Lightweight plugin that adds additional inspector controls to block editor blocks that allow to animate the block once it becomes visible to the user during scrolling. The controls can be used to select an animation type (fade, flip, slide, zoom), variation (different directions), as well as delay, duration and more advanced settings. Upon changing an option the animation can be immediately previewed in the editor.

This plugin uses <a href="https://github.com/michalsnik/aos" rel="nofollow ugc">AOS – Animate on scroll library</a> and adds its’ stylesheet (2.8 kB) and script (5.2 kB) to the front end as well as a script that initializes the animations (1.3 kB).

Animations for Blocks

I have used several plugins that offer animation blocks or similar. This one is the most straight forward Animate On Scroll wrapper for wordpress blocks.

Simple. That's why it's good.

I'm a bit of an "old school" developer and have been struggling to fully embrace Gutenberg/Block Editor.

I'm building a new Block Editor base theme for use on my client projects, and I wanted to include AOS. I was preparing to add the library directly in my plugin and trying to figure out how I would ever get it to seamlessly integrate into the Block Editor interface… and then I found this plugin!

It is perfect. It includes all of the AOS parameters, works on virtually any block (even nested blocks), and most important to me, it looks like it belongs in the Block Editor. Speaking as a plugin developer as well, I can't stand plugins that try to imprint their own UI elements all over WordPress. If you're adding something to WordPress, make it look like WordPress. Anything else is at best distracting, and at worst, confusing to end users.

This one is perfect. I won't spend another second trying to integrate AOS directly into my theme… I'll just install this plugin on any site that needs animation! Very well done, and I hope the user base grows so the devs can continue to support it.

This is how you do it.


Finally an easy to use block animation plugin! Thank you so much.


Amazing plugin!


I was considering building such plugin myself, but it is already made! Thanks to developers!Please update compatibility, people will not install this if they don't see compatibility with newest WordPress


Great plugin

Allows to add animations to block editor blocks on scroll.

