I have this SVG

<svg width="455" height="102" viewBox="0 0 455 102" fill="none" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
<path d="M451.556 25.1576C435.152 73.3258 366.885 125.586 296.309 84.449C257.221 59.9286 203.507 18.9945 182.449 13.1117C114.633 -12.4168 41.0939 12.8604 2.57437 66.1813" stroke="white" stroke-width="5" stroke-miterlimit="10" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-dasharray="10 20 10 20 10 20"/>

</svg>

My goal is to animate each square a blue color based on some application state , the idea is that it is a loader and it finishes all blue once the data has came in. So the end result will look like this

<svg width="455" height="102" viewBox="0 0 455 102" fill="none" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
<path d="M451.556 25.1576C435.152 73.3258 366.885 125.586 296.309 84.449C257.221 59.9286 203.507 18.9945 182.449 13.1117C114.633 -12.4168 41.0939 12.8604 2.57437 66.1813" stroke="#007CFF" stroke-width="5" stroke-miterlimit="10" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-dasharray="10 20 10 20 10 20"/>
</svg>

Appreciate any tips and how to go about doing this

Use an SVG mask animation.

  • The bottom layer is a blue curve

  • Top layer - gray curve

When the mask is animated from left to right, the upper gray curve is cut through and the lower blue curve becomes visible as a result.

 <animate attributename="x" begin="svg1.click" dur="4s" values="-452;0" repeatCount="indefinite" />

An illusion is created of filling the curve gray color with a blue.

Animation will start after clicking

Update

as commented @Dmitriy

For Example- the data comes in in 4 seconds instead of 7 seconds - could i instantly finish the animation once that happens?

For this you can use repeatDur This attribute stops the animation from playing after a certain amount of time from the start of the animation! Simply put, repeatDur limits the duration of an animation.
