Trash Can Delete Button
Click delete and the bin's lid swings open, a sheet of paper drops in, the lid slams shut and the can squashes before the label reads 'Deleted'. The SVG parts move with fill-box transforms.
Also known as: delete button animation css, trash button animation, delete file button.

}Customizing this snippet
- Color: set
--btn-coloron the element or a parent. Currently previewing#3b82f6. - Base size: set
--btn-size. Every other dimension is inem, so the whole thing scales together. Currently previewing18px. - Speed: change the duration on the
transitionoranimationshorthand. Staggered delays are relative, so they keep their rhythm. - Reduced motion: the rule at the end of the CSS turns the motion off for people who asked their OS for less of it. Keep it.
