Introduction & Fundamentals Setup & Configuration Architecture & Deep Internals Performance & Security Development Workflow Learning & Career Growth Business & Strategy Examples

Installation Setup

Install via npm: `npm install react-motion`

Import required components: `import { Motion, spring } from 'react-motion';`

Wrap elements with `<Motion>` or `<TransitionMotion>` components

Define style properties to animate and target values

Use spring function to configure stiffness, damping, and precision

Environment Setup

React development environment

Node.js installed

Browser with modern JS support

Optional: TypeScript for typing

Optional: integration with build tools like Webpack/Vite

Config Files

package.json - dependency management

App.js / index.js - main React app

components/ - animated components

styles/ - CSS for layout and non-animated elements

hooks/ - optional animation state helpers

Cli Commands

npm install react-motion

npm start or yarn start to run React app

npm run build to deploy

Use TypeScript with tsc if preferred

Lint and test animations during development

Internationalization

Animations themselves are language-agnostic

Dynamic content can be localized via React props

Sequence timing unaffected by locale

Text content animated via style props remains translatable

Can integrate with i18n frameworks like react-i18next

Accessibility

Animations should not impede usability

Provide alternatives for motion-sensitive users

Avoid excessive motion or flashing

Focus management remains independent of animation

ARIA attributes can be applied normally

Ui Styling

Styles applied via JS style objects

Can integrate with CSS-in-JS or traditional CSS

DOM elements remain fully controllable

Motion only affects animated properties

Responsive adjustments handled via React state or media queries

State Management

React state triggers Motion updates

Animated style values derived from interpolated object

TransitionMotion handles dynamic list changes

StaggeredMotion sequences multiple items

No external state management needed unless app requires it

Data Management

Animation targets stored in React state

Current style values provided via interpolated object

Can integrate with external data for dynamic animations

No persistent storage required for animation state
