Usage

• Use shift key while dragging keys to snap them to existing one or to current time cursor.
• Use alt key while dragging keys to scale them.
• Click on a item label in the timeline to open the editor on the right. From there you can set values and add keys.
• Double click on a property timeline to add a key.

The API is relatively minimal and clearly not definitive now so there is no real documentation yet. But if you are curious check the code of the 2 exemples above.

Another javascript timeline?

At first I created this for an internal project. But to be honest it is also to learn a bit more about d3js, play with some ideas and see where it goes. Hopefully this may be useful for someone else.

Some timeline libraries already exist and they may be a more appropriate choice for production use:

1. Timeline.js by Marcin Ignac
2. Keytime Editor by Matt DesLauriers
3. Frame.js by Ricardo Cabello
4. timeliner by Joshua Koo

So what are the differences?

• Heavy use of d3.js to display the timeline.
• Use TimelineMax to update the values.
• Not meant to be lightweight, this explains the dependencies.
• Written in es6 and transpiled to es5 with 6to5.
