Framer.js is an open source JavaScript framework for rapid prototyping. Framer.js allows you to define animations and interactions, complete with filters, spring physics, 3D effects and more. It's bundled with Framer Generator, an application that allows you to import layers directly out of Photoshop and Sketch.
Framer Studio is a prototyping app for Mac, based on Framer.js. Framer Studio includes an editor based on CoffeeScript, instant visual feedback and much more.
- [Download] (http://framerjs.com/static/downloads/Framer.zip) (Framer.js & Framer Generator)
- Open index.html in a WebKit browser and you'll see an image animate on click
- Edit the app.js to add interactions and animations (see example code below)
imageLayer = new Layer({width:128, height:128, image:"images/icon.png"})
imageLayer.center()
imageLayer.states.add({
second: {y:100, scale:0.6, rotationZ:100},
third: {y:300, scale:1.3},
fourth: {y:200, scale:0.9, rotationZ:200},
})
imageLayer.states.animationOptions = {
curve: "spring(500,12,0)"
}
imageLayer.on(Events.Click, function() {
imageLayer.states.next()
})
- Spring Physics, Easing Functions and Bezier Curves
- Hardware Accelerated (3D) Animations with 60fps
- Events: Click, Touch, Drag, Scroll and more
- State Machine to define and animate between sets of properties
- Import from Sketch & Photoshop with Framer Generator
- Based on WebKit: works on desktop, mobile and tablets
- Debugging with Web Inspector and JavaScript console
With a Sketch or Photoshop file open, open Framer Generator and click Import. Only layer groups are imported; single layers are ignored. The hierarchy of your layer groups is respected.
You can safely move things around in Sketch or Photoshop and re-import. Generator will update the images and any changes in hierarchy, but leave your code intact. See our documentation for more.
- Access any layer by its group name
- Groups within groups will become subLayers
- Groups with vector masks will become clipped layers
- Group names should be unique (otherwise, they'll be renamed)
