title: "RepeatableSpec"
description: "[RepeatableSpec] takes another [DurationBasedAnimationSpec] and plays it [iterations] times. For
creating infinitely repeating animation spec, consider using [InfiniteRepeatableSpec].

__Note__: When repeating in the [RepeatMode.Reverse] mode, it's highly recommended to have an
__odd__ number of iterations. Otherwise, the animation may jump to the end value when it finishes
the last iteration.

[initialStartOffset] can be used to either delay the start of the animation or to fast forward
the animation to a given play time. This start offset will **not** be repeated, whereas the delay
in the [animation] (if any) will be repeated. By default, the amount of offset is 0."

```kotlin
public class RepeatableSpec<T>(
    public val iterations: Int,
    public val animation: DurationBasedAnimationSpec<T>,
    public val repeatMode: RepeatMode = RepeatMode.Restart,
    public val initialStartOffset: StartOffset = StartOffset(0),
) : FiniteAnimationSpec<T>
```


`RepeatableSpec` takes another `DurationBasedAnimationSpec` and plays it `iterations` times. For
creating infinitely repeating animation spec, consider using `InfiniteRepeatableSpec`.

__Note__: When repeating in the `RepeatMode.Reverse` mode, it's highly recommended to have an
__odd__ number of iterations. Otherwise, the animation may jump to the end value when it finishes
the last iteration.

`initialStartOffset` can be used to either delay the start of the animation or to fast forward
the animation to a given play time. This start offset will **not** be repeated, whereas the delay
in the `animation` (if any) will be repeated. By default, the amount of offset is 0.

#### Parameters

| | |
| --- | --- |
| iterations | the count of iterations. Should be at least 1. |
| animation | the `AnimationSpec` to be repeated |
| repeatMode | whether animation should repeat by starting from the beginning (i.e. `RepeatMode.Restart`) or from the end (i.e. `RepeatMode.Reverse`) |
| initialStartOffset | offsets the start of the animation |



## Secondary Constructors

```kotlin
public constructor(
    iterations: Int,
    animation: DurationBasedAnimationSpec<T>,
    repeatMode: RepeatMode = RepeatMode.Restart,
) : this(iterations, animation, repeatMode, StartOffset(0))
```
