transitionrun

The transitionrun event is fired when a CSS transition is first created, i.e. before any transition-delay has begun.

Examples

In the following example, we have a simple <div> element, styled with a transition that includes a delay:

<div></div>

div {
  width: 200px;
  height: 200px;
  background: rgba(255,0,0,1);
  transition-property: transform background;
  transition-duration: 2s;
  transition-delay: 2s;
}

div:hover {
  transform: rotate(90deg);
  background: rgba(255,0,0,0);
}

To this, we'll add some JavaScript to indicate where the transitionstart and transitionrun events fire.

var divElem = document.querySelector('div');

divElem.addEventListener('transitionrun', function() {
  console.log('transitionrun fired');
});

divElem.addEventListener('transitionstart', function() {
  console.log('transitionstart fired');
});

The difference is that:

• transitionrun fires when the transition is created (i.e. at the start of any delay).
• transitionstart fires when the actual animation has begun (i.e. at the end of any delay).
