- Motion Graphics: Develop custom animations that meet complex design needs.
Example Usage
- Import necessary components from
framer-motion
. - Use the
motion
prefix on HTML elements to enable animation. - Add animation properties like
animate
,transition
, andinitial
. - Customize animations through properties like
x
,y
,opacity
, andscale
.
Framer Motion provides a declarative approach to animation, making it straightforward to define how elements should move and interact. Its robust nature makes it suitable for a wide range of applications, from simple effects to complex interactions.
