FAQPage Schema
How do I add animations to dynamic list items without writing animation code?

Auto-animate provides zero-config animations for add, remove, and reorder operations on DOM elements. Attach a single ref to your container element—in React, Vue, Svelte, or vanilla JavaScript—and transitions trigger automatically on list changes, with a 3.28 KB gzipped footprint and no dependencies.

Does auto-animate work with server-side rendering in Next.js or Cloudflare?

Yes. Auto-animate includes SSR-safe patterns explicitly tested for Next.js and Cloudflare Workers compatibility, ensuring animations work correctly in both server and client rendering contexts without hydration conflicts.

Can I use auto-animate for accordions, toasts, and form validation messages?

Auto-animate handles transitions across accordions, toasts, form validation messages, and other dynamic UI patterns. Production templates are included for these common use cases across React, Vue, Svelte, and vanilla setups.

How does auto-animate handle accessibility for users who prefer reduced motion?

Auto-animate respects the prefers-reduced-motion CSS media query, automatically disabling animations for users who have motion sensitivity enabled, ensuring accessible experiences by default.

What frameworks and environments does auto-animate support?

Auto-animate works across React, Vue, Svelte, and vanilla JavaScript, with SSR-safe patterns for Next.js and Cloudflare Workers. No framework-specific dependency is required.

Why choose auto-animate over manually writing CSS transitions?

Auto-animate eliminates manual animation code for DOM changes, reducing bundle size to 3.28 KB gzipped, handling edge cases like reordering automatically, and requiring only a single ref attachment instead of per-element transition logic.
