# Universal Methods After a component is assigned the **id** attribute, you can use the ID to obtain the component objects and call functions. ## animate animate$ keyframes: Keyframes, options: Options$: void - Name

Name	Type	Mandatory	Description
keyframes	keyframes	Yes	Sets the animation style.
options	Options	Yes	Array of objects used to set animation attributes. For details, see Options.

**Table 1** keyframes

Attribute	Type	Description
frames	Array<Style>	Array of objects used to set animation attributes. For details about style attributes, see Style attributes.

**Table 2** Style attributes

Name	Type	Default Value	Description
width	number	-	Width set for the component during playback of the animation.
height	number	-	Height set for the component during playback of the animation.
backgroundColor	<color>	none	Background color set for the component during playback of the animation.
opacity	number	1	Opacity set for the component. The value ranges from 0 to 1.
backgroundPosition	string	-	The value format is x y, in percentage or pixels. The first value indicates the horizontal position, and the second value indicates the vertical position. If only one value is specified, the other value is 50% by default.
transformOrigin	string	'center center'	Origin position of the transformed element. The first value indicates the x-axis position. The value can be left, center, right, a length, or a percentage. The second value indicates the y-axis position. The value can be top, center, bottom, a length, or a percentage.
transform	Transform	-	Transformation type set for a transformed element.
offset	number	-	The value of offset must be within (0.0,1.0] and sorted in ascending order if it is provided. If there are only two frames, offset can be left empty. If there are more than two frames, offset is mandatory.

**Table 3** Options description

Name	Type	Default Value	Description
duration	number	0	Duration for playing the animation, in milliseconds.
easing	string	linear	Time curve of the animation. For details about the supported types, see Available values of the easing attribute.
delay	number	0	Delay for the animation start. The default value indicates no delay.
iterations	number \| string	1	Number of times the animation will be played. number indicates a fixed number of playback operations, and Infinity indicates an unlimited number of playback operations.
direction⁶⁺	string	normal	Mode of playing the animation. normal: Plays the animation in forward loop mode. reverse: Plays the animation in reverse loop mode. alternate: Plays the animation in alternating loop mode. When the animation is played for an odd number of times, the playback is in forward direction. When the animation is played for an even number of times, the playback is in backward direction. alternate-reverse: Plays the animation in reverse-alternating loop mode. When the animation is played for an odd number of times, the playback is in backward direction. When the animation is played for an even number of times, the playback is in forward direction.
fill	string	none	Start and end styles of the animation. none: No style is applied to the target before or after the animation is executed. forwards: The target keeps the state at the end of the animation (defined in the last key frame) after the animation is executed. backwards⁶⁺: The animation uses the value defined in the first key frame during the animation-delay. When animation-direction is set to normal or alternate, the value in the from key frame is used. When animation-direction is set to reverse or alternate-reverse, the value in the to key frame is used. both⁶⁺: The animation follows the forwards and backwards rules.

**Table 4** Available values of the easing attribute

Type	Description
linear	The animation speed keeps unchanged.
ease-in	The animation starts at a low speed. cubic-bezier(0.42, 0.0, 1.0, 1.0).
ease-out	The animation ends at a low speed. cubic-bezier(0.0, 0.0, 0.58, 1.0).
ease-in-out	The animation starts and ends at a low speed. cubic-bezier(0.42, 0.0, 0.58, 1.0).
friction	Damping curve, cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.0, 0.2, 1.0).
extreme-deceleration	Extreme deceleration curve, cubic-bezier(0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0).
sharp	Sharp curve, cubic-bezier(0.33, 0.0, 0.67, 1.0).
rhythm	Rhythm curve, cubic-bezier(0.7, 0.0, 0.2, 1.0).
smooth	Smooth curve, cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.0, 0.4, 1.0).
cubic-bezier(x1, y1, x2, y2)	You can customize an animation speed curve in the cubic-bezier() function. The x and y values of each input parameter must be between 0 and 1.
steps(number, step-position)⁶⁺	Step curve. The number must be set and only an integer is supported. step-position is optional. It can be set to start or end. The default value is end.

- Return values The **animation** attributes are as follows.

Attribute	Type	Description
finished	boolean	Read-only attribute, which indicates whether the animation playback is complete.
pending	boolean	Read-only attribute, which indicates whether the animation is waiting for the completion of other asynchronous operations (for example, start an animation with a delay).
playState	string	Read-write attribute, which indicates the playback status of the animation: idle: The animation is not running (playback ended or not started). running: The animation is running. paused: The animation is paused. finished: Animation playback ends.
startTime	number	Read-write attribute, which indicates the animation start time. This attribute is similar to delay in the options attribute.

left	number	Offset between the left boundary of the element and the window.
top	number	Offset between the upper boundary of the element and the window.

Name	Type	Mandatory	Description
param	ObserverParam	-	Obtains the observer callback.

**Table 6** ObserverParam attributes⁶⁺

Attribute	Type	Description
