## What This Skill Does
Production-ready setup for Motion (formerly Framer Motion) - the industry-standard React animation library with 30,200+ GitHub stars. Motion provides declarative animations, gesture controls, scroll effects, spring physics, layout animations, and SVG manipulation.
### Core Capabilities
✅ **Gesture Controls** - drag, hover, tap, pan, focus with cross-device support
✅ **Scroll Animations** - viewport-triggered, scroll-linked, parallax with ScrollTimeline API
✅ **Layout Animations** - FLIP technique, shared element transitions with layoutId
✅ **Spring Physics** - Natural, customizable physics-based motion
✅ **SVG Animations** - Path morphing, line drawing, attribute animation
✅ **Exit Animations** - AnimatePresence for smooth unmounting transitions
✅ **Bundle Optimization** - 2.3 KB (mini) to 34 KB (full), optimizable to 4.6 KB with LazyMotion
✅ **29+ Documented Issues Prevented** - AnimatePresence, layout, performance, Next.js, Cloudflare
✅ **5 Production Templates** - Vite, Next.js, scroll, UI components, layout transitions
✅ **4 Reference Guides** - vs AutoAnimate, performance, Next.js, common patterns
✅ **2 Automation Scripts** - One-command setup, bundle optimizer
---
## When to Use This Skill
### ✅ Use Motion When:
**Complex Interactions**:
- Drag-and-drop interfaces (sortable lists, kanban boards)
- Hover states with scale/rotation/color changes
- Tap feedback with bounce/squeeze effects
**Scroll-Based Animations**:
- Hero sections with parallax layers
- Scroll-triggered reveals (fade in as elements enter viewport)
- Progress bars linked to scroll position
**Layout Transitions**:
- Shared element transitions between routes (card → detail page)
- Expand/collapse with automatic height animation
- Grid/list view switching
**Advanced Features**:
- SVG line drawing, path morphing
- Spring physics for natural bounce
- Orchestrated sequences (staggered reveals)
### ❌ Don't Use Motion When:
**Simple List Animations** → Use `auto-animate` skill instead:
- Todo list add/remove (Motion: 34 KB vs AutoAnimate: 3.28 KB)
- Search results filtering
- Basic accordions without gestures
**Cloudflare Workers Deployment** → ✅ **Fixed (Dec 2024)**:
- Previous build issues resolved (GitHub issue #2918 closed)
- Motion now works directly with Wrangler

## Use Case Breakdown
### Simple List Animations (90% of use cases)
**Scenario**: Todo list, shopping cart, search results, notification list
**AutoAnimate**:
```tsx
const [parent] = useAutoAnimate()
return <ul ref={parent}>{items.map(...)}</ul>
```
**Motion**:
```tsx
<AnimatePresence>
{items.map(item => (
<motion.li
key={item.id}
initial={{ opacity: 0 }}
animate={{ opacity: 1 }}
exit={{ opacity: 0 }}
layout
>
{item.text}
</motion.li>
))}
</AnimatePresence>
```
**Recommendation**: **AutoAnimate** (simpler, smaller)
---
### Accordion Components
**Scenario**: FAQ, collapsible sections, navigation menus
**AutoAnimate**:
```tsx
const [parent] = useAutoAnimate()
return (
<div ref={parent}>
{isOpen && <div>Content</div>}
</div>
)
```
**Motion**:
```tsx
<motion.div
animate={{ height: isOpen ? "auto" : 0 }}
style={{ overflow: "hidden" }}
>
<div>Content</div>
</motion.div>
```
**Recommendation**: **AutoAnimate** for simple accordions, **Motion** if you need:
- Custom spring physics
- Staggered child animations
- Scroll-triggered expand/collapse
---
### Modal Dialogs
**Scenario**: Popup dialogs, overlays, lightboxes
**AutoAnimate**:
- Not ideal (doesn't handle backdrop animations well)
**Motion**:
```tsx
<AnimatePresence>
{isOpen && (
<>
<motion.div
initial={{ opacity: 0 }}
animate={{ opacity: 1 }}
exit={{ opacity: 0 }}
className="backdrop"
/>
<motion.dialog
initial={{ opacity: 0, scale: 0.9 }}
animate={{ opacity: 1, scale: 1 }}
exit={{ opacity: 0, scale: 0.9 }}
>
Content
</motion.dialog>
</>
)}
</AnimatePresence>
```
**Recommendation**: **Motion** (more control over backdrop + dialog)
---
### Hero Sections & Landing Pages
**Scenario**: Marketing sites with parallax, scroll effects, complex animations
**AutoAnimate**:
- Not suitable
**Motion**:
```tsx
const { scrollYProgress } = useScroll()
const y = useTransform(scrollYProgress, [0, 1], [0, -300])
return <motion.div style={{ y }}>Hero content</motion.div>
```
**Recommendation**: **Motion** (only option)
---
### Carousels & Sliders
**Scenario**: Image galleries, product showcases
**AutoAnimate**:
- Not suitable
**Motion**:
```tsx
<motion.div
drag="x"
dragConstraints={{ left: -width, right: 0 }}
>
{images.map(img => <img src={img.url} />)}
</motion.div>
```
**Recommendation**: **Motion** (gesture controls required)
---
### Drag-and-Drop Interfaces
**Scenario**: Kanban boards, sortable lists, reorderable items
**AutoAnimate**:
- Not supported (no drag gestures)
**Motion**:
```tsx
<motion.div
drag
dragConstraints={constraints}
onDragEnd={handleDragEnd}
>
Draggable item
</motion.div>
```
**Recommendation**: **Motion** (only option)
---
### Page/Route Transitions
**Scenario**: Animating between pages or routes
**AutoAnimate**:
- Not ideal (designed for element-level, not page-level)
