Framer Motion Animator

Build delightful animations and interactions with Framer Motion's declarative API.

Core Workflow

1. Identify animation needs: Entrance, exit, hover, gestures
2. Choose animation type: Simple, variants, gestures, layout
3. Define motion values: Opacity, scale, position, rotation
4. Add transitions: Duration, easing, spring physics
5. Orchestrate sequences: Stagger, delay, parent-child
6. Optimize performance: GPU-accelerated properties

Installation

npm install framer-motion

Basic Animations

Simple Animation

import { motion } from 'framer-motion';

// Animate on mount
export function FadeIn({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) {
  return (
    <motion.div
      initial={{ opacity: 0, y: 20 }}
      animate={{ opacity: 1, y: 0 }}
      transition={{ duration: 0.5 }}
    >
      {children}
    </motion.div>
  );
}

// Animate on hover
export function ScaleOnHover({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) {
  return (
    <motion.div
      whileHover={{ scale: 1.05 }}
      whileTap={{ scale: 0.95 }}
      transition={{ type: 'spring', stiffness: 400, damping: 17 }}
    >
      {children}
    </motion.div>
  );
}

Exit Animations with AnimatePresence

import { motion, AnimatePresence } from 'framer-motion';

export function Modal({ isOpen, onClose, children }: ModalProps) {
  return (
    <AnimatePresence>
      {isOpen && (
        <>
          {/* Backdrop */}
          <motion.div
            initial={{ opacity: 0 }}
            animate={{ opacity: 1 }}
            exit={{ opacity: 0 }}
            onClick={onClose}
            className="fixed inset-0 bg-black/50 z-40"
          />

          {/* Modal */}
          <motion.div
            initial={{ opacity: 0, scale: 0.95, y: 20 }}
            animate={{ opacity: 1, scale: 1, y: 0 }}
            exit={{ opacity: 0, scale: 0.95, y: 20 }}
            transition={{ type: 'spring', damping: 25, stiffness: 300 }}
            className="fixed inset-0 z-50 flex items-center justify-center"
          >
            <div className="bg-white rounded-xl p-6 max-w-md w-full">
              {children}
            </div>
          </motion.div>
        </>
      )}
    </AnimatePresence>
  );
}
