Add animation in a switch button - html

Question

I am trying to make a switch button by using HTML elements. But I can't do animation for this. Here I have tried to use transition CSS3 property. The transition will work for some elements only and its doesn't work as expected for switch-group:before element. Is there any way to improve more animation to get an attractive one?. I have tried many links but this doesn't help with my code. I have attached code below,
input[type=checkbox] {
display: none;
}
.switch-wrapper {
position: relative;
width: 70px;
border: 1px solid;
cursor: pointer;
height: 22px;
overflow: hidden;
}
.switch-on,
.switch-off {
display: block;
width: 50%;
float: left;
height: 100%;
transition: 0.5s;
}
.switch-on {
background-color: red;
margin-left: -100%;
text-indent: -18px;
line-height: 21px;
text-align: center;
}
.switch-off {
text-indent: 18px;
line-height: 21px;
text-align: center;
background-color: aliceblue;
}
.switch-group:before {
display: block;
content: "";
position: absolute;
height: 18px;
width: 18px;
margin: 2px;
background-color: #1b191e;
top: 0px;
}
.switch-group {
display: block;
position: relative;
height: 23px;
width: 200%;
user-select: none;
}
input[type=checkbox]:checked+.switch-group .switch-on {
margin-left: 0;
}
input[type=checkbox]:checked+.switch-group:before {
right: 50%;
}
<div class="switch-wrapper">
<input type="checkbox" id="checked" />
<label class="switch-group" for="checked">
<span class="switch-on">ON</span>
<span class="switch-off">OFF</span>
</label>
</div>

Answer 1

The transition will not work in your :before pseudo element because you are changing the :before right value from auto(by default) to 0...transition does not works on auto values...
So try to use left:0 at start and then change it value on click(when input checked) using calc() and also use transtion:0.5s in :before to make it animate
input[type=checkbox] {
display: none;
}
.switch-wrapper {
position: relative;
width: 70px;
border: 1px solid;
cursor: pointer;
height: 22px;
overflow: hidden;
}
.switch-on,
.switch-off {
display: block;
width: 50%;
float: left;
height: 100%;
transition: 0.5s;
}
.switch-on {
background-color: red;
margin-left: -50%;
text-indent: -18px;
line-height: 21px;
text-align: center;
}
.switch-off {
text-indent: 18px;
line-height: 21px;
text-align: center;
background-color: aliceblue;
}
.switch-group:before {
display: block;
content: "";
position: absolute;
height: 18px;
width: 18px;
margin: 2px;
background-color: #1b191e;
top: 0px;
left: 0;
transition: 0.5s;
}
.switch-group {
display: block;
position: relative;
height: 23px;
width: 200%;
user-select: none;
}
input[type=checkbox]:checked+.switch-group .switch-on {
margin-left: 0;
}
input[type=checkbox]:checked+.switch-group:before {
left: calc(50% - 22px);
}
<div class="switch-wrapper">
<input type="checkbox" id="checked" />
<label class="switch-group" for="checked">
<span class="switch-on">ON</span>
<span class="switch-off">OFF</span>
</label>
</div>
Or if you want your code to work in more intuitive way, try to use opacity instead of margin.
I have changed some of your css a little bit
input[type=checkbox] {
display: none;
}
.switch-wrapper {
position: relative;
width: 70px;
border: 1px solid;
cursor: pointer;
height: 22px;
overflow: hidden;
}
.switch-on,
.switch-off {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
bottom: 0;
transition: 0.5s;
padding: 2px 6px;
}
.switch-on {
background-color: red;
line-height: 21px;
opacity: 0;
}
.switch-off {
line-height: 21px;
background-color: aliceblue;
opacity: 1;
text-align: right;
}
.switch-group:before {
display: block;
content: "";
position: absolute;
height: 18px;
width: 18px;
margin: 2px;
background-color: #1b191e;
top: 0px;
left: 0;
transition: 0.5s;
z-index: 99;
}
.switch-group {
display: block;
position: relative;
height: 23px;
user-select: none;
}
input[type=checkbox]:checked+.switch-group .switch-on {
opacity: 1;
}
input[type=checkbox]:checked+.switch-group .switch-off {
opacity: 0;
}
input[type=checkbox]:checked+.switch-group:before {
left: calc(100% - 22px);
}
<div class="switch-wrapper">
<input type="checkbox" id="checked" />
<label class="switch-group" for="checked">
<span class="switch-on">ON</span>
<span class="switch-off">OFF</span>
</label>
</div>

}
.onoffswitch-checkbox:checked + .onoffswitch-label, .onoffswitch-checkbox:checked + .onoffswitch-label:before {
border-color: #2DC76D;
}
.onoffswitch-checkbox:checked + .onoffswitch-label:before {
right: 0px;
}
.onoffswitch-checkbox:checked + .onoffswitch-label span.switch-off {
opacity: 0;
}
.onoffswitch-checkbox:checked + .onoffswitch-label span.switch-on{
opacity: 1;
}
span.switch-off {

}
span.switch-on {
position: absolute;
font-size: 12px;
top: 50%;