**Motion**:
```tsx
<AnimatePresence mode="wait">
<motion.div
key={pathname}
initial={{ opacity: 0, x: 20 }}
animate={{ opacity: 1, x: 0 }}
exit={{ opacity: 0, x: -20 }}
>
{page content}
</motion.div>
</AnimatePresence>
```
**Recommendation**: **Motion** (better control)
**Note**: Next.js App Router has issues with route transitions. Consider alternatives.
---
### Card Expand to Detail View
**Scenario**: Grid of cards → click to expand → detail page
**AutoAnimate**:
- Not supported (no shared element transitions)
**Motion**:
```tsx
// Grid view
<motion.div layoutId={card.id} onClick={expand}>
Card preview
</motion.div>
// Detail view
<motion.div layoutId={card.id}>
Full card details
</motion.div>
```
**Recommendation**: **Motion** (shared element transition with layoutId)
---

- Vanilla JS: `@formkit/auto-animate`
---
## Migration Guide
### From AutoAnimate to Motion
**When to migrate**: You outgrow AutoAnimate and need gestures, scroll, or layout animations.
**Example - Animated List**:
Before (AutoAnimate):
```tsx
const [parent] = useAutoAnimate()
return <ul ref={parent}>{items.map(...)}</ul>
```
After (Motion):
```tsx
<AnimatePresence>
{items.map(item => (
<motion.li
key={item.id}
initial={{ opacity: 0, x: -20 }}
animate={{ opacity: 1, x: 0 }}
exit={{ opacity: 0, x: 20 }}
layout
>
{item.text}
</motion.li>
))}
</AnimatePresence>
```
**Migration steps**:
1. Install Motion: `pnpm add motion`
2. Replace `<div ref={parent}>` with `<motion.div>`
3. Add animation props: `initial`, `animate`, `exit`
4. Wrap in `<AnimatePresence>` for exit animations
5. Add `layout` prop for reordering
---
### From Motion to AutoAnimate
**When to migrate**: Simplifying codebase, reducing bundle size for simple animations.
**Example - Animated List**:
Before (Motion):
```tsx
<AnimatePresence>
{items.map(item => (
<motion.li
key={item.id}
initial={{ opacity: 0 }}
animate={{ opacity: 1 }}
exit={{ opacity: 0 }}
layout
>
{item.text}
</motion.li>
))}
</AnimatePresence>
```
After (AutoAnimate):
```tsx
const [parent] = useAutoAnimate()
return <ul ref={parent}>{items.map(...)}</ul>
```
**Migration steps**:
1. Install AutoAnimate: `pnpm add @formkit/auto-animate`
2. Remove Motion props (initial, animate, exit, layout)
3. Remove AnimatePresence wrapper
4. Add `useAutoAnimate` hook and attach ref to parent
**Bundle size savings**: 34 KB → 3.28 KB (~90% reduction)

## Can You Use Both?
**Yes!** They complement each other well.
**Pattern**:
- Use AutoAnimate for simple list animations
- Use Motion for complex gestures and scroll effects
**Example**:
```tsx
// Simple list with AutoAnimate
const [listRef] = useAutoAnimate()
return (
<>
{/* Motion for hero parallax */}
<motion.div style={{ y: parallaxY }}>
Hero section
</motion.div>
{/* AutoAnimate for product list */}
<ul ref={listRef}>
{products.map(product => (
<li key={product.id}>{product.name}</li>
))}
</ul>
{/* Motion for carousel */}
<motion.div drag="x">
{images.map(img => <img src={img.url} />)}
</motion.div>
</>
)
```
**Bundle size**: 3.28 KB (AutoAnimate) + 2.3-34 KB (Motion) = 5.58-37.28 KB total
**Recommendation**: Use AutoAnimate for 90% of cases, add Motion only for features AutoAnimate can't handle.

# Motion + Next.js Integration Guide
This guide covers how to use Motion (Framer Motion) with Next.js, including App Router patterns, Pages Router setup, known issues, and performance optimization.
---
## TL;DR - Quick Start
**Pages Router** (Next.js 12):
```tsx
// Works out of the box, no special setup needed
import { motion } from "motion/react"
export default function Page() {
return <motion.div animate={{ opacity: 1 }}>Content</motion.div>
}
```
**App Router** (Next.js 13+):
```tsx
// MUST add "use client" directive
"use client"
import { motion } from "motion/react-client" // Optimized import
export default function Page() {
return <motion.div animate={{ opacity: 1 }}>Content</motion.div>
}
```
---
## App Router (Next.js 13, 14, 15)
### Key Requirement: Client Components Only
Motion uses browser APIs (DOM, window, events) that **don't exist on the server**. Therefore, Motion only works in **Client Components**, not Server Components.
---
### Pattern 1: Direct Client Component (Simplest)
Add `"use client"` directive at the top of any file using Motion:
**File**: `src/app/page.tsx`
```tsx
"use client"
import { motion } from "motion/react-client" // Optimized for Next.js
export default function Page() {
return (
<motion.div
initial={{ opacity: 0, y: 20 }}
animate={{ opacity: 1, y: 0 }}
>
Welcome to Next.js + Motion
</motion.div>
)
}
```
**Pros**:
- ✅ Simple, straightforward
- ✅ Works immediately
**Cons**:
- ❌ Entire page becomes client-rendered
- ❌ Loses Server Component benefits (streaming, server-side data fetching)
---
### Pattern 2: Wrapper Component (Recommended)
Create a reusable Client Component wrapper to avoid repeating `"use client"`:
**File**: `src/components/motion-client.tsx`
```tsx
"use client"
// Optimized import for Next.js (reduces client JS)
import * as motion from "motion/react-client"
export { motion }
// Also export commonly used components/hooks
export {
AnimatePresence,
MotionConfig,
LazyMotion,
LayoutGroup,
useMotionValue,
useTransform,
useScroll,
useSpring,
useAnimate,
useInView,
} from "motion/react-client"
```
**File**: `src/app/page.tsx` (Server Component)
```tsx
import { motion } from "@/components/motion-client"
export default function Page() {
return (
<motion.div
initial={{ opacity: 0 }}
animate={{ opacity: 1 }}
>
This page is a Server Component!
Motion wrapper is a Client Component.
