Abstract

Disclosed herein are system, method, and device embodiments for implementing a customizable animation experience. A multi-tenant service may associate an animation element with a visual component of an application, and generate a markup component including an animation parameter configured to customize the animation element within the application code. Further, the multi-tenant service may receive a request for the animation from an animation manager based on execution of the application code, and send the animation information to the animation manager. In some embodiments, the animation manager is configured to set the animation parameter to the animation information and present an animation associated with the animation element based on the animation parameter.

Claims (34)

1. A method, comprising:

generating a markup component within application code of an application, the markup component including an animation parameter configured to customize an animation element;

receiving, from a animation manager based on execution of the application code, a request for animation information associated with the animation element and an identifier associated with the application code; and

sending, to the animation manager, the animation information from a record corresponding to the identifier associated with the application code, the animation manager configured to set the animation parameter to the animation information and display a first animation associated with the animation element according to the set animation parameter and based on completion of a path stage of a visual component of the application that includes a second animation for the application, wherein the first animation for the application is independent from the second animation.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the animation parameter within the application code is set to a value within the animation information.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the animation parameter corresponds to an appearance attribute of a graphical object displayed within the animation.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving the animation information from a client device via a declarative programming wizard; and

associating the animation information with an identifier corresponding to the application.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the markup component is an inline scalable vector graphics markup.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the record corresponding to the identifier associated with the application code is stored in a multi-tenant service associated with a tenant corresponding to the application based on the identifier.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the path stage comprises a plurality of path stage components and the animation is presented at each completion of two or more path stage components of the plurality of path stage components.

8. A system comprising:

a memory; and

a processor coupled to the memory and configured to perform operations comprising:

generating a markup component within application code of an application, the markup component including an animation parameter configured to customize an animation element;

receiving from an animation manager based on execution of the application code, a request for animation information associated with the animation element and an identifier associated with the application code; and

sending, to the animation manager, the animation information from a record corresponding to the identifier associated with the application code, the animation manager configured to set the animation parameter to the animation information and display a first animation associated with the animation element according to the set animation parameter and based on completion of a path stage of a visual component of the application that includes a second animation for the application, wherein the first animation for the application is independent from the second animation.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the animation parameter within the application code is set to a value within the animation information.

10. The system of claim 8 , wherein the animation parameter corresponds to an appearance attribute of a graphical object displayed within the animation.

11. The system of claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise:

receiving the animation information from a client device via a declarative programming wizard; and

associating the animation information with an application identifier corresponding to the application.

12. The system of claim 8 , wherein the record corresponding to the identifier associated with the application code is stored in a multi-tenant service associated with a tenant corresponding to the application based on the identifier.

13. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by at least one computing device, cause the at least one computing device to perform operations comprising:

generating a markup component within application code of an application, the markup component including an animation parameter configured to customize an animation element;

receiving, from an animation manager based on execution of the application code, a request for animation information associated with the animation element and an identifier associated with the application code; and

sending, to the animation manager, the animation information from a record corresponding to the identifier associated with the application code, the animation manager configured to set the animation parameter to the animation information and display a first animation associated with the animation element according to the set animation parameter and based on completion of a path stage of a visual component of the application that includes a second animation for the application, wherein the first animation for the application is independent from the second animation.

14. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the animation parameter within the application code is set to a value within the animation information.

15. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the animation parameter corresponds to an appearance attribute of a graphical object displayed within the animation.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , the operations further comprising:

receiving the animation information from a client device via a declarative programming wizard; and

associating the animation information with an identifier corresponding to the application.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the markup component is an inline scalable vector graphics markup.
