Importing

You can import the easing functions you want using ES6 imports

import { easeInOutBack } from 'js-easing-functions';

Example use

Note: this is a rough function to give you an idea of how to use an easing function. Your implementation will probably need more checks to ensure the final value at the end of the animation is the one you specified.

import { easeInOutBack } from 'js-easing-functions';

const elemToAnimate = document.querySelector('.MyElem');
const duration = 2000;
const startPosition = 0;
const endPosition = 100;

let startTime;

function tick() {
  const elapsed = Date.now() - startTime;
  this.elemToAnimate.transform = `translateY(${easeInOutBack(elapsed, startPosition, endPosition, duration)}px)`;
  
  if (elapsed < duration)
    requestAnimationFrame(tick);
  }
}

function animate() {
  startTime = Date.now();
  tick();
}

animate();

If anyone can tell me what the s parameter in the easeInBack, easeOutBack, and easeInOutBack functions represent please let me know and I'll rename the symbols.
