Animating SVG Attributes with anime.js

Motion Path Animation Built In
anime.js includes a built-in motion path helper that animates an element's translation and rotation along an SVG path's exact geometry, handling the underlying getPointAtLength calculations internally so a developer can move an element smoothly along a curve with just a few lines of configuration.
