```html
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/tween.js/20.0.0/tween.umd.js"></script>

<div id="box"></div>

<style>
	#box {
		background-color: deeppink;
		width: 100px;
		height: 100px;
	}
</style>

<script>
	const box = document.getElementById('box') // Get the element we want to animate.

	const coords = {x: 0, y: 0} // Start at (0, 0)

	const tween = new TWEEN.Tween(coords, false) // Create a new tween that modifies 'coords'.
		.to({x: 300, y: 200}, 1000) // Move to (300, 200) in 1 second.
		.easing(TWEEN.Easing.Quadratic.InOut) // Use an easing function to make the animation smooth.
		.onUpdate(() => {
			// Called after tween.js updates 'coords'.
			// Move 'box' to the position described by 'coords' with a CSS translation.
			box.style.setProperty('transform', 'translate(' + coords.x + 'px, ' + coords.y + 'px)')
		})
		.start() // Start the tween immediately.

	// Setup the animation loop.
	function animate(time) {
		tween.update(time)
		requestAnimationFrame(animate)
	}
	requestAnimationFrame(animate)
</script>
```

# Installation

## From CDN

Install from a content-delivery network (CDN) like in the above example.

From cdnjs:

```html
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/tween.js/20.0.0/tween.umd.js"></script>
```

Or from unpkg.com:

```html
<script src="https://unpkg.com/@tweenjs/tween.js@^20.0.0/dist/tween.umd.js"></script>
```

Note that unpkg.com supports a semver version in the URL, where the `^` in the URL tells unpkg to give you the latest version 20.x.x.

## Build and include in your project with script tag

Currently npm is required to build the project.

```bash
git clone https://github.com/tweenjs/tween.js
cd tween.js
npm install
npm run build
```

This will create some builds in the `dist` directory. There are currently two different builds of the library:

- UMD : `tween.umd.js`
- ES6 Module : `tween.es.js`

You are now able to copy tween.umd.js into your project, then include it with
a script tag, which will add TWEEN to the global scope,

```html
<script src="path/to/tween.umd.js"></script>
```

or import TWEEN as a JavaScript module,

```html
<script type="module">
	import * as TWEEN from 'path/to/tween.es.js'
</script>
```

where `path/to` is replaced with the location where you placed the file.

## With `npm install` and `import` from `node_modules`

You can add tween.js as an npm dependency:

```bash
npm install @tweenjs/tween.js
```

### With a build tool

If you are using [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/), [Parcel](https://parceljs.org/), [Webpack](https://webpack.js.org/), [Rollup](https://rollupjs.org/), [Vite](https://vitejs.dev/), or another build tool, then you can now use the following to include tween.js:

```javascript
import * as TWEEN from '@tweenjs/tween.js'
```

### Without a build tool

You can import from `node_modules` if you serve node_modules as part of your website, using an `importmap` script tag. First, assuming `node_modules` is at the root of your website, you can write an import map:

```html
<script type="importmap">
	{
		"imports": {
			"@tweenjs/tween.js": "/node_modules/@tweenjs/tween.js/dist/tween.es.js"
		}
	}
</script>
```

Now in any of your module scripts you can import it by its package name:

```javascript
import * as TWEEN from '@tweenjs/tween.js'
```

# Features

- Does one thing and one thing only: tween properties
- Doesn't take care of CSS units (e.g. appending `px`)
- Doesn't interpolate colors
- Easing functions are reusable outside of Tween
- Can also use custom easing functions

# Tests

You need to install `npm` first--this comes with node.js, so install that one first. Then, cd to `tween.js`'s (or wherever you cloned the repo) directory and run:

```bash
npm install
```

To run the tests run:

```bash
npm test
```

If you want to add any feature or change existing features, you _must_ run the tests to make sure you didn't break anything else. Any pull request (PR) needs to have updated passing tests for feature changes (or new passing tests for new features or fixes) in `src/tests.ts` a PR to be accepted. See [contributing](CONTRIBUTING.md) for more information.
