SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Orchestrating smooth, responsive animations in React Native apps can be complex and error-prone. This skill provides a guided approach to implementing animations using Reanimated, the Built-in Animated API, LayoutAnimation, Moti, and CSS transitions via NativeWind, with gesture support when appropriate.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Implement performant UI animations using worklets with Reanimated.
  • Choose the right tool for the task: complex gestures, transitions, or layout changes.
  • Use-case example: add a swipe-to-dismiss card with smooth motion and gesture handling across devices.

Quick Start

Run the /erne-animate command to implement the requested animation using the ui-designer agent.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create smooth 60fps animations in React Native without bridge calls?

Smooth 60fps React Native animations are achieved by running worklets on the UI thread with Reanimated, minimizing bridge traffic. This approach uses the ui-designer agent to select appropriate tools and provide worklet examples that maintain responsive motion.

What is the best way to add swipe-to-dismiss gesture handling in React Native?

Swipe-to-dismiss gestures in React Native are best implemented by combining Reanimated with Gesture Handler. This integration provides smooth motion and robust gesture handling across devices while maintaining on-device performance.

Should I use Reanimated or the built-in Animated API for React Native transitions?

Reanimated is preferred for complex UI-thread work and gesture-driven animations, while the built-in Animated API suits simpler tasks. LayoutAnimation, Moti, and CSS transitions via NativeWind are also available for layout changes and declarative transitions.

Can I use Moti and NativeWind CSS transitions alongside Reanimated worklets?

Yes, Moti and NativeWind CSS transitions can be used alongside Reanimated worklets. The tool selection process evaluates animation complexity to choose the right tool, integrating Moti for declarative transitions and NativeWind for CSS styling.

Why do React Native animations drop frames during complex gesture interactions?

React Native animations drop frames when processing crosses the JavaScript bridge instead of running as worklets on the UI thread. Verifying on-device performance and using Reanimated ensures animations maintain 60fps during gestures.
