Motion Table of Contents Duration When objects move within a limited area, shorter durations are needed, compared to objects that cover larger distances. The duration of an animation directly affects the perceived lag time for users. To prevent this, it is essential to ensure that motion is swift, subtle, and purposeful. Token JS/SCSSDurationUsagemotionDurationShort
$pds-motion-duration-short
0.25sFor hover effects, consider elements like Buttons, Checkboxes, Switches, or the display of Popovers.
motionDurationModerate
$pds-motion-duration-moderate
0.4sBest suited for elements that require moderate motion, such as the Slide transitions in Carousels, Modals, and Link-Tiles.
motionDurationLong
$pds-motion-duration-long
0.6sThis duration is ideal for creating longer, more deliberate animations. It's commonly used for animations associated with Notifications and Flyouts, where a slightly slower and more controlled motion is desired.
motionDurationVeryLong
$pds-motion-duration-very-long
1.2sReserved for the longest animations, this duration is perfect for elements like Spinners and Skeleton loaders, where a very deliberate and gradual animation is necessary to convey loading or progress.
Easing Effects are the key for turning components from static to interactive and keeping UI elements alive. Token JS/SCSSEasing DemoUsagemotionEasingBase
$pds-motion-easing-base
x: Time | y: Progression Buttons (hover and active states).
Tabs or segments switching.
Basic fade-in and fade-out animations.
motionEasingIn
$pds-motion-easing-in
x: Time | y: Progression Elements like Banners/Toasts or Modals that appear quickly and then ease into view.
Elements like Flyouts that slide in from off-screen and then slow down.
motionEasingOut
$pds-motion-easing-out
x: Time | y: Progression Closing animations for Modals or Flyouts.
Elements sliding out of view fast.

Styles The styles are available as JavaScript and SCSS version. Look at the example above to see how the styles work. JS When using JSS, styled-components etc. JavaScript styles can be imported by: import { … } from '@porsche-design-system/components-{js|angular|react|vue}/styles';. When using vanilla-extract JavaScript styles can be imported by: import { … } from '@porsche-design-system/components-{js|angular|react|vue}/styles/vanilla-extract';. motionDurationShort motionDurationModerate motionDurationLong motionDurationVeryLong motionEasingBase motionEasingIn motionEasingOut SCSS SCSS styles can be imported by @use '@porsche-design-system/components-{js|angular|react|vue}/styles' as *; $pds-motion-duration-short $pds-motion-duration-moderate $pds-motion-duration-long $pds-motion-duration-very-long $pds-motion-easing-base $pds-motion-easing-in $pds-motion-easing-out
Global settingsThemeChanges the theme of the application and any Porsche Design System component. It's possible to choose between forced theme light and dark. It's also possible to use auto, which applies light or dark theme depending on the operating system settings automatically.LightDarkAuto (sync with operating system)DirectionChanges the direction of HTML elements, mostly used on<html> tag to support languages which are read from right to left like e.g. Arabic.LTR (left-to-right)RTL (right-to-left)AutoText ZoomChanges the text size and values with unit rem or em relatively. This setting can be defined in browser settings for any website or by an application itself on<html> tag. To achieve WCAG 2.2 AA compliance it's obligatory to support text zoom up to at least 200%.100%130%150%200%
