How to add CSS animation on click with JavaScript?

To add CSS animation on click with JavaScript, we add animation effects for a class.

For instance, we write

.classname {
  -webkit-animation-name: cssAnimation;
  -webkit-animation-duration: 3s;
  -webkit-animation-iteration-count: 1;
  -webkit-animation-timing-function: ease;
  -webkit-animation-fill-mode: forwards;
}

@-webkit-keyframes cssAnimation {
  from {
    -webkit-transform: rotate(0deg) scale(1) skew(0deg) translate(100px);
  }
  to {
    -webkit-transform: rotate(0deg) scale(2) skew(0deg) translate(100px);
  }
}

to add animation to the classname class.

In it, we add the keyframes for the animation.

Then we write

const ani = () => {
  document.getElementById("img").className = "classname";
};

to define the ani function that selects the element to animate with getElementById.

And we set its className to 'classname' to apply the animation effects that’s applied for the class.
