如何跨浏览器标准化CSS3 Transition功能？

Question

Webkit's transition end event is called webkitTransitionEnd, Firefox is transitionEnd, opera is oTransitionEnd. What is a good way of tackling all of them in pure JS? Should I do browser sniffing? or implement each one separately? Some other way that hasn't occurred to me?

ie:

//doing browser sniffing
var transitionend = (isSafari) ? "webkitTransitionEnd" : (isFirefox) ? "transitionEnd" : (isOpera) ? "oTransitionEnd";

element.addEventListener(transitionend, function(){
  //do whatever
},false);

or

// Assigning an event listener per browser
element.addEventListener("webkitTransitionEnd", fn);
element.addEventListener("oTransitionEnd", fn);
element.addEventListener("transitionEnd", fn);

function fn() {
   //do whatever
}

Answer 1

There's a technique used in Modernizr, improved:

function transitionEndEventName () {
    var i,
        undefined,
        el = document.createElement('div'),
        transitions = {
            'transition':'transitionend',
            'OTransition':'otransitionend',  // oTransitionEnd in very old Opera
            'MozTransition':'transitionend',
            'WebkitTransition':'webkitTransitionEnd'
        };

    for (i in transitions) {
        if (transitions.hasOwnProperty(i) && el.style[i] !== undefined) {
            return transitions[i];
        }
    }

    //TODO: throw 'TransitionEnd event is not supported in this browser'; 
}

Then you can just call this function whenever you need the transition end event:

var transitionEnd = transitionEndEventName();
element.addEventListener(transitionEnd, theFunctionToInvoke, false);

As per Matijs comment, the easiest way to detect transition events is with a library, jquery in this case:

$("div").bind("webkitTransitionEnd.done oTransitionEnd.done otransitionend.done transitionend.done msTransitionEnd.done", function(){
  // Unlisten called events by namespace,
  // to prevent multiple event calls. (See comment)
  // By the way, .done can be anything you like ;)
  $(this).off('.done')
});

In library-less javascript it gets a bit verbose:

element.addEventListener('webkitTransitionEnd', callfunction, false);
element.addEventListener('oTransitionEnd', callfunction, false);
element.addEventListener('transitionend', callfunction, false);
element.addEventListener('msTransitionEnd', callfunction, false);

function callfunction() {
   //do whatever
}

Update

The following is a cleaner way of doing it, and doesn't require modernizr

$(".myClass").one('transitionend webkitTransitionEnd oTransitionEnd otransitionend MSTransitionEnd', 
function() {
 //do something
});

---

Alternatively

var transEndEventNames = {
        'WebkitTransition': 'webkitTransitionEnd',
        'MozTransition': 'transitionend',
        'OTransition': 'oTransitionEnd otransitionend',
        'msTransition': 'MSTransitionEnd',
        'transition': 'transitionend'
    }, transitionEnd = transEndEventNames[Modernizr.prefixed('transition')];

This is based on the code suggested by Modernizr, but with the extra event for newer versions of Opera.

If you use jQuery and Bootstrap $.support.transition.end will return the right event for the current browser.

It is defined in Bootstrap and used in its animation callbacks , though the jQuery docs say not to rely on these properties:

Although some of these properties are documented below, they are not subject to a long deprecation/removal cycle and may be removed once internal jQuery code no longer needs them.

