Hi,

 

I'm trying to use the ternary operator on a tween to have two different colours depending on the window size of part of a menu after being clicked.

 

The actual animation is part of an SVG timeline, but I've simplified it down in the codepen with one div.

 

What I'm trying to do is use the ternary operator to change the color dependent on window size.

 

In the past I've used it on animation duration values like this:

 

.to("#square", window.innerWidth > 736 ? 1.5 : 1, {opacity: 1})

 

I can't seem to get it work on tween property values inside the curly braces though?

 

Doing the following won't work:

 

.to("#square", 1, {window.innerWidth > 736 ? background: "red", : background: "blue" })

 

Is there a simple way within a timeline to have an if/else or ternary operator on the property:value pairs of a tween, that I can change dependent on window size?

 

The only other option I guess would be to duplicate the entire timeline in another if/else statement

The first part inside the object is key and second part is value, so you need to use ternary operator in value part.

 

.to("#square", 1, {backgroundColor: window.innerWidth > 736 ?  "red" : "yellow" });

Also, by declaring timeline outside of function you were adding all tweens to same timeline even though you won't be reusing them.
