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] }))