Answer 5

As of 2015, this one-liner should do the deal (IE 10+, Chrome 1+, Safari 3.2+, FF 4+ and Opera 12+):-

var transEndEventName = ('WebkitTransition' in document.documentElement.style) ? 'webkitTransitionEnd' : 'transitionend'

Attaching the event listener is simple:-

element.addEventListener(transEndEventName , theFunctionToInvoke);

Answer 6

Here is a more cleaner way

 function transitionEvent() {
      // Create a fake element
      var el = document.createElement("div");

      if(el.style.OTransition) return "oTransitionEnd";
      if(el.style.WebkitTransition) return "webkitTransitionEnd";
      return "transitionend";
    }

Answer 7

google closure makes sure you don't have to do this. If you have an element:

goog.events.listen(element, goog.events.EventType.TRANSITIONEND, function(event) {
  // ... your code here
});

looking at the source of goog.events.eventtype.js, TRANSITIONEND is calculated by looking at the useragent:

// CSS transition events. Based on the browser support described at:
  // https://developer.mozilla.org/en/css/css_transitions#Browser_compatibility
  TRANSITIONEND: goog.userAgent.WEBKIT ? 'webkitTransitionEnd' :
      (goog.userAgent.OPERA ? 'oTransitionEnd' : 'transitionend'),

Answer 8

jquery override:

(function ($) {
  var oldOn = $.fn.on;

  $.fn.on = function (types, selector, data, fn, /*INTERNAL*/ one) {
    if (types === 'transitionend') {
      types = 'transitionend webkitTransitionEnd oTransitionEnd otransitionend MSTransitionEnd';
    }

    return oldOn.call(this, types, selector, data, fn, one);
  };
})(jQuery);

and usage like:

$('myDiv').on('transitionend', function() { ... });

Answer 9

The second is the way to go. Only one of those events will fire in every browser, so you can set all of them and it'll work.

Answer 10

I use code like this (with jQuery)

var vP = "";
var transitionEnd = "transitionend";
if ($.browser.webkit) {
    vP = "-webkit-";
    transitionEnd = "webkitTransitionEnd";
} else if ($.browser.msie) {
    vP = "-ms-";
} else if ($.browser.mozilla) {
    vP = "-moz-";
} else if ($.browser.opera) {
    vP = "-o-";
    transitionEnd = "otransitionend"; //oTransitionEnd for very old Opera
}

That lets me use JS to add things by specifying vP concatentated with the property, and if it didn't hit a browser it just uses the standard. The events lets me easily bind like so:

object.bind(transitionEnd,function(){
    callback();
});

Answer 11

Accepted answer is correct but you don't have to re-create that element again-and-again-and...

Build a global variable and add the function(s):

(function(myLib, $, window, document, undefined){

/**
 * @summary
 * Returns the browser's supported animation end event type.
 * @desc
 * @see {@link https://jonsuh.com/blog/detect-the-end-of-css-animations-and-transitions-with-javascript/}
 * @function myLib.getAnimationEndType
 * @return {string} The animation end event type
 */
(function(){
   var type;

   myLib.getAnimationEndType = function(){
      if(!type)
         type = callback();
      return type;

      function callback(){
         var t,
             el = document.createElement("fakeelement");

         var animations = {
            "animation"      : "animationend",
            "OAnimation"     : "oAnimationEnd",
            "MozAnimation"   : "animationend",
            "WebkitAnimation": "webkitAnimationEnd"
         }

         for (t in animations){
            if (el.style[t] !== undefined){
               return animations[t];
            }
         }
      }
   }
}());

/**
 * @summary
 * Returns the browser's supported transition end event type.
 * @desc
 * @see {@link https://jonsuh.com/blog/detect-the-end-of-css-animations-and-transitions-with-javascript/}
 * @function myLib.getTransitionEndType
 * @return {string} The transition end event type
 */
(function(){
   var type;

   myLib.getTransitionEndType = function(){
      if(!type)
         type = callback();
      return type;

      function callback(){
         var t,
             el = document.createElement("fakeelement");

         var transitions = {
            "transition"      : "transitionend",
            "OTransition"     : "oTransitionEnd",
            "MozTransition"   : "transitionend",
            "WebkitTransition": "webkitTransitionEnd"
         }

         for (t in transitions){
            if (el.style[t] !== undefined){
               return transitions[t];
            }
         }
      }
   }
}());

}(window.myLib = window.myLib || {}, jQuery, window, document));
