How to slide an element in and out from left in Angular

We'll create a simple component called image-animation-demo.

ng generate component image-animation-demo

We'll open the component's Typescript file and create the slideInLeft animation as well as a toggle function.

import { animate, state, style, transition, trigger } from '@angular/animations';
import { Component } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
  selector: 'image-animation-demo',
  templateUrl: './image-animation-demo.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./image-animation-demo.component.css'],
  animations: [
    trigger('slideInLeft', [
      transition(':enter', [
        style({ transform: 'translateX(-100%)' }),
        animate('500ms ease-out', style({ transform: 'translateX(0)' })),
      ]),
      transition(":leave", [
        animate('500ms ease-out', style({ transform: 'translateX(-100%)' })),
      ])
    ])
  ],
})
export class ImageAnimationDemoComponent {
  imageVisible = true;

  toggleImage() {
    this.imageVisible == false ? this.imageVisible = true : this.imageVisible = false
  }
}

And the HTML.
