CountUp.js

CountUp.js is a dependency-free, lightweight JavaScript "class" that can be used to quickly create animations that display numerical data in a more interesting way.

Despite its name, CountUp can count in either direction, depending on the startVal and endVal params that you pass.

CountUp.js supports all browsers.

Installation

Simply include the countUp.js file in your project or install via npm or bower using the package name countup.js or countUp.js respectively.

Angular directive

If you are using Angular, you can use the included Angular module. Use the count-up attribute to quickly create an animation. It also integrates nicely with the Angular-scroll-spy directive. The Angular directive only requires an end-val attribute, but will also accept start-val, duration, decimals, and options. id is not needed. You must include both countUp.js and the module to use the Angular directive. Check out the angular demo and see usage examples below.

Angular 2 directive

An identical Angular 2 version of the directive compatible with version ^2.0.0 is also provided. Simply import the module from dist/ into your application module's imports array. See example below.

React component

If you are using React, there is a React component wrapper react-countup that can be used right out of the box and takes all the complexity for you. It supports all common options and features including easing, separator, decimals, callbacks onStart and onComplete. Check out the React demo and see usage examples below.

jQuery

A jQuery version is also included in case you like dollar signs.

WordPress plugin

Add CountUp to your WordPress site with this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/countup-js/

Usage:

Params:

  • target = id of html element, input, svg text element, or var of previously selected element/input where counting occurs
  • startVal = the value you want to begin at
  • endVal = the value you want to arrive at
  • decimals = (optional) number of decimal places in number, default 0
  • duration = (optional) duration in seconds, default 2
  • options = (optional, see demo) formatting/easing options object

Decimals, duration, and options can be left out to use the default values.

var numAnim = new CountUp("SomeElementYouWantToAnimate", 24.02, 99.99);
numAnim.start();

with optional callback:

numAnim.start(someMethodToCallOnComplete);

// or an anonymous function
numAnim.start(function() {
    // do something
})

Other methods:

Toggle pause/resume:

numAnim.pauseResume();

Reset an animation:

numAnim.reset();

Update the end value and animate:

var someValue = 1337;
numAnim.update(someValue);

Animating to large numbers

For large numbers, since CountUp has a long way to go in just a few seconds, the animation seems to abruptly stop. The solution is to subtract 100 from your endVal, then use the callback to invoke the update method which completes the animation with the same duration with a difference of only 100 to animate:

var endVal = 9645.72;
var numAnim = new CountUp("targetElem", 0, endVal - 100, 2, duration/2);
numAnim.start(function() {
	numAnim.update(endVal);
});

Angular

If you are using Angular, (not required), create your animation like the examples below. Make sure you include both countUp.js and angular-countUp.js, and inject the countUpModule.

<h2 count-up end-val="873.4"></h2>

With angular-scroll-spy:

<h2 count-up id="numberAnimation" end-val="873.4" scroll-spy-event="elementFirstScrolledIntoView" scroll-spy></h2>

Angular 2

The directive is compatible with Angular version ^2.0.0. Make sure countUp.js is loaded as a global dependency during bootstrapping.

Note the value for the options parameter is passed directly to the directive attribute selector.

import {Component, NgModule} from '@angular/core';

import {CountUpModule} from 'countup.js/dist/countUp.module';

@NgModule({
   imports: [CountUpModule],
   bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule {}

// ...
// ...
// Use in some component contained within the importing module...

@Component({
   selector: 'counting-header',
   template: `
        <h1 countUp="{useEasing: false}"
            [startVal]="myStartVal"
            [endVal]="myEndVal"
            [reanimateOnClick]="false"></h1>
   `
})
export class CountingHeaderComponent {
    @Input()
    myStartVal: number;

    @Input()
    myEndVal: number;
}

React

If you are using React, (not required) with react-countup, just simply do:

import CountUp from 'react-countup';

render(
  <CountUp start={0} end={160526} />,
  document.getElementById('root')
);

Your CountUp component will start to count up right after the component has been mounted.

Custom easing:

You can optionally apply your custom easing function, which will receive 4 parameters necessary to calculate a Bezier curve:

  • t (the current time);
  • b (the beginning value);
  • c (the difference between the beginning and destination value);
  • d (the total time of the tween).

You could use any of Robert Penner's easing functions. Just avoid using "bouncy" functions, because they cause counting in both directions

If you don't specify a custom easing function, CountUp uses the default easeOutExpo.

Example:

var easeOutCubic = function(t, b, c, d) {
    var ts = (t /= d) * t;
    var tc = ts * t;
    return b + c * (1.77635683940025e-15 * tc * ts + 0.999999999999998 * tc + -3 * ts + 3 * t);
};
var options = {
  easingFn: easeOutCubic
};
var demo = new CountUp("myTargetElement", 24.02, 94.62, 2, 2.5, options);
demo.start();

Contributing

Before you make a pull request, please be sure to follow these super simple instructions:

  1. Do your work on the countUp.js and/or other files in the root directory.
  2. In Terminal, cd to the countUp.js directory.
  3. Run npm install, which installs gulp and its dependencies.
  4. Run gulp, which copies and minifies the .js files to the dist folder.
