transition-timing-function

Defines the 'curve' or speed of a transition over its duration. It determines if the animation starts slow, ends fast, or follows a custom cubic-bezier path for more natural movement.

Quick example

.drawer {
  /* Gives a bouncy, natural feel to the sliding animation */
  transition-timing-function: cubic-bezier(0.175, 0.885, 0.32, 1.275);
  transition-duration: 0.6s;
}
