Framer Motion

Basic Animation

import { motion } from 'framer-motion'

function AnimatedBox() {
  return (
    <motion.div
      initial={{ opacity: 0, y: 20 }}
      animate={{ opacity: 1, y: 0 }}
      transition={{ duration: 0.5 }}
    >
      Hello World
    </motion.div>
  )
}

Animate Properties

<motion.div
  animate={{
    x: 100,
    y: 50,
    scale: 1.2,
    rotate: 180,
    opacity: 0.5,

</motion.button>

Drag

<motion.div
  drag                    // Enable both axes

  return (
    <motion.div style={{ y, opacity }}>
      Parallax Content
    </motion.div>
  )
}

// Scroll-triggered animation
function ScrollTriggered() {
  return (
    <motion.div
      initial={{ opacity: 0, y: 50 }}
      whileInView={{ opacity: 1, y: 0 }}
      viewport={{ once: true, margin: '-100px' }}
      transition={{ duration: 0.6 }}
    >
      Appears on scroll
    </motion.div>
  )
}

Layout Animations

function LayoutExample() {
  const [isExpanded, setIsExpanded] = useState(false)

  return (
    <motion.div
      layout
      onClick={() => setIsExpanded(!isExpanded)}
      style={{
        width: isExpanded ? 300 : 100,
        height: isExpanded ? 200 : 100,
      }}
      transition={{ layout: { duration: 0.3 } }}

  const background = useTransform(
    x,
    [-200, 0, 200],
    ['#ff0000', '#00ff00', '#0000ff']
  )

  return (
    <motion.div
      drag="x"
      style={{ x, opacity, background }}
    />

Stagger Children

const container = {
  hidden: { opacity: 0 },
  show: {
    opacity: 1,
    transition: {
      staggerChildren: 0.1,
      delayChildren: 0.3,
    },
  },
}

const item = {
  hidden: { opacity: 0, y: 20 },
  show: { opacity: 1, y: 0 },

    />
  )
}

Number Counter

import { motion, useSpring, useTransform } from 'framer-motion'

function Counter({ value }) {
  const spring = useSpring(0, { stiffness: 100, damping: 30 })
  const display = useTransform(spring, (v) => Math.round(v))

  useEffect(() => {
    spring.set(value)
  }, [value, spring])

  return <motion.span>{display}</motion.span>
