Composing Multiple Animations

We can use the shorthand form to specify all animation properties. The syntax is following:

animation: <name> <duration> <timing_function> <delay> <iteration-count> <direction> <fill-mode> <play-state>

Let's rewrite the next properties briefly.

Long way

animation-name: Rotation;
animation-duration: 5s;
animation-timing-function: cubic-bezier(0.075, 0.82, 0.165, 1);
animation-delay: 100ms;
animation-iteration-count: infinite;
animation-direction: alternate;
animation-fill-mode: backwards;
animation-play-state: running;

shorthand

animation: Rotation 5s cubic-bezier(0.075, 0.82, 0.165, 1) 100ms infinite alternate backwards running;

It looks so confusing, and we can miss some value easily. However, we have such an opportunity.

Note

For the browser, there is no difference between the shorthand and the long way of specifying the animation.
