# Custom Property Animation


The property animation is an illusion of movement created on the UI when the value of an animatable property changes over time. It is implemented by setting continuous value changes of a property to the property API that can cause the UI re-render.


ArkUI provides the [@AnimatableExtend](../quick-start/arkts-animatable-extend.md) decorator for customizing animatable property APIs, which accepts only parameters of the number type or a custom type that implements [AnimtableArithmetic\<T>](../quick-start/arkts-animatable-extend.md) to deliver continuous value changes. During execution of **animateTo** or **animation** with a custom animatable property API and the animatable data type, the frame-by-frame callback is used to change the value of a non-animatable property so that an animation effect can be applied to the property.


## Animating Font Size Changes with Number Data Type and \@AnimatableExtend Decorator


```ts
// Step 1: Use the @AnimatableExtend decorator to customize an animatable property API.
@AnimatableExtend(Text) function animatableFontSize(size: number) {
  .fontSize(size) // Invoke the system property API.
}

@Entry
@Component
struct AnimatablePropertyExample {
  @State fontSize: number = 20;

  build() {
    Column() {
      Text("AnimatableProperty")
        .animatableFontSize(this.fontSize) // Step 2: Set the custom animatable property API on the component.
        .animation({ duration: 1000, curve: "ease" }) // Step 3: Bind an animation to the custom animatable property API.
      Button("Play")
        .onClick(() => {
          this.fontSize = this.fontSize == 20 ? 36 : 20; // Step 4: Change the value of the custom animatable property to generate an animation.
        })
    }.width("100%")
    .padding(10)
  }
}
```
