Learn REACT-SPRING with Real Code Examples
Updated Nov 26, 2025
Installation Setup
Install via npm: npm install @react-spring/web
Import hooks/components: import { useSpring, animated } from '@react-spring/web';
Wrap target elements with animated components
Define spring or transition properties in hooks
Update animated values in response to state or events
Environment Setup
React project (CRA, Vite, Next.js)
Modern browser with CSS transform support
Optional TypeScript for type safety
React dev tools for debugging
Gesture libraries for interactive animations
Config Files
package.json - dependencies and scripts
App.js - main React app
components/ - animated UI components
animations/ - spring configurations
hooks/ - custom animation hooks
Cli Commands
npm install @react-spring/web
npm run start - start dev server
npm run build - production build
npm test - test components
npm run lint - ensure code quality
Internationalization
Animation values are language-agnostic
Content can be animated in any locale
Dynamic text or layout can respond to i18n
No built-in language restriction
Works seamlessly with RTL/LTR layouts
Accessibility
Ensure motion preferences are respected (reduced motion)
Keyboard and focus accessibility maintained
Animations should not interfere with usability
Provide static alternatives if motion is critical
Screen readers interact with static DOM elements
Ui Styling
CSS handles static layout
animated components handle dynamic styles
Transforms, opacity, color, and SVG attributes
Responsive animations based on state
Integrates with styled-components or TailwindCSS
State Management
React state or external state libraries for animation triggers
Animated values update based on state changes
useTransition manages conditional rendering state
Interpolation depends on dynamic props
Gestures trigger state updates that drive springs
Data Management
No persistence needed for animation state
Animation state is reactive to component props
useSprings allows managing multiple animated items
Transitions can track lists of items
Reusable configs manage multiple UI interactions
