Learn VUE-MOTION with Real Code Examples

Vue Motion uses spring physics to animate component states with realistic, natural motion.

Animations are reactive - changes in Vue state automatically trigger updated springs.

Supports transitions for entering, leaving, and list reordering.

Works with Vue 2 and Vue 3 using components and composable APIs.

Suitable for gestures, dynamic UI interactions, and fluid micro-interactions.

useSpring for reactive animated values

Motion and MotionGroup components

Transition-based enter/exit animations

Interpolation utilities for dynamic motion

Reactive transforms, opacity, and SVG attributes

useSpring - basic reactive spring animation

Motion - animated wrapper for any element

MotionGroup - staggered list transitions

Value interpolation for chained animations

Reactivity-driven animation updates

App.vue - main application entry

components/ - animated Vue components

motion/ - custom spring configs and helpers

views/ - page transitions

composables/ - reusable motion logic

Define animated springs using composables

Bind springs to style or transform attributes

Change Vue state to trigger new animation targets

Use Motion components for transitions

Organize animations in reusable motion helpers

Beginner: fade and slide transitions

Intermediate: list animations with MotionGroup

Advanced: gesture-driven motion

Expert: route-level transitions

Architect: multi-element coordinated sequences

Vue Motion vs React Spring: Similar physics engine but Vue-native.

Vue Motion vs GSAP: GSAP is timeline-based; Motion is reactive.

Vue Motion vs Framer Motion: Motion is Vue-focused, simpler.

Vue Motion vs Anime.js: Anime is DOM/SVG-focused; Motion is reactive.

Vue Motion vs Vue Transitions: Motion adds physics, interpolation, and complex motion.
