Strikethrough Price Animation
The old price gets a slanted strike and fades back, then the new price springs up beside it. Made for pricing cards and sale banners; the strike is a pseudo-element scaled from the left.
Also known as: sale price animation css, crossed out price, discount price strike.

}Customizing this snippet
- Color: set
--txt-coloron the element or a parent. Currently previewing#3b82f6. - Font size: set
--txt-size. Every other dimension is inem, so the whole thing scales together. Currently previewing40px. - 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.
