The animation-direction
CSS property sets whether an animation should play forwards, backwards, or alternating back and forth.
It is often convenient to use the shorthand property animation
to set all animation properties at once.
/* Single animation */ animation-direction: normal; animation-direction: reverse; animation-direction: alternate; animation-direction: alternate-reverse; /* Multiple animations */ animation-direction: normal, reverse; animation-direction: alternate, reverse, normal; /* Global values */ animation-direction: inherit; animation-direction: initial; animation-direction: unset;
normal
reverse
ease-in
timing function becomes ease-out
.alternate
alternate-reverse
Note: When you specify multiple comma-separated values on an animation-*
property, they will be assigned to the animations specified in the animation-name
property in different ways depending on how many there are. For more information, see Setting multiple animation property values.
