Customizable animations

A system comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• one or more processors and/or circuits coupled to the memory and configured to:
• receive, via a declarative programming wizard, a request to configure a visual component of an application to present an animation based on a a condition and a frequency option indicating how often the animation is to be presented when the condition is true;
• generate a record comprising the condition and the frequency option;
• send application code associated with the application to a client device;
• receive, from the client device in response to execution of the application code, a request for animation information associated with the record, wherein the request for animation information includes an application identifier associated with the application;
• identify the record based at least in part on the application identifier;
• generate the animation information based upon the record, wherein the application information comprises the condition and the frequency option;
• and
• send the animation information to the client device, wherein the application executing on the client device causes the visual component to present the animation based on evaluation of the animation information.

A non-transitory computer-readable device having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by at least one computing device, cause the at least one computing device to perform operations comprising:

• receiving application code including an animation manager and a visual component;
• determining an application identifier based on the application code;
• sending a request for animation information based on the application code, wherein the request includes the application identifier;
• receiving the animation information from a service, the animation information identifying an animation associated with the visual component, a condition, and a frequency option indicating how often the animation is to be presented when the condition is true;
• determining an evaluation result based on the animation information;
• generating, by the animation manager, an animation component associated with the animation based on the evaluation result;
• and
• presenting the animation via the animation component.
