TheSVGAnimationElement methodgetSimpleDuration() returns a float representing the number of seconds for the simple duration for this animation.

Simple duration refers to the length of time an animation is supposed to run for a single iteration, without considering repeats, restarts, or extensions.

This property reflects thedur attribute of the<animate>,<animateMotion> or<animateTransform> element.

Syntax

getSimpleDuration()

Parameters

None (undefined).

Return value

A float.

Exceptions

NotSupportedErrorDOMException

Thrown if theSVGAnimationElement's simple duration is undefined (e.g., the end time is indefinite). This happens when thedur attribute is set toindefinite or is undefined, as then the simple duration is considered undefined.

Examples

This example demonstrates how thedur="3s" attribute defines a simple duration of 3 seconds.

<svg width="200" height="200" viewBox="0 0 200 200">  <circle cx="50" cy="50" r="20" fill="rebeccapurple">    <animate      attributeName="cx"      from="50"      to="150"      dur="3s"      repeatCount="indefinite" />  </circle></svg>

const animationElement = document.querySelector("animate");const simpleDuration = animationElement.getSimpleDuration();console.log(`The simple duration is: ${simpleDuration} seconds`); // Output: 3

SincerepeatCount="indefinite" specifies continuous looping, the effective duration is infinite, but the simple duration remains 3 seconds per iteration.
