Animation direction: animation-direction, step 1

In addition to the animation playback count, we can define the direction of element rotation using the animation-direction property. By default, animation has a normal direction.

However, you can reverse the animation direction to make it play backwards (that is, frame to is where the playback starts and frame from is where it ends). To do this, use reverse as the value of the animation-direction property.

Let’s compare two animation directions in an example.

    1. Assign a clockwise animation to the large cogwheel .gear-big with a duration of 2s,
    2. then assign an anticlockwise animation to the small cogwheel .gear-small with a duration of 2s,
    3. then reverse the rotation of both cogwheels.
