These look like custom CSS properties (CSS variables) used to control an animation. Breakdown:
- -sd-animation: sd-fadeIn;
- Likely a custom property naming convention (prefix -sd-). The value “sd-fadeIn” probably references a named animation defined elsewhere (e.g., a keyframes rule or a CSS class that applies keyframes).
- –sd-duration: 0ms;
- Animation duration. 0ms means the animation completes instantly (no visible transition).
- –sd-easing: ease-in;
- Timing function controlling acceleration. “ease-in” starts slow and speeds up.
How they work together
- A component or stylesheet likely reads these variables to apply an animation, e.g.:
animation-name: var(-sd-animation);animation-duration: var(–sd-duration);animation-timing-function: var(–sd-easing); - With duration 0ms the animation will not animate visually; it will jump immediately to the final state. If you want a visible fade-in, set –sd-duration to a positive value (e.g., 300ms) and ensure sd-fadeIn is defined, for example:
@keyframes sd-fadeIn {from { opacity: 0; transform: translateY(8px); } to { opacity: 1; transform: translateY(0); }}
Notes and tips
- Confirm where “sd-fadeIn” is defined (keyframes or utility class).
- Use consistent variable names (custom properties must start with – to be standard; -sd-animation is nonstandard but valid as a custom property name).
- For accessibility, avoid instant animations for content users need to perceive; prefer reduced-motion support:
@media (prefers-reduced-motion: reduce) { :root { –sd-duration: 0ms; }}
If you want, I can convert these into a complete example component or show how to change them for a smooth fade-in.
