Inspecting the returned CSSTransition

The transition in the following example changes the width of the box on hover. Calling {{domxref("Element.getAnimations()")}} returns an array of all {{domxref("Animation")}} objects. In our case this returns a CSSTransition object, representing the animation created.

.box {
  background-color: #165baa;
  color: white;
  width: 100px;
  height: 100px;
  transition: width 4s;
}

.box:hover {
  width: 200px;
}

const item = document.querySelector(".box");
item.addEventListener("transitionrun", () => {
  let animations = document.querySelector(".box").getAnimations();
  console.log(animations[0]);
});