</motion.div>
)
}
```
**Pros**:
- ✅ Server Components can use Motion via wrapper
- ✅ Only Motion components are client-rendered
- ✅ Cleaner imports (no need to repeat `"use client"`)
**Cons**:
- ❌ Slight indirection (one extra file)
---
### Pattern 3: Server Data + Client Animation
Fetch data in Server Component, animate in Client Component:
**File**: `src/components/AnimatedCard.tsx` (Client Component)
```tsx
"use client"
import { motion } from "motion/react-client"
interface Product {
id: number
name: string
price: number
}
export function AnimatedCard({ product, index }: { product: Product; index: number }) {
return (
<motion.div
initial={{ opacity: 0, y: 20 }}
animate={{ opacity: 1, y: 0 }}
transition={{ delay: index * 0.1 }} // Stagger
whileHover={{ scale: 1.05 }}
className="p-4 bg-white border rounded-lg"
>
<h3 className="font-bold">{product.name}</h3>
<p className="text-gray-600">${product.price}</p>
</motion.div>
)
}
```
**File**: `src/app/products/page.tsx` (Server Component)
```tsx
import { AnimatedCard } from "@/components/AnimatedCard"
async function getProducts() {
const res = await fetch('https://api.example.com/products', {
cache: 'force-cache' // Server-side caching
})
return res.json()
}
export default async function ProductsPage() {
const products = await getProducts() // Server-side fetch
return (
<div className="grid grid-cols-3 gap-4">
{products.map((product, index) => (
<AnimatedCard key={product.id} product={product} index={index} />
))}
</div>
)
}
```
**Pros**:
- ✅ Data fetched on server (SEO, performance, security)
- ✅ Animations run on client (interactivity)
- ✅ Best of both worlds
**Cons**:
- ❌ Requires splitting into two components
---
### Pattern 4: MotionConfig Provider
Wrap app in MotionConfig for global settings (reduced motion, transitions):
**File**: `src/components/MotionProvider.tsx` (Client Component)
```tsx
"use client"
import { MotionConfig } from "motion/react-client"
import { ReactNode } from "react"
export function MotionProvider({ children }: { children: ReactNode }) {
return (
<MotionConfig reducedMotion="user">
{children}
</MotionConfig>
)
}
```
**File**: `src/app/layout.tsx` (Root Layout)
```tsx
import { MotionProvider } from "@/components/MotionProvider"
export default function RootLayout({ children }: { children: ReactNode }) {
return (
<html lang="en">
<body>
<MotionProvider>
{children}
</MotionProvider>
</body>
</html>
)
}
```
**Respects**: macOS/Windows/iOS/Android "Reduce Motion" accessibility setting
---
## Pages Router (Next.js 12)
### No Special Setup Required
Motion works out of the box with Pages Router:
**File**: `pages/index.tsx`
```tsx
import { motion } from "motion/react"
export default function HomePage() {
return (
<motion.div
initial={{ opacity: 0 }}
animate={{ opacity: 1 }}
>
Welcome
</motion.div>
)
}
```
**No `"use client"` needed** - Pages Router renders on client by default.
---
### Server-Side Rendering (SSR)
Motion is **client-only**, so you may see hydration warnings in development. This is expected and can be ignored.
**If you see hydration errors**:
**Option 1: Dynamic Import**
```tsx
import dynamic from 'next/dynamic'
const AnimatedComponent = dynamic(
() => import('@/components/AnimatedComponent'),
{ ssr: false }
)
export default function Page() {
return <AnimatedComponent />
}
```
**Option 2: Conditional Rendering**
```tsx
import { useState, useEffect } from 'react'
import { motion } from 'motion/react'
export default function Page() {
const [isClient, setIsClient] = useState(false)
useEffect(() => {
setIsClient(true)
}, [])
if (!isClient) {
return <div>Loading...</div>
}
return <motion.div animate={{ opacity: 1 }}>Content</motion.div>
}
```
---
## Known Issues
### Issue 1: Next.js 15 + React 19 Compatibility
**Status**: Most issues resolved in latest Motion version (12.23.24)
**Symptoms**:
- Build errors: "unsupported to use 'export *' in a client boundary"
- Runtime errors with Server Components
**Solution**: Update to latest versions:
```bash
pnpm add motion@latest react@latest next@latest
```
**If issues persist**: Check GitHub for updates: https://github.com/motiondivision/motion/issues
---
### Issue 2: AnimatePresence with Soft Navigation
**Problem**: Exit animations don't work when navigating between pages in App Router.
**Why**: Next.js soft navigation doesn't trigger React unmount, so AnimatePresence doesn't detect exit.
**Solutions**:
**Option 1: Component-level AnimatePresence** (Recommended)
```tsx
// Use AnimatePresence for modals, dropdowns, tooltips
<AnimatePresence>
{isOpen && (
<motion.div
initial={{ opacity: 0 }}
animate={{ opacity: 1 }}
exit={{ opacity: 0 }}
>
Modal content
</motion.div>
)}
</AnimatePresence>
```
**Option 2: template.tsx** (Experimental)
```tsx
// src/app/template.tsx
"use client"
import { motion } from "motion/react-client"
export default function Template({ children }: { children: ReactNode }) {
return (
<motion.div
initial={{ opacity: 0, x: 20 }}
animate={{ opacity: 1, x: 0 }}
transition={{ duration: 0.3 }}
>
{children}
</motion.div>
)
}
```
**Note**: `template.tsx` creates new instances on navigation, enabling enter animations but not exit animations.
**Option 3: Middleware approach**
Use Next.js middleware to detect route changes and trigger animations manually. Complex, not recommended.
**Recommendation**: Accept that page-level exit animations don't work reliably in App Router. Use AnimatePresence for component-level animations (modals, dropdowns, etc.) where it works perfectly.
---
### Issue 3: Reorder Component Incompatibility
**Problem**: Motion's `<Reorder>` component doesn't work with Next.js routing.
**Symptoms**:
- Random stuck states
- Items don't reorder
- Console errors
**GitHub Issues**: #2183, #2101
**Solution**: Use alternative drag-to-reorder implementations:
- `@dnd-kit/core` (recommended)
- `react-beautiful-dnd`
- Manual implementation with `drag` prop
**Example with `drag` prop**:
```tsx
<motion.div
drag="y"
dragConstraints={{ top: 0, bottom: 0 }}
whileDrag={{ scale: 1.05 }}
>
Draggable item
</motion.div>
```
---
### Issue 4: Large Bundle Size
**Problem**: Full Motion component adds ~34 KB to client bundle.
**Solution**: Use optimized import and LazyMotion:
**File**: `src/components/motion-client.tsx`
```tsx
"use client"
import { LazyMotion, domAnimation } from "motion/react-client"
import { ReactNode } from "react"
export function MotionProvider({ children }: { children: ReactNode }) {
return (
<LazyMotion features={domAnimation}>
{children}
</LazyMotion>
)
}
// Export 'm' component instead of 'motion'
export { m as motion } from "motion/react-client"
```
**Reduces bundle from 34 KB → 4.6 KB**
See `performance-optimization.md` for full guide.
