Can someone show me how to write this in vanilla js?

Hi i have this query code and need it in regular old javascript but i have no idea how to do it. I'e looked at the query source and am lost. Thanks to anyone who can assist

function ldr() {
    $.fn.ldrAni = function () {
        $(this).animate({
            opacity: '1'
        }, 250).animate({
            marginTop: '-10px'
        }, 250).animate({
            marginTop: '8px'
        }, 250).animate({
            marginTop: '3px'
        }, 100);
    };
    $('.d1').ldrAni();
    $('.d2').delay(500).ldrAni();
    $('.d3').delay(900).ldrAni();

Can I ask why you want to use plain JS instead of using jQuery?

I'm not a JS expert, but I think this would have to be a pretty extensive answer. One line of Jquery doesn't equal just one line of javascript (it could take many many lines to replicate what you are doing in a line of JQuery). That being said, if you really want help, break it down into pieces. Look at the animate() function in the Jquery library (which I think you have done). Try to replicate it in JS, then come back and post what you have tried and what you have questions about. This question is just way to broad as is.

Here's a quick example of someone trying to figure how to animate opacity in vanilla js. Hope that helps get you started.
