Animation Container

The UI for Blazor suite provides the Animation Container component that you can use to create messages and popups such as notifications or expandable containers, even tooltips. It lets you define its animation, size and position, and arbitrary content.

To use the animation container, add the TelerikAnimationContainer tag.

How to use the Animation Container

@* Click the button to toggle the visibility of the customized popup *@

<TelerikAnimationContainer @ref="myPopupRef" Top="300px" Width="100px" Height="100px" AnimationType="AnimationType.ZoomOut" Class="k-popup">
    My content goes here. The "k-popup" class adds some background and borders which you can define through your own styles instead.
</TelerikAnimationContainer>

<TelerikButton OnClick="@ToggleContainer">Toggle Animation Container</TelerikButton>

@code {
    Telerik.Blazor.Components.TelerikAnimationContainer myPopupRef;

    public void ToggleContainer()
    {
        myPopupRef.ToggleAsync();
    }
}

The result from the code snippet above

The component renderes in its place of declaration and has position: absolute. Parent elements in the DOM with special positioning can affect its position and the calculation of the Top and Left offsets.

The animation container exposes the following properties and methods:

• Show(), Hide() and Toggle(); ShowAsync(), HideAsync() and ToggleAsync() - to control whether the container is shown.
• Width and Height - to control its size. The Height cannot be in percentage values, it is recommended to use pixels for it.
• Top and Left - to control its offset from its parent with special positioning (relative, absolute, fixed).
• AnimationType and AnimationDuration to control the way it is shown and hidden. The animation duration is in milliseconds (defaults to 300), and the type is of the Telerik.Blazor.AnimationType enum with the following options:
  • SlideUp,
  • SlideIn,
  • SlideDown,
  • SlideRight,
  • SlideLeft,
  • PushUp,
  • PushDown,
  • PushLeft,
  • PushRight,
  • Fade,
  • ZoomIn,
  • ZoomOut
• ShowDelay and HideDelay - defines the delay between showing/hiding the component and the respective animation start. Both values are in milliseconds and default to 20.
• Class - a CSS class rendered on the container DOM element.