---
### Issue 5: Reduced Motion Not Affecting AnimatePresence
**Problem**: MotionConfig reducedMotion prop doesn't disable AnimatePresence animations.
**GitHub Issue**: #1567
**Workaround**: Manual check:
```tsx
"use client"
import { useState, useEffect } from "react"
import { motion, AnimatePresence } from "motion/react-client"
export function Modal({ isOpen, onClose }: { isOpen: boolean; onClose: () => void }) {
const [prefersReducedMotion, setPrefersReducedMotion] = useState(false)
useEffect(() => {
const mediaQuery = window.matchMedia("(prefers-reduced-motion: reduce)")
setPrefersReducedMotion(mediaQuery.matches)
const handleChange = () => setPrefersReducedMotion(mediaQuery.matches)
mediaQuery.addEventListener("change", handleChange)
return () => mediaQuery.removeEventListener("change", handleChange)
}, [])
return (
<AnimatePresence>
{isOpen && (
<motion.div
initial={{ opacity: prefersReducedMotion ? 1 : 0 }}
animate={{ opacity: 1 }}
exit={{ opacity: prefersReducedMotion ? 1 : 0 }}
transition={{ duration: prefersReducedMotion ? 0 : 0.3 }}
>
Modal content
</motion.div>
)}
</AnimatePresence>
)
}
```
---
## Performance Optimization for Next.js
### 1. Use `motion/react-client` Import
**Regular import** (full bundle):
```tsx
import { motion } from "motion/react"
```
**Optimized import** (smaller bundle):
```tsx
import { motion } from "motion/react-client"
```
**Difference**: `react-client` variant excludes server-side code, reducing client JavaScript.
---
### 2. Code Splitting with Dynamic Imports
For animations not needed on initial load:
```tsx
import dynamic from 'next/dynamic'
const AnimatedHero = dynamic(
() => import('@/components/AnimatedHero'),
{ ssr: false }
)
export default function HomePage() {
return <AnimatedHero />
}
```
**Benefits**:
- ✅ Reduces initial JavaScript bundle
- ✅ Loads animation code only when needed
---
### 3. LazyMotion for Smaller Bundle
**Setup**:
```tsx
"use client"
import { LazyMotion, domAnimation, m } from "motion/react-client"
export default function Layout({ children }: { children: ReactNode }) {
return (
<LazyMotion features={domAnimation}>
{children}
</LazyMotion>
)
}
```
**Then use `m` instead of `motion`**:
```tsx
"use client"
import { m } from "motion/react-client"
export function Component() {
return <m.div animate={{ opacity: 1 }}>Content</m.div>
}
```
**Bundle size**: 34 KB → 4.6 KB
---
### 4. Optimize Images with Next/Image
Combine Motion with Next.js Image optimization:
```tsx
"use client"
import { motion } from "motion/react-client"
import Image from "next/image"
export function AnimatedImage() {
return (
<motion.div whileHover={{ scale: 1.05 }}>
<Image
src="/hero.jpg"
width={1200}
height={600}
alt="Hero"
priority
/>
</motion.div>
)
}
```
**Benefits**:
- ✅ Automatic image optimization
- ✅ Smooth animations
---
## Testing & Debugging
### 1. Verify Client Component Boundary
**Problem**: Accidentally using Motion in Server Component.
**Check**:
1. Look for `"use client"` directive at top of file
2. If using wrapper, verify wrapper has `"use client"`
**Error message**:
```
Error: motion is not defined
```
**Fix**: Add `"use client"` to the file.
---
### 2. Check Bundle Size
**Analyze**:
```bash
pnpm build
# Then check .next/analyze or use @next/bundle-analyzer
```
**Target**: Motion should be <5 KB (with LazyMotion)
**If larger**: Switch to LazyMotion or useAnimate mini.
---
### 3. Test Reduced Motion
**Enable in OS**:
- **macOS**: System Settings → Accessibility → Display → Reduce motion
- **Windows**: Settings → Ease of Access → Display → Show animations
- **iOS**: Settings → Accessibility → Motion
- **Android 9+**: Settings → Accessibility → Remove animations
**Verify**: Animations should be instant (no transitions).
---
### 4. Lighthouse Performance
**Run**:
```bash
pnpm build
pnpm start
# Open Chrome DevTools → Lighthouse → Run analysis
```
**Target Scores**:
- Performance: >90
- Accessibility: 100
**If low performance**: Check for:
- Large bundle size (optimize with LazyMotion)
- Too many animated elements (use virtualization)
- Non-accelerated animations (use transform, not width/height)
---
## Deployment Checklist
Before deploying Next.js + Motion:
- [ ] All Motion files have `"use client"` directive (App Router)
- [ ] Using `motion/react-client` import (not `motion/react`)
- [ ] LazyMotion enabled (if bundle size matters)
- [ ] MotionConfig with reducedMotion set up
- [ ] No Motion usage in Server Components
- [ ] AnimatePresence only for component-level animations (not routes)
- [ ] Images optimized with next/image
- [ ] Tested with prefers-reduced-motion enabled
- [ ] Bundle analyzed (<5 KB for Motion recommended)
- [ ] Lighthouse performance score >90
---

# Motion Performance Optimization
This guide covers techniques to optimize Motion animations for production, including bundle size reduction, runtime performance improvements, and best practices.
---
## Bundle Size Optimization
### Problem: Full Motion Component is 34 KB
The full `motion` component includes all animation features, resulting in ~34 KB minified+gzipped. For many use cases, this is overkill.
