AnimateFX

AnimateFX is designed for modern Java/JavaFX environments:

• Java Compatibility: Compiled targeting Java 11 (LTS). It is fully backward compatible and supports Java 11, 17, 21, and 25+ LTS.
• Build Systems: Built using Gradle 8.7.
• Headless Environments: Safe for use in headless or JRE-only runtimes (like Docker containers) that lack a native display interface.

If you need to use the latest snapshot builds, you must add the Sonatype snapshot repository to your build configuration before declaring the dependency.

### Gradle
```groovy
repositories {
    maven { url 'https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/' }
}

dependencies {
    implementation 'io.github.typhon0:AnimateFX:1.3.1-SNAPSHOT'
}

Maven

<repositories>
    <repository>
        <id>snapshots</id>
        <name>libs-snapshot</name>
        <url>https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/</url>
    </repository>
</repositories>

<dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>io.github.typhon0</groupId>
        <artifactId>AnimateFX</artifactId>
        <version>1.3.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>

To use AnimateFX in a Maven project, add the following dependency to your pom.xml.

<dependency>
  <groupId>io.github.typhon0</groupId>
  <artifactId>AnimateFX</artifactId>
  <version>1.3.1</version>
</dependency>

To use AnimateFX in a Gradle project (versions 7.x or 8.x), add the dependency to your dependencies block. Ensure you have the java and java-library plugins applied.

plugins {
    id 'java'
    id 'java-library'
}

dependencies {
    implementation 'io.github.typhon0:AnimateFX:1.3.1'
}

You can sequence animations so that one starts immediately after another finishes using the .playOnFinished(Animation nextAnimation) method.

Safety Note: Chained animations are manual-stop safe. If you call .stop() on the parent animation, the entire chain will halt and the subsequent animation will not launch.

Text text = new Text("AnimateFX");

// When Bounce finishes naturally, BounceIn will play
new Bounce(text).playOnFinished(new BounceIn(text)).play();

To play an animation, instantiate the animation class (e.g., Bounce) with the target JavaFX Node and call .play().

Text text = new Text("AnimateFX");
new Bounce(text).play();

Animations like GlowBackground or GlowText can be instantiated with parameterless constructors and configured using builder-style setters. This allows you to define the animation properties before binding it to a specific Node later in the UI lifecycle using .setNode(Node node).

GlowBackground glow = new GlowBackground(myRegion.getBackground())
    .setColorA(Color.WHITE)
    .setColorB(Color.YELLOW)
    .setColorSteps(20);

// Set the node later in the UI lifecycle
glow.setNode(myRegion);
glow.play();
