FAQPage Schema
How do I animate UI list changes without writing animation code?

AutoAnimate automates animations for DOM changes like add, remove, and reorder operations. Install @formkit/auto-animate, attach a ref to your container, and transitions apply automatically with zero configuration needed.

Can I use AutoAnimate with React, Vue, and other frameworks?

AutoAnimate works framework-agnostic across React, Vue, Solid, Svelte, and Preact. Use useAutoAnimate in React or the equivalent ref pattern in your framework; SSR is handled safely via dynamic imports or client-only components.

Does AutoAnimate respect accessibility preferences like prefers-reduced-motion?

Yes, AutoAnimate includes built-in prefers-reduced-motion support. Animations automatically disable when users have reduced motion enabled in their system settings.

What UI patterns can AutoAnimate handle?

AutoAnimate animates lists, accordions, toasts, forms, and filters—any UI pattern involving dynamic DOM state changes. Production-ready templates are included for common use cases.

Is AutoAnimate lightweight enough for production?

AutoAnimate is 3 KB gzipped, making it production-ready without significant performance impact. The small footprint works well for performance-sensitive applications.

Do I need to configure AutoAnimate for server-side rendering?

AutoAnimate handles SSR safely through dynamic imports or client-only component patterns—no manual SSR configuration required beyond standard framework practices.