---
### Solution 1: LazyMotion (Recommended)
**Reduces bundle from 34 KB → 4.6 KB**
LazyMotion loads animation features on-demand instead of bundling everything upfront.
**Setup**:
```tsx
import { LazyMotion, domAnimation, m } from "motion/react"
function App() {
return (
<LazyMotion features={domAnimation}>
{/* Use 'm' instead of 'motion' */}
<m.div
initial={{ opacity: 0 }}
animate={{ opacity: 1 }}
whileHover={{ scale: 1.1 }}
>
Content
</m.div>
</LazyMotion>
)
}
```
**Key changes**:
1. Wrap app in `<LazyMotion features={domAnimation}>`
2. Use `m` component instead of `motion`
3. Import `m` from `motion/react` (not `motion`)
**Features included with `domAnimation`**:
- ✅ Transform animations (x, y, scale, rotate, etc.)
- ✅ Opacity animations
- ✅ Gestures (hover, tap, drag, pan)
- ✅ Layout animations
- ✅ useScroll, useTransform hooks
- ❌ SVG path animations (use `domMax` instead)
- ❌ Custom value types
**When to use `domMax` instead of `domAnimation`**:
```tsx
import { LazyMotion, domMax, m } from "motion/react"
<LazyMotion features={domMax}>
{/* Now includes SVG path animations */}
<m.path d="..." animate={{ pathLength: 1 }} />
</LazyMotion>
```
**Bundle size**: domAnimation (4.6 KB), domMax (~6 KB)
---
### Solution 2: useAnimate Mini (Smallest)
**Reduces bundle from 34 KB → 2.3 KB**
The `useAnimate` mini variant is the smallest React animation library available. Use for imperative animations.
**Setup**:
```tsx
import { useAnimate } from "motion/react"
import { useEffect } from "react"
function Component() {
const [scope, animate] = useAnimate()
useEffect(() => {
animate(scope.current, { opacity: 1, x: 0 })
}, [])
return (
<div ref={scope} style={{ opacity: 0, transform: "translateX(-20px)" }}>
Content
</div>
)
}
```
**Pros**:
- ✅ Smallest bundle size (2.3 KB)
- ✅ Imperative API (full control)
- ✅ No component overhead
**Cons**:
- ❌ More verbose than declarative API
- ❌ Less ergonomic for complex animations
**When to use**:
- Bundle size is absolutely critical
- You prefer imperative animations
- Simple animations (fade in, slide in, etc.)
---
### Solution 3: useAnimate Hybrid
**Reduces bundle from 34 KB → 17 KB**
The hybrid version includes more features than mini but less than full.
**Setup**:
```tsx
import { useAnimate, stagger } from "motion/react"
function Component() {
const [scope, animate] = useAnimate()
const handleAnimate = () => {
animate("li", { opacity: 1, x: 0 }, { delay: stagger(0.1) })
}
return (
<ul ref={scope}>
{items.map(item => <li key={item.id}>{item.text}</li>)}
</ul>
)
}
```
**Bundle size**: 17 KB
---
### Solution 4: Remove Unused Features
If you only use Motion for specific features, import only what you need:
**Example - Only scroll animations**:
```tsx
import { useScroll, useTransform } from "motion/react"
import { useRef } from "react"
function Component() {
const ref = useRef(null)
const { scrollYProgress } = useScroll({ container: ref })
const y = useTransform(scrollYProgress, [0, 1], [0, -100])
return (
<div ref={ref} style={{ transform: `translateY(${y}px)` }}>
Content
</div>
)
}
```
**No `motion` component imported** → smaller bundle
---
### Bundle Size Comparison
| Approach | Bundle Size | Features | Best For |
|----------|-------------|----------|----------|
| **Full motion** | 34 KB | All features | Kitchen sink approach |
| **LazyMotion + domAnimation** | 4.6 KB | Most features | **Recommended default** |
| **LazyMotion + domMax** | ~6 KB | All features except custom | SVG animations |
| **useAnimate hybrid** | 17 KB | Imperative + stagger | Imperative animations |
| **useAnimate mini** | 2.3 KB | Basic imperative | **Smallest bundle** |
| **Hooks only** | <5 KB | Specific features | Scroll/transform only |
**Recommendation**: Start with LazyMotion + domAnimation (4.6 KB) for 90% of use cases.
---
## Runtime Performance Optimization
### 1. Add `willChange` for Transforms
**Problem**: Browser doesn't know which properties will animate, causing reflows.
**Solution**: Tell browser to optimize for animation.
```tsx
<motion.div
style={{ willChange: "transform" }}
animate={{ x: 100, rotate: 45 }}
/>
```
**Also add for**:
- `opacity`
- `backgroundColor`
- `clipPath`
- `filter`
**How it works**:
- Browser promotes element to its own layer
- Uses GPU compositing
- Avoids reflow/repaint during animation
**Warning**: Don't overuse! Only add to elements that actually animate.
---
### 2. Use Hardware-Accelerated Properties
**Good properties** (GPU-accelerated):
- ✅ `transform` (x, y, scale, rotate, skew)
- ✅ `opacity`
- ✅ `filter` (blur, brightness, etc.)
**Bad properties** (causes reflow):
- ❌ `width`, `height`
- ❌ `top`, `left`, `right`, `bottom`
- ❌ `padding`, `margin`
**Example - Wrong**:
```tsx
<motion.div
animate={{ width: 300, height: 200 }} // ❌ Causes layout reflow
/>
```
**Example - Correct**:
```tsx
<motion.div
animate={{ scale: 1.5 }} // ✅ GPU-accelerated transform
/>
```
**Rule**: Prefer `transform` over layout properties.
---
### 3. Use `layout` Prop for FLIP Animations
**Problem**: Animating width/height directly causes reflow.
**Solution**: Use `layout` prop for FLIP technique (First, Last, Invert, Play).
```tsx
<motion.div layout>
{isExpanded ? <LargeContent /> : <SmallContent />}
</motion.div>
```
**How it works**:
1. Measures element before change (First)
2. Applies change immediately (Last)
3. Inverts with transform to match first position
4. Animates to last position (Play)
**Result**: Smooth animation without reflow, all via GPU-accelerated transforms.
---
### 4. Optimize Scroll Animations
Motion uses native ScrollTimeline API when available for hardware-accelerated scroll animations.
