overflow-hidden">
    <!--
      Background overlay, show/hide based on slide-over state.

      Entering: "ease-in-out duration-500"
        From: "opacity-0"
        To: "opacity-100"
      Leaving: "ease-in-out duration-500"
        From: "opacity-100"
        To: "opacity-0"
    -->
    <div class="absolute inset-0 bg-gray-500 bg-opacity-75 transition-opacity"></div>

    <section class="absolute inset-y-0 right-0 pl-10 max-w-full flex">
      <!--
        Slide-over panel, show/hide based on slide-over state.

        Entering: "transform transition ease-in-out duration-500 sm:duration-700"
          From: "translate-x-full"
          To: "translate-x-0"
        Leaving: "transform transition ease-in-out duration-500 sm:duration-700"
          From: "translate-x-0"
          To: "translate-x-full"
      -->
      <div class="w-screen max-w-md">
        <div class="h-full flex flex-col space-y-6 py-6 bg-white shadow-xl overflow-y-scroll">
          <header class="px-4 sm:px-6">
            <div class="flex items-start justify-between space-x-3">
              <h2 class="text-lg leading-7 font-medium text-gray-900">
                Panel title
              </h2>
              <div class="h-7 flex items-center">
                <button aria-label="Close panel" class="text-gray-400 hover:text-gray-500 transition ease-in-out duration-150">
                  <svg class="h-6 w-6" fill="none" viewBox="0 0 24 24" stroke="currentColor">
                    <path stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" stroke-width="2" d="M6 18L18 6M6 6l12 12"/>
                  </svg>
                </button>
              </div>
            </div>
          </header>
          <div class="relative flex-1 px-4 sm:px-6">
          </div>
        </div>
      </div>
    </section>
  </div>
</div>

Note that Tailwind UI includes the animations we should apply. These animations are included out of the box with Alpinimations. Let's sweeten up our component with Alpine:

<div x-data="{ showSlideover: false }" class="fixed inset-0 overflow-hidden">
  <div class="absolute inset-0 overflow-hidden">
    <div x-show="showSlideover" @anim('tailwindui.slideover.overlay') class="absolute inset-0 bg-gray-500 bg-opacity-75 transition-opacity"></div>

    <section class="absolute inset-y-0 right-0 pl-10 max-w-full flex">
      <div x-show="showSlideover" @anim('tailwindui.slideover.panel') class="w-screen max-w-md">
        <div class="h-full flex flex-col space-y-6 py-6 bg-white shadow-xl overflow-y-scroll">
          <header class="px-4 sm:px-6">
            <div class="flex items-start justify-between space-x-3">
              <h2 class="text-lg leading-7 font-medium text-gray-900">
                Panel title
              </h2>
              <div class="h-7 flex items-center">
                <button @click="showSlideover = false" aria-label="Close panel" class="text-gray-400 hover:text-gray-500 transition ease-in-out duration-150">
                  <svg class="h-6 w-6" fill="none" viewBox="0 0 24 24" stroke="currentColor">
                    <path stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" stroke-width="2" d="M6 18L18 6M6 6l12 12"/>
                  </svg>
                </button>
              </div>
            </div>
          </header>
          <div class="relative flex-1 px-4 sm:px-6">
          </div>
        </div>
      </div>
    </section>
  </div>
</div>

Note how we can use the @anim blade directive to include all the necessary alpine animation directives. A list of all Tailwind UI animations available can be found below.

We can go even further here. As most animations are coupled with x-show, Alpinimations includes an @xshow blade directive. Check it out:

<div x-data="{ showSlideover: false }" class="fixed inset-0 overflow-hidden">
  <div class="absolute inset-0 overflow-hidden">
    <div @xshow('showSlideover', 'tailwindui.slideover.overlay') class="absolute inset-0 bg-gray-500 bg-opacity-75 transition-opacity"></div>

    <section class="absolute inset-y-0 right-0 pl-10 max-w-full flex">
      <div @xshow('showSlideover', 'tailwindui.slideover.panel') class="w-screen max-w-md">
        <div class="h-full flex flex-col space-y-6 py-6 bg-white shadow-xl overflow-y-scroll">
          <header class="px-4 sm:px-6">
            <div class="flex items-start justify-between space-x-3">
              <h2 class="text-lg leading-7 font-medium text-gray-900">
                Panel title
              </h2>
              <div class="h-7 flex items-center">
                <button @click="showSlideover = false" aria-label="Close panel" class="text-gray-400 hover:text-gray-500 transition ease-in-out duration-150">
                  <svg class="h-6 w-6" fill="none" viewBox="0 0 24 24" stroke="currentColor">
                    <path stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" stroke-width="2" d="M6 18L18 6M6 6l12 12"/>
                  </svg>
                </button>
              </div>
            </div>
          </header>
          <div class="relative flex-1 px-4 sm:px-6">
          </div>
        </div>
      </div>
    </section>
  </div>
</div>
