These look like custom CSS properties used to control a small animation. Breakdown:
- -sd-animation: sd-fadeIn;
- Likely a custom property naming an animation preset (e.g., a keyframes animation called sd-fadeIn).
- –sd-duration: 250ms;
- Duration of the animation (250 milliseconds).
- –sd-easing: ease-in;
- Timing function controlling acceleration (starts slowly, speeds up).
How they work together (typical usage):
- A component reads these custom properties and applies them to an element, for example:
.element {animation-name: var(–sd-animation); animation-duration: var(–sd-duration); animation-timing-function: var(–sd-easing); animation-fill-mode: both;} - The named animation (sd-fadeIn) would be defined with @keyframes, e.g.:
@keyframes sd-fadeIn { from { opacity: 0; transform: translateY(6px); } to { opacity: 1; transform: translateY(0); }}
Tips:
- Use consistent naming: custom properties usually begin with –; a leading dash-only name (-sd-animation) is allowed but unconventional.
- Provide fallbacks: animation-name: var(–sd-animation, none);
- Pair duration units (ms/s) and valid easing keywords or cubic-bezier() values.
- For accessibility, respect prefers-reduced-motion by disabling or shortening animations:
@media (prefers-reduced-motion: reduce) { .element { animation: none; }}
If you want, I can:
- Convert these into a complete CSS snippet for a component,
- Suggest alternate easing or duration values for different UX contexts,
- Explain how to toggle this animation with JavaScript.