**Setup**:
```tsx
import { useScroll, useTransform } from "motion/react"
const { scrollYProgress } = useScroll()
const y = useTransform(scrollYProgress, [0, 1], [0, -300])
<motion.div style={{ y }}>
Content
</motion.div>
```
**Performance**:
- ✅ Runs on compositor thread (not main thread)
- ✅ 120fps on capable devices
- ✅ No JavaScript execution on scroll
**Fallback**: On browsers without ScrollTimeline API, Motion falls back to JavaScript `requestAnimationFrame`.
---
### 5. Debounce Complex Calculations
For expensive calculations in scroll/transform hooks, debounce updates:
**Problem**:
```tsx
const { scrollY } = useScroll()
// Recalculates on every pixel scrolled
const complexValue = useTransform(scrollY, (value) => {
return expensiveCalculation(value) // ❌ Too frequent
})
```
**Solution**:
```tsx
const { scrollY } = useScroll()
// Only update when scroll changes by 10px
const complexValue = useTransform(scrollY, (value) => {
return Math.floor(value / 10) * 10
})
```
---
### 6. Use `transition` Type Wisely
Different transition types have different performance characteristics:
**Spring** (default):
```tsx
transition={{ type: "spring", stiffness: 100, damping: 10 }}
```
- ✅ Natural, physics-based motion
- ❌ More JavaScript calculation
**Tween**:
```tsx
transition={{ type: "tween", duration: 0.3, ease: "easeOut" }}
```
- ✅ Predictable timing
- ✅ Less JavaScript calculation
- ❌ Less natural than spring
**Recommendation**: Use tween for simple animations, spring for interactive gestures.
---
## Large Lists Optimization
### Problem: 50-100+ Animated Items Cause Severe Slowdown
Animating many items simultaneously overwhelms the browser.
---
### Solution 1: Virtualization (Recommended)
Only render visible items.
**Install**:
```bash
pnpm add react-window
# or
pnpm add react-virtuoso
# or
pnpm add @tanstack/react-virtual
```
**Example with react-window**:
```tsx
import { FixedSizeList } from 'react-window'
import { motion } from 'motion/react'
function VirtualizedList({ items }) {
return (
<FixedSizeList
height={600}
itemCount={items.length}
itemSize={50}
width="100%"
>
{({ index, style }) => (
<motion.div
style={style}
layout
initial={{ opacity: 0 }}
animate={{ opacity: 1 }}
>
{items[index].text}
</motion.div>
)}
</FixedSizeList>
)
}
```
**Benefits**:
- ✅ Only renders ~20 items at a time (instead of 1000+)
- ✅ Dramatically reduces DOM nodes
- ✅ Maintains smooth 60fps
**Drawback**: Slightly more complex setup
---
### Solution 2: Stagger with `delayChildren`
For moderately-sized lists (10-30 items), use stagger to spread out animations:
```tsx
const container = {
hidden: { opacity: 0 },
show: {
opacity: 1,
transition: {
staggerChildren: 0.05, // 50ms delay between each child
delayChildren: 0.1, // 100ms delay before first child
}
}
}
const item = {
hidden: { opacity: 0, y: 20 },
show: { opacity: 1, y: 0 }
}
<motion.ul variants={container} initial="hidden" animate="show">
{items.map(item => (
<motion.li key={item.id} variants={item}>
{item.text}
</motion.li>
))}
</motion.ul>
```
**Benefits**:
- ✅ Avoids animating all items simultaneously
- ✅ Creates pleasing wave effect
- ✅ Reduces performance spike
**Limit**: Still struggles above ~50 items
---
### Solution 3: Lazy Load with `whileInView`
Only animate items when they enter viewport:
```tsx
{items.map(item => (
<motion.div
key={item.id}
initial={{ opacity: 0, y: 20 }}
whileInView={{ opacity: 1, y: 0 }}
viewport={{ once: true, margin: "-100px" }}
>
{item.content}
</motion.div>
))}
```
**Benefits**:
- ✅ Only animates visible items
- ✅ Spreads performance cost over time
- ✅ No virtualization library needed
**Drawback**: Doesn't help with initial render if all items visible
---
### Solution 4: Simplify Animations
For very large lists, simplify or remove animations:
