Create production-grade React animations and interactive gestures using the declarative Motion library API.
Motion (formerly Framer Motion) is the industry-standard React animation library that enables developers to build sophisticated web interactions with minimal code. This skill provides expert guidance on implementing hardware-accelerated gestures, scroll-linked effects, spring physics, and complex layout transitions using the FLIP technique. It includes specific optimization strategies for bundle size management (ranging from 2.3 KB to 34 KB) and detailed integration patterns for modern frameworks like Next.js 15 and Tailwind CSS v4.
Key Features
01Declarative API for drag, hover, tap, and pan gestures across devices.
02Automatic FLIP layout animations and shared element transitions (layoutId).
03Comprehensive exit animation support via AnimatePresence for unmounting components.
04Performance optimization tools including LazyMotion and the useAnimate mini hook.
