Entrance and exit animations in Framer Motion use variants to define initial, animate, and exit states. Apply motion components to your elements, define variants with keyframes or spring physics, and wrap components in AnimatePresence to trigger exit animations when they unmount. This produces smooth, orchestrated transitions.

Yes. Framer Motion's drag, pan, and whileHover handlers detect user input and trigger animations via variants or inline style changes. Combine gesture detection with spring physics configuration to create responsive, performant interactions like draggable cards or swipe-triggered layouts.

Use CSS will-change on animated properties, leverage GPU-accelerated transforms, configure spring presets to match your interaction feel, and apply reduced-motion detection to respect user accessibility preferences. Framer Motion handles many optimizations automatically when variants are properly structured.

Scroll-triggered animations use scroll event listeners or Intersection Observer paired with Framer Motion controls to activate variants at specific viewport positions. Layout animations preserve motion during DOM reflows by applying layoutId to components, creating fluid transitions during state changes.

Yes. Framer Motion animates SVG paths, shapes, and attributes through motion.svg components and variants. Spring physics is fully customizable via stiffness, damping, and mass parameters, with presets for common feel profiles like gentle, wobbly, or snappy.

Detect the prefers-reduced-motion media query and conditionally disable or simplify animations for users who enable this setting. Framer Motion variants can be conditionally applied based on this preference, ensuring compliant, inclusive motion design without sacrificing visual polish for other users.