```tsx
const useReducedAnimations = items.length > 50
<motion.div
initial={{ opacity: useReducedAnimations ? 1 : 0 }}
animate={{ opacity: 1 }}
transition={{ duration: useReducedAnimations ? 0 : 0.3 }}
>
{item.content}
</motion.div>
```
---
### Performance Comparison (1000 Items)
| Approach | FPS | DOM Nodes | User Experience |
|----------|-----|-----------|-----------------|
| **No optimization** | 5-10 fps | 1000+ | Unusable, browser hangs |
| **Stagger only** | 15-20 fps | 1000+ | Laggy, still poor |
| **Virtualization** | 60 fps | ~20 | Smooth, production-ready |
| **whileInView** | 40-50 fps | 1000+ | Acceptable for long lists |
| **Simplified animations** | 50-60 fps | 1000+ | Smooth but less polished |
**Recommendation**: Use virtualization for lists with 50+ items.
---
## AnimatePresence Optimization
### 1. Use `mode` Prop
**Wait mode** (sequential):
```tsx
<AnimatePresence mode="wait">
{isVisible && <motion.div key="content">Content</motion.div>}
</AnimatePresence>
```
- Waits for exit animation to complete before entering
- Prevents both elements from being in DOM simultaneously
- Better performance
**Sync mode** (simultaneous):
```tsx
<AnimatePresence mode="sync">
{isVisible && <motion.div key="content">Content</motion.div>}
</AnimatePresence>
```
- Enter and exit happen simultaneously
- More DOM nodes temporarily
- Higher performance cost
**Recommendation**: Use `mode="wait"` for modals/dialogs, `mode="sync"` for crossfades.
---
### 2. Limit AnimatePresence Usage
**Problem**: Wrapping entire app in AnimatePresence adds overhead.
**Solution**: Only wrap components that actually exit:
**Bad**:
```tsx
<AnimatePresence>
<Layout>
<StaticHeader />
<DynamicContent />
<StaticFooter />
</Layout>
</AnimatePresence>
```
**Good**:
```tsx
<Layout>
<StaticHeader />
<AnimatePresence>
<DynamicContent />
</AnimatePresence>
<StaticFooter />
</Layout>
```
---
## Layout Animation Performance
### 1. Use `layoutId` for Shared Elements
**Problem**: Multiple separate layout animations calculated independently.
**Solution**: Use `layoutId` to connect related elements:
```tsx
// Card view
<motion.div layoutId={card.id}>
<CardPreview />
</motion.div>
// Detail view
<motion.div layoutId={card.id}>
<CardDetail />
</motion.div>
```
**Performance**: Motion knows these are the same element, optimizes FLIP calculation.
---
### 2. Add `layoutRoot` for Fixed Elements
**Problem**: Fixed-position elements cause expensive layout calculations.
**Solution**: Mark as layout root to isolate calculations:
```tsx
<motion.div
layoutRoot
layout
className="fixed top-0 left-0"
>
Fixed content
</motion.div>
```
---
### 3. Add `layoutScroll` for Scrollable Containers
**Problem**: Layout animations in scrolled containers are incomplete/broken.
**Solution**: Add `layoutScroll` to account for scroll offset:
```tsx
<motion.div
layoutScroll
className="overflow-auto h-96"
>
{items.map(item => (
<motion.div key={item.id} layout>
{item.content}
</motion.div>
))}
</motion.div>
```
---
## Gesture Performance
### 1. Use `dragMomentum={false}` When Not Needed
**Problem**: Momentum calculations add overhead.
**Solution**: Disable if you don't need inertia:
```tsx
<motion.div
drag
dragMomentum={false} // Disable inertia
>
Drag me
</motion.div>
```
**Use momentum** for: Carousels, swiping
**Disable momentum** for: Precise positioning, drag-to-reorder
---
### 2. Set `dragElastic` Lower
**Problem**: Higher elasticity = more calculations.
**Solution**: Use 0-0.2 for most cases:
```tsx
<motion.div
drag
dragElastic={0.1} // Low elasticity
>
Drag me
</motion.div>
```
**Default**: 0.5 (high)
**Recommended**: 0.1-0.2 (medium)
**Performance mode**: 0 (none)
---
## Measuring Performance
### 1. React DevTools Profiler
**Enable**:
1. Install React DevTools
2. Open "Profiler" tab
3. Click record
4. Trigger animations
5. Stop recording
**Look for**:
- Flame graph spikes during animations
- Components re-rendering unnecessarily
- Long commit times
---
### 2. Browser Performance Tab
**Enable**:
1. Open Chrome DevTools
2. "Performance" tab
3. Click record
4. Trigger animations
5. Stop recording
**Look for**:
- Frame rate (should be 60fps or 120fps)
- Long JavaScript tasks (should be <16ms)
- Layout reflows (should be minimal)
- Paint operations (should be green, not red)
---
### 3. Frame Rate Monitor
Add visual FPS counter during development:
```tsx
import { useState, useEffect } from "react"
function FPSMonitor() {
const [fps, setFps] = useState(0)
useEffect(() => {
let lastTime = performance.now()
let frames = 0
function loop() {
frames++
const now = performance.now()
if (now >= lastTime + 1000) {
setFps(Math.round((frames * 1000) / (now - lastTime)))
lastTime = now
frames = 0
}
requestAnimationFrame(loop)
}
loop()
}, [])
return (
<div className="fixed top-4 right-4 bg-black text-white p-2 rounded text-sm">
{fps} FPS
</div>
)
}
```
**Target**: 60 FPS (or 120 FPS on high-refresh displays)
---
## Production Checklist
Before deploying Motion animations, verify:
- [ ] Bundle size optimized (LazyMotion or useAnimate)
- [ ] `willChange` added for animated transforms
- [ ] Only GPU-accelerated properties used (transform, opacity)
- [ ] `layout` prop used instead of animating width/height directly
- [ ] Large lists use virtualization (50+ items)
- [ ] Scroll animations use `whileInView` or `useScroll`
- [ ] AnimatePresence only wraps necessary components
- [ ] `mode="wait"` used for modals (if applicable)
- [ ] `layoutScroll` added to scrollable containers
- [ ] `layoutRoot` added to fixed elements
- [ ] Tested on low-end devices (throttle CPU in DevTools)
- [ ] Tested with `prefers-reduced-motion` enabled
- [ ] Frame rate verified (60fps minimum)
- [ ] No console warnings from Motion
---
## Performance Budget
Recommended limits for production:
| Metric | Target | Maximum |
|--------|--------|---------|
| **Bundle size (Motion)** | <5 KB | 10 KB |
| **Total JavaScript** | <200 KB | 300 KB |
| **Frame rate** | 60 FPS | 40 FPS minimum |
| **Animated elements (simultaneous)** | <20 | <50 |
| **AnimatePresence wrappers** | <5 | <10 |
| **Layout animations (simultaneous)** | <10 | <20 |
---
## Common Performance Anti-Patterns
### ❌ Anti-Pattern 1: Animating All List Items on Mount
```tsx
{items.map(item => (
<motion.div
key={item.id}
initial={{ opacity: 0 }}
animate={{ opacity: 1 }} // ❌ All 100 items animate at once
>
{item.content}
</motion.div>
))}
```
**Fix**: Use stagger or `whileInView`:
```tsx
const container = {
hidden: {},
show: {
transition: { staggerChildren: 0.05 }
}
}
<motion.div variants={container} initial="hidden" animate="show">
{items.map(item => (
<motion.div key={item.id} variants={item}>
{item.content}
</motion.div>
))}
</motion.div>
```
---
### ❌ Anti-Pattern 2: No `key` Props with AnimatePresence
```tsx
<AnimatePresence>
{items.map(item => (
<motion.div> {/* ❌ Missing key */}
{item.content}
</motion.div>
))}
</AnimatePresence>
```
**Fix**: Always add unique `key` props:
```tsx
<AnimatePresence>
{items.map(item => (
<motion.div key={item.id}> {/* ✅ Unique key */}
{item.content}
</motion.div>
))}
</AnimatePresence>
```
---
### ❌ Anti-Pattern 3: Animating Non-Accelerated Properties
```tsx
<motion.div
animate={{ width: 300, top: 100 }} // ❌ Causes reflow
/>
```
**Fix**: Use transforms:
```tsx
<motion.div
animate={{ scale: 1.5, y: 100 }} // ✅ GPU-accelerated
/>
```
---
### ❌ Anti-Pattern 4: Full Motion Bundle for Simple Use Case
```tsx
import { motion } from "motion/react" // ❌ 34 KB for simple fade
<motion.div animate={{ opacity: 1 }}>Content</motion.div>
```
**Fix**: Use LazyMotion or useAnimate:
```tsx
import { LazyMotion, domAnimation, m } from "motion/react"
<LazyMotion features={domAnimation}>
<m.div animate={{ opacity: 1 }}>Content</m.div>
</LazyMotion>
```

# Motion (formerly Framer Motion) Corrections
Claude's training may reference Framer Motion. The library was **renamed to Motion** in late 2024.
