Motion.dev Documentation

Motion is a modern animation library for React, JavaScript, and Vue. It's the evolution of Framer Motion, offering:

• Tiny size: Just 2.3kb for the mini HTML/SVG version
• High performance: Hardware-accelerated animations
• Flexible: Animate HTML, SVG, WebGL, and JavaScript objects
• Easy to use: Intuitive API with smart defaults
• Spring physics: Natural, kinetic animations
• Scroll animations: Link values to scroll position
• Gestures: Drag, hover, tap, and more

Quick Reference

Installation

npm install motion

Basic Animation

import { animate } from "motion"

// Animate elements
animate(".box", { rotate: 360, scale: 1.2 })

// Spring animation
animate(element, { x: 100 }, { type: "spring", stiffness: 300 })

// Stagger multiple elements
animate("li", { opacity: 1 }, { delay: stagger(0.1) })

React

import { motion } from "motion/react"

<motion.div
  animate={{ rotate: 360 }}
  transition={{ duration: 2 }}
/>

Scroll Animations

import { scroll } from "motion"

scroll(animate(".box", { scale: [1, 2, 1] }))
