How to Create a dashed stroke and animate a title or word
How to Create a
dashed stroke and animate a title or word:-
*the above image is with green border the same can be shown with multi colour option too.
This code will help you to create an
effect around a word or title. For this type of stroke we need to duplicate the
text as many times as colors are used. A better way to make this is to use the symbol:
HTML
<svg viewBox="0 0 600 300">
<!--
Symbol -->
<symbol id="s-text">
<text text-anchor="middle"
x="50%" y="50%" dy=".35em">
Text
</text>
</symbol>
<!--
Duplicate symbols -->
<use
xlink:href="#s-text" class="text"
></use>
<use
xlink:href="#s-text" class="text"
></use>
<use
xlink:href="#s-text" class="text"
></use>
<use
xlink:href="#s-text" class="text"
></use>
<use
xlink:href="#s-text" class="text"
></use>
</svg>
And this is how we can control the
colors and the animation:
CSS
/* Main styles */
@import
url(http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:800);
.text {
fill: none;
stroke-width: 6;
stroke-linejoin: round;
stroke-dasharray: 70 330;
stroke-dashoffset: 0;
-webkit-animation: stroke 6s infinite linear;
animation: stroke 6s infinite linear;
}
.text:nth-child(5n + 1) {
stroke: #F2385A;
-webkit-animation-delay: -1.2s;
animation-delay: -1.2s;
}
.text:nth-child(5n + 2) {
stroke: #F5A503;
-webkit-animation-delay: -2.4s;
animation-delay: -2.4s;
}
.text:nth-child(5n + 3) {
stroke: #E9F1DF;
-webkit-animation-delay: -3.6s;
animation-delay: -3.6s;
}
.text:nth-child(5n + 4) {
stroke: #56D9CD;
-webkit-animation-delay: -4.8s;
animation-delay: -4.8s;
}
.text:nth-child(5n + 5) {
stroke: #3AA1BF;
-webkit-animation-delay: -6s;
animation-delay: -6s;
}
@-webkit-keyframes stroke {
100% {
stroke-dashoffset: -400;
}
}
@keyframes stroke {
100% {
stroke-dashoffset: -400;
}
}
/* Other styles */
html, body {
height: 100%;
}
body {
background: #111;
background-size: .2em 100%;
font: 14.5em/1 Open Sans, Impact;
text-transform: uppercase;
margin: 0;
}
svg {
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
For each symbol we set an individual
animation delay, so the parts of the stroke don’t accumulate in one place but
spread through the contour of a letter.
