Step 4: Now, Let’s Create a Pop Button Animation

We will be using the pseudo-element (before) to create an animation effect and place this before element absolute to its parent element which is the button element with the class name btn btn_1 to have equal width and height, we will give it by assigning the top, bottom, left, right values to 0. Therefore, before pseudo-element will have its parent’s width and height. We are giving the z-index value as -1 because we want the before element to be next to the button element. Next, give the border property to the before pseudo-element with the appropriate border color and border size.

Step 5: Increase All the Borders Size of the Button Element Using the Calc Function

Now, hovering and focusing on the button element will create a pop button animation, for that we want to move all the button border positions (i.e., for top, bottom, left, and right properties) by using the calc function and move the border position by 2 times the original border position of the button. To have smooth animation, We will use the transition property.
