## Howdy, friends! 👋
|
|
|
|
If you examine [my homepage](/) long enough, you might notice the 👋 hand emoji at the top subtly waving at you. This was easily accomplished using a few lines of CSS with a feature called [`@keyframes`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/@keyframes) — no bulky GIFs involved, and no JS mess or jQuery overkill required.
|
|
|
|
Below are the code snippets you can grab and customize to make your own ["waving hand" 👋](https://emojipedia.org/waving-hand-sign/) emojis **_actually wave_**, and a [CodePen playground](https://codepen.io/jakejarvis/pen/pBZWZw) for live testing.

## Demo
|
|
|
|
<iframe
|
|
height="500"
|
|
width="100%"
|
|
src="https://codepen.io/jakejarvis/embed/pBZWZw/?theme-id=light&default-tab=css,result"
|
|
scrolling="no"
|
|
></iframe>

## CSS
|
|
|
|
{/* prettier-ignore */}
|
|
```css showLineNumbers
|
|
.wave {
|
|
animation-name: wave-animation; /* Refers to the name of your @keyframes element below */
|
|
animation-duration: 2.5s; /* Change to speed up or slow down */
|
|
animation-iteration-count: infinite; /* Never stop waving :) */
|
|
transform-origin: 70% 70%; /* Pivot around the bottom-left palm */
|
|
display: inline-block;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
@keyframes wave-animation {
|
|
0% { transform: rotate( 0.0deg) }
|
|
10% { transform: rotate(14.0deg) } /* The following five values can be played with to make the waving more or less extreme */
|
|
20% { transform: rotate(-8.0deg) }
|
|
30% { transform: rotate(14.0deg) }
|
|
40% { transform: rotate(-4.0deg) }
|
|
50% { transform: rotate(10.0deg) }
|
|
60% { transform: rotate( 0.0deg) } /* Reset for the last half to pause */
|
|
100% { transform: rotate( 0.0deg) }
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
