Gettings Started

After downloading and extracting files, you need to identify the files that are relevant to your project and add them to your project. We have some basic CSS files and js files used commonly in all the presets. these can be found in 'css' and 'js' directories respectively

  1. default.css: Handles all the basic styling [Required]
  2. reset.css: Does the basic reset. You probably won't need it if you are already using a reset. Try it yourself. [Optional]
  3. animate.css: CSS animations [Required for Animations]
  4. awsmIcomoon.css: For the icons. [Required only if you are using icons]
  5. modernizr.js: to check CSS animation support. [Required only for animations]
  6. awsm-timeline-main.js: For CSS animations. [Required only for animations]

All the files are currently linked from the demo layouts style-01 to style-15.


Usage

Once you have selected the style you want to use in your project, link the respective stylesheet to your project.

Including Stylesheets

We have different variations timeline(15 at present) which are organized in directories "01" to "15". Link the CSS file of which style you are using. For example, if you have decided go with style-01, link 01.css. (Optionally you can even copy-paste the style to your project's main CSS files)

             <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="01.css" />
        

Basic Markup

Below is the basic markup you will have to follow throughout the timeline layout. No matter which style you choose, this will remain as your basic markup for your timeline. The class names are self-descriptive.

Timeline Date/Time here... Timeline content here..
Timeline Date/Time here... Timeline content here..

                ....
            </div><!-- awsm-timeline-block -->

Managing Icons

AWSM Timeline comes with 1000+ icons packed by default. Click here to see all the available icons. After selecting the icon, just copy the class name next to it (Ex: icon-mail-envelope) and use it in the timeline

Usage example

            <i class="icon-envelope"  aria-hidden="true"></i>

Alignment Options

We have 3 different alignment options

Alternate

You can use "awsm-alternate" class name

    
------
------

When using the alternate layout you have to add 'awsm-odd-item' and 'awsm-even-item' class names to the content blocks alternatively.

Right align

You can use "awsm-right-align" class name

        <div class="awsm-timeline awsm-right-align awsm-timeline-style-1">
            ...........
            .....
            ........
        </div><!-- awsm-timeline -->
    

Left align (Default)

When you don't specify any alignment, it will be left-aligned

        <div class="awsm-timeline awsm-timeline-style-1">
            ...........
            .....
            ........
        </div><!-- awsm-timeline -->
    

Alignment options for smaller screens (Responsive options)

You can use "awsm-responsive-right" class name to right align the timeline in responsive screens

        <div class="awsm-timeline awsm-alternate awsm-responsive-right awsm-timeline-style-1">
            ...........
            .....
            ........
        </div><!-- awsm-timeline -->
    

Alignment of Date/Time

By default, the 'date/time' element will be on the same side as the content. You can use "awsm-date-opposite" class name to show it on the opposite side.

        <div class="awsm-timeline awsm-alternate awsm-date-opposite awsm-timeline-style-1">
            ...........
            .....
            ........
        </div><!-- awsm-timeline -->
    

Breakpoints

The breakpoints are something you add in between your timeline to group the stories. For example - years. You can group stories by years and add years as breakpoints. Below is a usage example.

        <div class="awsm-timeline-block awsm-timeline-label-block" data-animation="slideInUp">
            <div class="awsm-labels">
                <span>2016</span>
            </div><!-- .awsm-start-label -->
        </div><!-- awsm-timeline-block -->
    

Start and end breakpoints can be manged by classnames

        <div class="awsm-labels awsm-start-label">
            .....
        </div>
    
        <div class="awsm-labels awsm-end-label">
            .....
        </div>
