buildAnimationConfig(): FlashAnimationConfig {
  return {
    preset: this.isSpecial() ? 'explode' : 'fade-in',

🧪 Testing Guide

1. Test New Route Animations

// Update a route to test new animations
{
  path: 'test-page',
  data: { animation: 'explode' }  // Try: cube, vortex, spiral, wave
}

2. Test New Element Presets

<!-- Test new presets -->
<div flashAnim="morph">Shape shifting</div>
<div flashAnim="scatter">Particles</div>
<div flashAnim="typewriter">Typing text</div>
<div flashAnim="spotlight">Dramatic reveal</div>

3. Test Dynamic Inputs

<!-- Test component override -->
<my-component [flashRouteAnimation]="'cube'">

<!-- Test config object -->
<div [flashAnimConfig]="{ preset: 'vortex', repeat: 3 }">

4. Test Advanced Timing

<!-- Test complex timing -->
<div flashAnim="explode"
     [flashAnimRepeat]="3"
     flashAnimDirection="alternate"
     [flashAnimDelay]="500">
