CSS: Transform

CSS Transform

I. What is CSS transform?

transform allows us to transform the elements differently, such as rotate, scale, move, skew, etc.

transform can have different values:

  • translate
  • scale
  • rotate
  • skew

II. translate()

With the translate value, we can move the element from one position to another on a webpage.

  • If we want to move the element on the x-axis, we use translateX
  • To move the element on the y-axis, we use translateY
  • To move the element on both x-axis and y-axis, we use translate(x,y)

Example 1: The image will be moved 200px to the right (with a positive integer).

img {
  transform: translateX(200px);
}

Example 2: The image will be moved 200px to the left (with a negative integer).

img {
  transform: translateX(-200px);
}

Example 3: The image will be moved 200px down (with a positive integer).

img {
  transform: translateY(200px);
}

Example 4: The image will be moved 200px up (with a negative integer).

img {
  transform: translateY(-200px);
}

Example 5: The image will be moved 200px left and down

img {
  transform: translate(-200px, 200px);
}

III. scale()

scale() helps scale the element, making it bigger or smaller.

Similar to translate, we can also use scaleX or scaleY.

  • scaleX: stretch or shrink the element along the x-axis
  • scaleY: stretch or shrink the element along the y-axis

Note

  • For value 1, it won’t do anything.
  • For value > 1, the element will be stretched.
  • For value < 1, the element will be shrinked.

Example 1: The image will be stretched 3 times along the x-axis

img {
  transform: scaleX(3);
}

Example 2: The image will be shrunk into half along the y-axis

img {
  transform: scaleY(0.5);
}

Example 1: The image will be stretched 3 times in both directions.

img {
  transform: scale(3);
}

  Constructor Function In this article, we will learn the constructor function and its usage. I. What is the constructor function? A constructor function is a function to create an object. II. How to create a constructor function? When we create a constructor function, we should capitalize the function’s name. Then, we pass in the properties we want to set in the parameters. We use the keyword  this  to set them as the object’s properties. Avoid using  arrow functions  when using  this  in a method. function Person ( name, birthDay, color ) { this .name = name; this .birthDay = new Date (birthDay); this .color = color; } III. Create an object instance Once we have an object constructor, we use the  new  keyword to create new objects of the same type. const p 1 = new Person( "Anna" , "3-25-1995" , "green" ); const p 2 = new Person( "Joe" , "10-12-1990" , "blue" ); console .log(p 1 ); // Person {name: "Anna...

  Basics I. Syntax 1. semi-colons; In Javascript, every expression needs a semi-colon at the end. An expression is a line of code that returns a value. Statements that are not expressions don’t need semi-colons. // variable is an expression. const x = 2 ; // function is a statement. function hello ( ) {} if (x > 1 ) { // if is statement console .log( "Hello World" ); // console.log is expression } 2. { curly braces } Curly braces identify JS objects and code blocks such as functions, conditional statements, and loops. // function function hello ( ) {} // if if (condition) { // code... } // loop for (condition) { // code... } // JS object const obj = { key : "value" } 3. console.log The console is a panel that displays important messages.
