I'd like to somehow get the target opacity (the final value it is being animated to) of an element that is fading.
For example...
$('body').fadeTo(0.4); // 0.4
$('body').fadeIn(); // 1
$('body').fadeOut(); // 0
$('body').animate({ opacity: 0.7 }); // 0.7
Is this doable in jQuery?
Update
For some background, see my answer here on Stack Overflow. I was trying to help out another user on SO and decided to ask this question that related to my answer.
jQuery uses step functions internally, you can overwrite the jQuery.fx.step.opacity
function to read the passed jQuery.fx
object:
var old = jQuery.fx.step.opacity;
jQuery.fx.step.opacity = function( fx ) {
console.log(fx.elem);
console.log(fx.end);
return old(fx);
};
The opacity step function is called on every step of every opacity animation. You would probably want to filter the above based on fx.elem
.
fx.end
is the final value of the animation, fx.now
is the current value and fx.start
is the starting value. fx.unit
is the unit of the values (in px, em, %, etc).
I don't think there would be. There is no attributes of an object that tell where it is going, only what it is at currently. Jquery is merely animating the CSS Properties.
Failing all else...
var destination = 0.4;
$('body').fadeTo(destination);
//O wow. Now we know what is fading to!
