Framer Motion Has a Free Animation Library: Production-Ready React Animations With Simple Declarative API

CSS animations handle basic transitions. But orchestrated sequences, gesture-driven interactions, layout animations, and spring physics? You need a library. GSAP is powerful but imperative. react-spring has a learning curve. CSS keyframes can't do gesture-based animations. What if React animations were as simple as adding animate props to your JSX? import { motion } from " framer-motion " ; function FadeIn ({ children }) { return ( < motion . div initial = { { opacity : 0 , y : 20 } } animate = { { opacity : 1 , y : 0 } } transition = { { duration : 0.5 } } > { children } </ motion . div > ); } That's Framer Motion. Declarative animations for React. Spring physics, gestures, layout animations, scroll-triggered effects — all with a clean API. Core Animations // Hover and tap < motion . button whileHover = { { scale : 1.05 } } whileTap = { { scale : 0.95 } } transition = { { type : " spring " , stiffness : 400 } } > Click me </ motion . button > // Drag < motion . div drag dragConstraint
