# Cascade (`.sds-card-cascade`)

Cascade — card animation. Cards animation in SDS Motion Forge v5.0.0. It plays once as soon as the class is applied.

- Animated properties: filter, opacity, transform
- Compositor-only: yes
- Needs child elements: yes
- Needs per-character spans: no

## Use it

```html
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@salkomdesignstudio/sds-motion-forge/dist/categories/cards.min.css" />

<div class="sds-card-cascade">
  <div>One</div>
  <div>Two</div>
  <div>Three</div>
</div>
```

## How it works

Plays once, as soon as the class is applied. It animates filters (blur/brightness), opacity and movement and scale (transform) — compositor-only, so it never causes page reflow. `--sds-easing` controls the feel — override either on the element or :root (the sds-fast/sds-slow modifier classes do exactly that). The animation runs on the element's direct children — it needs child elements to be visible.
