Introduction to the method of CSS3 Cubic-Bezier() to achieve link hover animation effect

We will use CSS3 animated transitions to create a simple but engaging link hover effect that will cause a small popup to pop up when you hover your mouse over a link.

We'll also take a look atCSS3 Cubic-Bezier curves, which are CSS transitions that provide smoother motion for popovers, rather than rigid mechanical motion.

This is our final effect:

Let’s let's start!

HTML part

This is the HTML of our link, the icon comes from iconfont.cn.

The span tag will become a popup when you hover over the link. Next, we get into CSS.

CSS Styles and Animations

We center the p container so that the two links are centered on the screen. This also makes it easy to animate small pop-ups as they will pop up from the top of the link.

p.container { display: inline-block; position:absolute; top:50%; left:50%; -ms-transform:translate(-50%,-50%); -webkit-transform:translate(-50%,-50%); transform:translate(-50%,-50%); }

Next, we style the link, create a simple background hover effect, and position the social media icons.

a { color:#fff; background: #8a938b; border-radius:4px; text-align:center; text-decoration:none; position: relative; display: inline-block; width: 120px; height: 100px; padding-top:12px; margin:0 2px; -o-transition:all .5s; -webkit-transition: all .5s; -moz-transition: all .5s; transition: all .5s; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; }a:hover { background: #5a665e; }i{ font-size: 45px; vertical-align: middle; display: inline-block; position: relative; top: 20%; }

Next, we will style and animate the popup text.

a span { color:#666; position:absolute; font-family: 'Chelsea Market', cursive; bottom:0; left:-15px; right:-15px; padding: 15px 7px; z-index:-1; font-size:14px; border-radius:5px; background:#fff; visibility:hidden; opacity:0; -o-transition:all .5s cubic-bezier(0.68, -0.55, 0.265, 1.55); -webkit-transition: all .5s cubic-bezier(0.68, -0.55, 0.265, 1.55); -moz-transition: all .5s cubic-bezier(0.68, -0.55, 0.265, 1.55); transition: all .5s cubic-bezier(0.68, -0.55, 0.265, 1.55); }/* 当图标处于悬停状态时，文本将弹出 */ a:hover span { bottom: 130px; visibility:visible; opacity:1; }

CSS3Cubic-BezierThe curve consists of four pointsp0,p1,p2andp3definition. Point p0 is the starting point of the curve, and point p3 is the end point of the curve. The more linear the curve, the stiffer (or less fluid) the movement.

If one point is positive at first and the next point is negative, the motion will be slow at first. When the point value becomes higher than the previous point value, the movement speeds up.

This is the meaning of Cubic-Bezier points in CSS. Since the animation is short, the movements are subtle. The popover starts slowly at the bottom of the square and then starts to accelerate towards the top.

Although you can create animations without Cubic-Bezier curve transitions, the animations differ as follows:

Animation with Cubic-Bezier curve transitions

Animation without Cubic-Bezier curve transition

As you can see, the animation adds life to the hover effect.

The last set of CSS involves styling the little arrow at the bottom of the popup. To learn more about how to make triangles in CSS, check out this CSS tips article.

Summary

We created a minimalist button style link. Links have a basic background hover effect, but we don't stop there. We added a small popup to display the text of the link. With the help of CSS3 Cubic-Bezier Sel curves, the animation is smooth and pleasing to the eye.
