Animations 101: Level up your UI with Framer Motion

We´d love to invite you to our upcoming React Meetup. This time we´ll have a closer look at Animations. Interested? Continue reading to learn more details!

React makes it easier to code complex apps. Unfortunately, while building such apps, developers often skip animations altogether. Perhaps because implementing them in React might make your component’s code look cumbersome, or because developers just don’t think they are necessary.

In this talk, we’ll learn how animations can be used not only to make something "pretty" but to make better UIs by showing continuity, masking delays and providing visual feedback. And we’ll learn how Framer Motion helps to make all kinds of animations while keeping your code tidy.

What to expect:

• At the beginning, we’ll check different ways to add animations to your components and talk about their pros and cons.
• Then, we’ll learn how to implement different kinds of animations with Framer Motion. We'll start with simple animations and progress through exit animations, layout animations and to complex orchestration using motion values.
• For dessert, we’ll show you a few Framer Motion tricks that are easy to pull off and will help to level up your UI in subtle ways.
