Key Takeaways
Analyzing layers and animations with the DevTool Layers Panel by Surma
Full Transcript
from time to time we have built some fairly complex animations on supercharge some might even say unnecessarily complex so for example do remember the slips which we built at the polymer summit 2016 it looks pretty neat right but what is actually happening whenever you find one of these animations on the web it can be interesting to see how the animation was done but sometimes the code is obfuscated and it is not really obvious to see what is actually happening and what is just sleight of hands and your dev tools if you open dev tools so you can open the context menu on the right and take a look at the more tools menu there's a couple of things in there that you might not know dev tools had one of them is the layers panel set the animation speed to 10% and adjust the perspective on the layers panel so you can see the individual layers from the side if you now play the animation it becomes crystal clear what animation is happening and in what order pretty useful right so there you have it some of the less discoverable features and dev tools can prove quite useful thanks for watching and see you next time [Music] one more if you do one more okay so the deal is I need you to subscribe or watch the latest supercharged video or they won't let me go home [Music] you [Music]
