Transition on hover

December 26, 2021

How can I make smooth animation when I hover my icon, transition from left to right. I try with transition but that didn’t work. Sorry for my bad english.

.menu-icon {
    height: auto;
    background-color: tomato;
    padding: 10px;
    fill: white;
    border-radius: 100px;
}

.menu-icon:hover::after {
    content: 'Početna';
    font-size: 0.7em;
    vertical-align: middle;
    transition: 300ms;
}

>Solution :

Please check the updated HTML and CSS below:

.menu-icon {
  height: auto;
  background-color: tomato;
  padding: 10px;
  fill: white;
  border-radius: 100px;
}

span {
  display: inline-block;
  vertical-align: middle;
  width: 0;
  overflow: hidden;
  white-space: nowrap;
  transition: width 300ms linear;
}

i:hover span {
  width: 110px;
}
