The TransformDemo component provides an interactive interface for exploring CSS transform properties. Users can toggle different transforms and see the effects in real-time.

​
Features

The component demonstrates four core transform properties:
  • Translate - Move elements along X and Y axes
  • Rotate - Rotate elements by degrees
  • Scale - Resize elements proportionally
  • Skew - Slant elements along X and Y axes

​
Component structure

The component uses checkboxes to toggle each transform: 
const [activeTransforms, setActiveTransforms] = useState<TransformType[]>([])

const transforms: Record<TransformType, string> = {
  translate: 'translateX(50px) translateY(-30px)',
  rotate: 'rotate(45deg)',
  scale: 'scale(1.3)',
  skew: 'skewX(10deg)'
}

​
Usage

The component is used in the “Basics” tab of the Animation Playground: 
import TransformDemo from './components/TransformDemo'

<section>
  <h2>Transform Properties</h2>
  <p>Experiment with different transform properties to see how they affect elements.</p>
  <TransformDemo />
</section>

Educational value

This component helps users understand:
  1. How different transforms affect element positioning
  2. How transforms can be combined for complex effects
  3. The CSS syntax for transform properties
  4. The visual impact of each transform type
Transforms do not affect document flow - other elements won’t move when transforms are applied.
