This is an experimental technology
Because this technology's specification has not stabilized, check the compatibility table for usage in various browsers. Also note that the syntax and behavior of an experimental technology is subject to change in future versions of browsers as the specification changes.

The Animation.finish() method of the Animation Interface seeks to either end of an animation, depending on whether the animation is playing or reversing.

Syntax

animation.finish(); 

Parameters

None.

Return Value

None.

Exceptions

An InvalidState error is raised if the player's playback rate is 0 or the animation's playback rate is greater than 0 and the end time of the animation is infinity.

Examples

The following example shows how to use the finish() method and catch an InvalidState error.

interfaceElement.addEventListener("mousedown", function() {
  try {
    player.finish();
  } catch(e if e instanceof InvalidState) {
    console.log("finish() called on paused or finished animation.");
  } catch(e);
    logMyErrors(e); //pass exception object to error handler
  }
});

The following example finishes all the animations on a single element, regardless of their direction of playback.

elem.getAnimations().forEach(
  function(animation){ 
    return animation.finish();
  }
);
