Following the instructions of Material Design Lite's README, I have successfully build and served the local version of MDL website. I found that folder material-design-lite\dist\ was served.

What I curious about is, there is a folder called animation, and its path is material-design-lite\dist\components\animation. However, I can't seem to navigate to there by clicking here and there on MDL website. I can access through https://getmdl.io/components/animation/demo.html though.

Anyone have insight on this? Is there any place or thing that I overlooked?

Animation is not a component on its own per-say but just a quick set of classes to get our transitions in place if you need them.

There aren't any documents on this since explaining how and why it should be used gets into murky territory for documentation authors trying to explain it concisely.

  • Thanks for explaining. So the classes are actually reflecting this documentation [Duration and easing](https://www.google.com/design/spec/motion/duration-easing.html#duration-easing-natural-easing-curves), minus the `Sharp curve`, is that correct? – Tan Jia Ming May 17 '16 at 03:32
  • The classes are our best setup for Material Animations on the web. As far as where exactly they came from, I do not know myself since I didn't build them. I'd assume they were as specific to the specification as they could get. – Garbee May 17 '16 at 10:41
