How do you handle custom animations in jQuery plugins?

Senior JQuery
Quick Answer Custom plugin animations: use .animate() with a step callback for frame-by-frame control, use .queue() to sequence animations, or use CSS animations with class toggling for GPU acceleration. For complex sequences: var queue = []; queue.push(function(next) { $el.animate({...}, next); }); - a manual animation queue. Return .promise() for external composition.

Answer

Use .animate() for transitions.
Prefer animating opacity/transform.
Use callbacks or promises to control sequences.
