@react-spring/web

What is @react-spring/web?

The @react-spring/web package is a spring-physics based animation library tailored for React applications. It allows developers to create smooth and natural animations using spring dynamics. It is part of the react-spring family of packages and is specifically designed for web-based projects.

What are @react-spring/web's main functionalities?

Animating styles

Animate the opacity of an element from 0 to 1.

{"from": {"opacity": 0}, "to": {"opacity": 1}}

Animating properties

Animate the scroll position of an element from 0 to 100.

{"from": {"scroll": 0}, "to": {"scroll": 100}}

Mount and unmount transitions

Handle mount and unmount transitions with opacity and height animations.

{"from": {"opacity": 0, "height": 0}, "enter": {"opacity": 1, "height": 100}, "leave": {"opacity": 0, "height": 0}}

Chain and delay animations

Chain multiple animations together with a delay.

{"to": [{"opacity": 1, "color": "#ffaaee"}, {"height": "100%"}], "delay": 200}

Spring configuration

Customize the spring physics for the animation.

{"to": {"transform": "translate3d(0,100px,0)"}, "config": {"tension": 170, "friction": 26}}

Other packages similar to @react-spring/web

framer-motion

Framer Motion is a popular animation library for React that provides a powerful and easy to use set of tools for creating animations. It offers a declarative API and components like 'motion.div' to animate elements. Compared to @react-spring/web, Framer Motion has a more extensive set of features for orchestrating complex animations and gestures.

react-motion

React Motion is another spring-physics based animation library for React. It provides a simple API for creating realistic animations. Unlike @react-spring/web, React Motion has a more limited API and focuses on a minimalistic approach to animations, which can be both a strength and a limitation depending on the use case.

animejs

Anime.js is a lightweight JavaScript animation library that works with any web framework, not just React. It supports a wide range of animations, including CSS properties, SVG, DOM attributes, and JavaScript Objects. While it is not React-specific, it can be used in React projects. Compared to @react-spring/web, Anime.js requires more manual control but offers a high degree of flexibility.