Animate any Elements on scroll using the popular AOS JS library simply by adding class names.
This plugin helps you integrate easily with AOS JS library to add any AOS animations (on scroll animation) to WordPress.
It should work well with the native gutenberg core blocks or any page builder (tested with GenerateBlocks and Elementor) that provides an input field for adding custom class names to elements.
<h3>About AOS</h3>
AOS is a small JavaScript library built by <a href="https://twitter.com/michalsnik" rel="nofollow ugc">Michał Sajnóg</a> that allows you to add animated effects to HTML elements when they come into view as the user scrolls down a webpage. AOS provides a set of predefined animations using CSS that can be easily applied to elements using simple data attributes in the HTML code.
Check out the AOS <a href="https://michalsnik.github.io/aos/" rel="nofollow ugc">demo</a> and <a href="https://github.com/michalsnik/aos" rel="nofollow ugc">documentation</a>.
<h3>How to add Animations?</h3>
Simply add the desired AOS animation to your element class name with “aos-” prefix and the plugin will add the corresponding aos attribute to the element tag.
Fade animations:
<ul>
<li>fade: aos-fade</li>
<li>fade-up: aos-fade-up</li>
<li>fade-down: aos-fade-down</li>
<li>fade-left: aos-fade-left</li>
<li>fade-right: aos-fade-right</li>
<li>fade-up-right: aos-fade-up-right</li>
<li>fade-up-left: aos-fade-up-left</li>
<li>fade-down-right: aos-fade-down-right</li>
<li>fade-down-left: : aos-fade-down-left</li>
</ul>
Flip animations:
<ul>
<li>flip-up: aos-flip-up</li>
<li>flip-down: aos-flip-down</li>
<li>flip-left: aos-flip-left</li>
<li>flip-right: aos-flip-right</li>
</ul>
Slide animations:
<ul>
<li>slide-up: aos-slide-up</li>
<li>slide-down: aos-slide-down</li>
<li>slide-left: aos-slide-left</li>
<li>slide-right: aos-slide-right</li>
</ul>
Zoom animations:
<ul>
<li>zoom-in: aos-zoom-in</li>
<li>zoom-in-up: aos-zoom-in-up</li>
<li>zoom-in-down: aos-zoom-in-down</li>
<li>zoom-in-left: aos-zoom-in-left</li>
<li>zoom-in-right: aos-zoom-in-right</li>
<li>zoom-out: aos-zoom-out</li>
<li>zoom-out-up: aos-zoom-out-up</li>
<li>zoom-out-down: aos-zoom-out-down</li>
<li>zoom-out-left: aos-zoom-out-left</li>
<li>zoom-out-right: aos-zoom-out-right</li>
</ul>
<h3>Animation Settings</h3>
By default, the global animation settings are
<ul>
<li>offset: -100</li>
<li>duration: 1100</li>
<li>easing: ease</li>
<li>delay: 0</li>
<li>once: true</li>
</ul>
you can change that using filter:
<pre><code>add_filter( 'aos_init', function($aos_init) {
 return '
 var aoswp_params = {
 "offset":"200",
 "duration":"1800",
 "easing":"ease-in-out",
 "delay":"0",
 "once": false};
 ';
} );
</code></pre>
or add the extra classes below to the element for individual settings. The plugin will add the corresponding aos attribute to the tag.
Once behavior:
<ul>
<li>once=true: aos-once-true</li>
<li>once=false: aos-once-false</li>
</ul>
Easing functions:
<ul>
<li>linear: aos-easing-linear</li>
<li>ease: aos-easing-ease</li>
<li>ease-in: aos-easing-ease-in</li>
<li>ease-out: aos-easing-ease-out</li>
<li>ease-in-out: aos-easing-ease-in-out</li>
<li>ease-in-back: aos-easing-ease-in-back</li>
<li>ease-out-back: aos-easing-ease-out-back</li>
<li>ease-in-out-back: aos-easing-ease-in-out-back</li>
<li>ease-in-sine: aos-easing-ease-in-sine</li>
<li>ease-out-sine: aos-easing-ease-out-sine</li>
<li>ease-in-out-sine: aos-easing-ease-in-out-sine</li>
<li>ease-in-quad: aos-easing-ease-in-quad</li>
<li>ease-out-quad: aos-easing-ease-out-quad</li>
<li>ease-in-out-quad: aos-easing-ease-in-out-quad</li>
<li>ease-in-cubic: aos-easing-ease-in-cubic</li>
<li>ease-out-cubic: aos-easing-ease-out-cubic</li>
<li>ease-in-out-cubic: aos-easing-ease-in-out-cubic</li>
<li>ease-in-quart: aos-easing-ease-in-quart</li>
<li>ease-out-quart: aos-easing-ease-out-quart</li>
<li>ease-in-out-quart: aos-easing-ease-in-out-quart</li>
</ul>
Animation Duration:
<ul>
<li>100ms: aos-duration-100</li>
<li>200ms: aos-duration-200</li>
<li>300ms: aos-duration-300</li>

</ul>
<h3>To Disable Animations On Specific Device</h3>
<ul>
<li>To disable animations on certain elements on devices larger than 767px, simply add <code>aoswp-disable-desktop</code> class name to the element tag 
 </li>
<li>To disable animations on certain elements on devices smaller than 766px, simply add <code>aoswp-disable-mobile</code> class name to the element tag 
 </li>
<li>
To disable animations site-wide / per page basis on specific devices: 
add this lines to your css files:
@media ( <a href="https://gist.github.com/gokulkrishh/242e68d1ee94ad05f488" rel="nofollow ugc"> <code>your media query</code> </a> ) {
<pre><code> html:not(.no-js) .aoswp-enabled [data-aos] {
 opacity: 1!important;
 -webkit-transform: none!important;
 transform: none!important;
 transition: none!important;
 transition-timing-function: unset!important;
 transition-duration: unset!important;
 transition-property: none!important;
 }
</code></pre>
}
</li>
</ul>
 
<h3>Note</h3>
<ul>
<li>Both AOS JavaScript and CSS will only be loaded if there is ‘<code>aos-</code>‘ in the page’s html. So this plugin will not add bloat to pages that do not use/need the AOS animations. 
 </li>
<li>Although the AOS library is already lightweight, the CSS and JS in this plugin are delay-able, so it won’t hurt your site’s performance at all. (You can use <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/optimize-more/" rel="ugc">Optimize More!</a> to delay the CSS and JS)</li>
</ul>
<h3>Disclaimer</h3>
This plugin doesn’t add anything to your database and won’t do any permanent change to your HTML, so you can safely deactivate and delete it when you no longer need it.

Animate on Scroll


Really cool plugin and also really lightweight compared to others. Recommendation :-)



Thanks for porting AOS to WordPress!


Very nice

Animate any Elements on scroll using the popular AOS JS library simply by adding class names.