## Package Name Change
```bash
# ❌ Old package name
npm install framer-motion
# ✅ New package name (2024+)
npm install motion
```
## Import Changes
```typescript
/* ❌ Old imports */
import { motion, AnimatePresence } from 'framer-motion'
/* ✅ New imports */
import { motion, AnimatePresence } from 'motion/react'
```
## React 19 Compatibility
```typescript
/* ❌ May cause issues with React 19 */
import { motion } from 'framer-motion'
/* ✅ motion/react is React 19 compatible */
import { motion } from 'motion/react'
```
## Variants Pattern (Unchanged)
```typescript
/* ✅ Same API, just new import */
import { motion } from 'motion/react'
const variants = {
hidden: { opacity: 0, y: 20 },
visible: { opacity: 1, y: 0 },
}
<motion.div
initial="hidden"
animate="visible"
variants={variants}
/>
```
## useAnimation Hook
```typescript
/* ❌ Old import */
import { useAnimation } from 'framer-motion'
/* ✅ New import */
import { useAnimation } from 'motion/react'
const controls = useAnimation()
await controls.start({ opacity: 1 })
```
## Layout Animations
```typescript
/* ❌ Old import */
import { LayoutGroup } from 'framer-motion'
/* ✅ New import */
import { LayoutGroup } from 'motion/react'
<LayoutGroup>
<motion.div layout />
</LayoutGroup>
```
## Quick Fixes
| If Claude suggests... | Use instead... |
|----------------------|----------------|
| `npm install framer-motion` | `npm install motion` |
| `from 'framer-motion'` | `from 'motion/react'` |
| `import { motion }` from framer-motion | `import { motion } from 'motion/react'` |
| `motion` package without `/react` | Use `motion/react` for React components |

/**
* PERFORMANCE TIPS
*
* 1. Add willChange for layout animations:
* <motion.div layout style={{ willChange: "transform" }} />
*
* 2. Use layout prop only when needed:
* - If element size/position doesn't change, don't use layout
*
* 3. Combine with AnimatePresence for enter/exit:
* <AnimatePresence>
* {items.map(item => (
* <motion.div key={item.id} layout exit={{ opacity: 0 }} />
* ))}
* </AnimatePresence>
*
* 4. Use LayoutGroup to isolate layout calculations:

/**
* ISSUE 1: "motion is not defined" or SSR Errors
*
* Cause: Forgot "use client" directive
*
* Solution: Add "use client" at top of file:
*
* "use client"
* import { motion } from "motion/react"
*/
/**
* ISSUE 2: AnimatePresence Exit Animations Not Working
*
* Cause: Next.js soft navigation doesn't trigger React unmount
*
* Solution: Use route-level AnimatePresence is unreliable in App Router.
* For component-level modals/dropdowns, it works fine. For page transitions,
* consider alternatives like view transitions API or middleware approach.
*
* GitHub issue: Check Next.js docs for latest recommendations
*/
/**
* ISSUE 3: Large Bundle Size
*
* Cause: Full motion component is ~34 KB minified+gzipped
*
* Solution: Use LazyMotion for 4.6 KB:
*
* "use client"
*
* import { LazyMotion, domAnimation, m } from "motion/react-client"
*
* export function App() {
* return (
* <LazyMotion features={domAnimation}>
* <m.div animate={{ x: 100 }} />
* </LazyMotion>
* )
* }
*
* See ../references/performance-optimization.md for full guide

/**
* ISSUE 4: Next.js 15 + React 19 Compatibility
*
* Status: Most issues resolved in latest Motion version
*
* Solution: Update to latest:
* pnpm add motion@latest react@latest next@latest
*
* If issues persist, check GitHub: https://github.com/motiondivision/motion/issues
*/
/**
* ISSUE 5: Reorder Component Doesn't Work
*
* Cause: Reorder component incompatible with Next.js routing
*
* Solution: Use alternative drag-to-reorder implementations or avoid Reorder
*
* GitHub issues: #2183, #2101

// PERFORMANCE OPTIMIZATION
// ============================================================================
/**
* 1. Use "motion/react-client" import (not "motion/react")
* - Reduces client JS bundle
* - Optimized for Next.js App Router
*
* 2. Add willChange for transforms:
* <motion.div style={{ willChange: "transform" }} animate={{ x: 100 }} />
*
* 3. Use LazyMotion for smaller bundle (see Issue 3 above)
*
* 4. For large lists (50+ items), use virtualization:
* pnpm add @tanstack/react-virtual
*
* 5. Memoize expensive components:
* import { memo } from "react"
* export const AnimatedCard = memo(AnimatedCardComponent)

* PERFORMANCE TIPS
*
* 1. Add willChange for transforms:

* - Hardware-accelerated
* - Runs on compositor thread (no JavaScript on scroll)
* - 120fps on capable devices
*
* 3. Avoid animating expensive properties:
* ✅ Good: transform, opacity
* ❌ Bad: width, height, top, left (causes layout reflow)
*
* 4. Use useSpring for smooth, natural motion:
* const y = useSpring(useTransform(scrollY, [0, 1000], [0, -200]))
*
