  • Zero-config animations that attach to a single parent element and automatically animate add, remove, and reorder
  • SSR-safe patterns with built-in accessibility respect for prefers-reduced-motion
  • Production-ready templates for common UI patterns (lists, accordions, toasts, forms)
  • Framework-agnostic support across major ecosystems with ready-made templates and references
  • Includes templates, references, and scripts to accelerate setup

Quick Start

Install the library and attach the returned ref to the parent element to enable automatic animations.

FAQPage Schema
How do I add zero-config UI animations to React lists and components?

Zero-config UI animations for React lists are added by attaching the auto-animate ref to a parent element, which automatically animates add, remove, and reorder operations without custom logic.

Does auto-animate support SSR and respect prefers-reduced-motion for accessibility?

Auto-animate supports SSR-safe rendering and includes built-in accessibility defaults that respect prefers-reduced-motion, ensuring scripts load safely in client environments without server-side issues.

Can I use auto-animate for UI animations in Vue, Svelte, Solid, and Preact?

Auto-animate supports UI animations across React, Vue, Solid, Svelte, and Preact by providing framework-agnostic templates and references that accelerate setup across these major ecosystems.

What are the best ways to animate accordions, toasts, and form feedback without custom logic?

The best way to animate accordions, toasts, and form feedback is using auto-animate's production-ready templates, which provide zero-config drop-in animations for dynamic DOM updates without custom logic.

Why are my DOM animations not working during dynamic list updates?

DOM animations fail during dynamic list updates if the auto-animate ref is not attached to the correct parent element wrapping the items, or if scripts are not loaded safely in client environments.
