How to create twitter’s like button-jQuery animation examples?

In this article, I will show you how to use animate in jQuery for “like” button.  Create a css class with background image, size, transition and animation effects, etc. for implementing twitter’s social like button using css3 library.

When the user clicks the like button heart it will be bursting for the period of time continuously. The image background position changes from left to right using jQuery button animation effects.  

Step 1: Create a css class file and named as heart.css. Copy and paste the following code.

.heart {
    cursor: pointer;
    height: 50px;
    width: 50px;
    background-image: url( 'http://www.infinetsoft.com/Uploads/20161111063754heartanimation.png');
    background-position: left;
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-size: 2900%;
}

    .heart:hover {
        background-position: right;
    }

.animating {
    animation: heart-burst .800s steps(28) 2;
}
 
@keyframes heart-burst {
    from {
        background-position: left;
    }
 
    to {
        background-position: right;
    }
}

Step 2: Copy and paste the following code.

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.12.4/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
        $(document).ready(function () {
            $(".heart").on('click touchstart', function () {
                $(this).toggleClass('animating');
            });
 
            $(".heart").on('animationend', function () {
                $(this).toggleClass('animating');
            });
 
        });
    </script>
 <div class="heart">

  </div>
