What is react-simple-animate?

react-simple-animate is a lightweight animation library for React that allows you to easily add animations to your components. It provides a simple API to animate elements with various effects such as transitions, keyframes, and more.

What are react-simple-animate's main functionalities?

Transition Animation

This feature allows you to animate the transition of an element's properties from a start state to an end state. In this example, the opacity of the div element transitions from 0 to 1, creating a fade-in effect.

```jsx
import React from 'react';
import { Animate } from 'react-simple-animate';

const TransitionExample = () => (
  <Animate
    play
    duration={1}
    start={{ opacity: 0 }}
    end={{ opacity: 1 }}
  >
    <div>Fade In</div>
  </Animate>
);

export default TransitionExample;
```

Keyframe Animation

This feature allows you to define keyframe animations, where you can specify multiple steps of an animation. In this example, the div element slides 100px to the right and then back to its original position.

```jsx
import React from 'react';
import { AnimateKeyframes } from 'react-simple-animate';

const KeyframeExample = () => (
  <AnimateKeyframes
    play
    duration={2}
    keyframes={[
      { 0: { transform: 'translateX(0)' } },
      { 50: { transform: 'translateX(100px)' } },
      { 100: { transform: 'translateX(0)' } }
    ]}
  >
    <div>Slide</div>
  </AnimateKeyframes>
);

export default KeyframeExample;
```

CSS Animation

This feature allows you to use CSS animations within the AnimateGroup component. In this example, a div element with a bounce animation is created using CSS keyframes.

```jsx
import React from 'react';
import { AnimateGroup } from 'react-simple-animate';

const CSSAnimationExample = () => (
  <AnimateGroup play>
    <div className="box" style={{ animation: 'bounce 2s infinite' }}>Bounce</div>
  </AnimateGroup>
);

export default CSSAnimationExample;

// CSS
@keyframes bounce {
  0%, 20%, 50%, 80%, 100% { transform: translateY(0); }
  40% { transform: translateY(-30px); }
  60% { transform: translateY(-15px); }
}

.box {
  width: 100px;
  height: 100px;
  background-color: red;
}
```

Quickstart

Components

import React from "react";
import { Animate, AnimateKeyframes, AnimateGroup } from "react-simple-animate";

export default () => (
  <>
    {/* This example demonstrate animate individual element. */}
    <Animate play start={{ opacity: 0 }} end={{ opacity: 1 }}>
      <h1>React simple animate</h1>
    </Animate>
    {/* This example demonstrate animate keyframes with individual element. */}
    <AnimateKeyframes
      play
      iterationCount="infinite"
      keyframes={["opacity: 0", "opacity: 1"]}
    >
      <h1>React simple animate with keyframes</h1>
    </AnimateKeyframes>
    {/* This example demonstrate animate group of animation with sequenceIndex. */}
    <AnimateGroup play>
      <Animate start={{ opacity: 0 }} end={{ opacity: 1 }} sequenceIndex={0}>
        first
      </Animate>
      <Animate start={{ opacity: 0 }} end={{ opacity: 1 }} sequenceIndex={1}>
        second
      </Animate>
      <Animate start={{ opacity: 0 }} end={{ opacity: 1 }} sequenceIndex={2}>
        third
      </Animate>
    </AnimateGroup>
  </>
);

Hooks

import react from 'react';
import { useAnimate, useAnimateKeyframes, useAnimateGroup } from 'react-simple-animate';

export const useAnimateExample = () => {
  const { style, play } = useAnimate({ start: { opacity: 0 }, end: { opacity: 1 } });
  useEffect(() => play(true), []);
  
  return <div style={style}>useAnimate</div>;
};

export const useAnimateKeyframesExample = () => {
  const { style, play } = useAnimateKeyframes({ 
    keyframes: ['opacity: 0', 'opacity: 1'], 
    iterationCount: 4 
  });
  useEffect(() => play(true), []);
  
  return <div style={style}>useAnimate</div>;
};

export const useAnimateGroup = () => {
  const { styles = [], play } = useAnimateGroup({
    sequences: [
      { start: { opacity: 1 }, end: { opacity: 0 } },
      { start: { background: "red" }, end: { background: "blue" } }
    ]
  });
  useEffect(() => play(true), []);

  return {styles.map(style => <div style={style}>useAnimateGroup</div>)};
};
