Composing Multiple Animations
We can use the shorthand form to specify all animation properties. The syntax is following:
animation: <name> <duration> <timing_function> <delay> <iteration-count> <direction> <fill-mode> <play-state>
Let's rewrite the next properties briefly.
Long way
animation-name: Rotation;
animation-duration: 5s;
animation-timing-function: cubic-bezier(0.075, 0.82, 0.165, 1);
animation-delay: 100ms;
animation-iteration-count: infinite;
animation-direction: alternate;
animation-fill-mode: backwards;
animation-play-state: running;
shorthand
animation: Rotation 5s cubic-bezier(0.075, 0.82, 0.165, 1) 100ms infinite alternate backwards running;
It looks so confusing, and we can miss some value easily. However, we have such an opportunity.
Note
For the browser, there is no difference between the shorthand and the long way of specifying the animation.

Can you explain what each value in the shorthand means?
Are there any best practices for using the shorthand animation property?
What happens if I omit some values in the shorthand?
Awesome!
