# Motion Patterns
|
||
|
||
Copy-paste patterns for the most common UI animation needs.
|
||
Every pattern here is built on `motion-foundations` tokens and springs.
|
||
Do not define new duration or easing values here — import them.
|
||
|
||
## When to Activate
|
||
|
||
- Animating a button, card, modal, or toast notification
|
||
- Building list entrances with stagger
|
||
- Setting up page transitions in Next.js App Router
|
||
- Adding entrance or exit animations to conditional content
|
||
- Implementing scroll-reveal, scroll-linked progress, or sticky story sections
|
||
- Building expanding cards, accordions, or shared-element transitions
|
||
|
||
## Outputs
|
||
|
||
This skill produces:
|
||
|
||
- Accessible, SSR-safe animation for all standard UI components
|
||
- `AnimatePresence`-wrapped conditional renders with correct exit behavior
|
||
- Page transition wrapper component for Next.js App Router
|
||
- Scroll-reveal and scroll-linked patterns using `useScroll` + `useTransform`
|
||
- Layout animation patterns (`layout`, `layoutId`) for expanding and crossfading elements
|
||
|
||
## Principles
|
||
|
||
- Every pattern imports from `motion-foundations`. No raw numbers.
|
||
- Every conditional render is wrapped in `AnimatePresence` with a `key`.
|
||
- Exit animations are always defined alongside enter animations — never as an afterthought.
|
||
- `layout` is used only for small, isolated shifts. Large subtrees get explicit transforms.
|
||
|
||
## Rules
|
||
|
||
1. **Always wrap conditional renders in `AnimatePresence` with a `key`** on the direct child. Without a key, exit animations never fire.
|
||
2. **Always define `exit` when defining `initial` + `animate`.** An animation without an exit is incomplete.
|
||
3. **Use `mode="wait"` on page transitions.** Enter must not start until exit completes.
|
||
4. **Never use `layout` on subtrees with more than ~5 children or deeply nested DOM.** Use explicit `x`/`y` transforms instead.
|
||
5. **Stagger interval must stay between `0.05s` and `0.10s`.** Below feels mechanical; above feels sluggish.
|
||
6. **Modals must always include:** focus trap, Escape-key close, scroll lock, `role="dialog"`, `aria-modal="true"`.
|
||
7. **Scroll reveals use `viewport={{ once: true }}`.** Repeating on scroll-out is distracting, not informative.
|
||
8. **All token values are imported from `motion-foundations`.** No inline numbers.
|
||
|
||
## Decision Guidance
|
||
|
||
### Choosing the right pattern
|
||
|
||
| Situation | Pattern |
|
||
| ---------------------------------------- | ---------------------- |
|
||
| Element appears / disappears | `AnimatePresence` |
|
||
| List of items loading in sequence | Stagger variants |
|
||
| Navigating between routes | Page transition wrapper|
|
||
| Element changes size in place | `layout` prop |
|
||
| Same element moves across page contexts | `layoutId` |
|
||
| Element enters when scrolled into view | `whileInView` |
|
||
| Value tied to scroll position | `useScroll` + `useTransform` |
|
||
|
||
### When to use `mode="wait"` vs `mode="sync"`
|
||
|
||
| Mode | Use when |
|
||
| ------- | --------------------------------------- |
|
||
| `wait` | Page transitions, content swaps (one at a time) |
|
||
| `sync` | Stacked notifications, list items (overlap is fine) |
|
||
| `popLayout` | Items removed from a reflow list |
|
||
|
||
## Core Concepts
|
||
|
||
### AnimatePresence contract
|
||
|
||
Three things must always be true:
|
||
|
||
1. `AnimatePresence` wraps the conditional
|
||
2. The direct child has a `key`
|
||
3. The child has an `exit` prop
|
||
|
||
Miss any one of these and the exit animation silently fails.
|
||
|
||
### layout vs layoutId
|
||
|
||
- `layout` — animates the element's own size/position change in place
|
||
- `layoutId` — links two separate elements, crossfading between them across renders
|
||
|
||
Use `layout="position"` on text inside an expanding container to prevent text reflow from animating.
|
||
|
||
## Code Examples
|
||
|
||
### Button feedback
|
||
|
||
```tsx
|
||
"use client"
|
||
import { motion } from "motion/react"
|
||
import { springs, motionTokens } from "@/lib/motion-tokens"
|
||
|
||
<motion.button
|
||
whileHover={{ scale: motionTokens.scale.pop }}
|
||
whileTap={{ scale: motionTokens.scale.press }}
|
||
transition={springs.snappy}
|
||
/>
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Stagger list
|
||
|
||
```tsx
|
||
"use client"
|
||
import { motion } from "motion/react"
|
||
import { motionTokens, springs } from "@/lib/motion-tokens"
|
||
|
||
const container = {
|
||
hidden: {},
|
||
visible: {
|
||
transition: {
|
||
staggerChildren: 0.08, // within the 0.05–0.10 rule
|
||
delayChildren: 0.1,
|
||
},
|
||
},
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
const item = {
|
||
hidden: { opacity: 0, y: motionTokens.distance.md },
|
||
visible: { opacity: 1, y: 0, transition: springs.gentle },
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
<motion.ul variants={container} initial="hidden" animate="visible">
|
||
{items.map((i) => (
|
||
<motion.li key={i.id} variants={item} />
|
||
))}
|
||
</motion.ul>
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Modal
|
||
|
||
```tsx
|
||
"use client"
|
||
import { motion, AnimatePresence } from "motion/react"
|
||
import { motionTokens, springs } from "@/lib/motion-tokens"
|
||
|
||
// Wrap at the call site:
|
||
// <AnimatePresence>{isOpen && <Modal key="modal" />}</AnimatePresence>
|
||
|
||
export function Modal({ onClose }: { onClose: () => void }) {
|
||
return (
|
||
<>
|
||
{/* Overlay */}
|
||
<motion.div
|
||
className="fixed inset-0 bg-black/50"
|
||
initial={{ opacity: 0 }}
|
||
animate={{ opacity: 1 }}
|
||
exit={{ opacity: 0 }}
|
||
onClick={onClose}
|
||
/>
|
||
|
||
{/* Panel — accessibility requirements: focus trap, Escape close,
|
||
scroll lock, role="dialog", aria-modal="true" */}
|
||
<motion.div
|
||
role="dialog"
|
||
aria-modal="true"
|
||
className="fixed inset-x-4 top-1/2 -translate-y-1/2 rounded-xl bg-white p-6"
|
||
initial={{
|
||
opacity: 0,
|
||
scale: motionTokens.scale.press,
|
||
y: motionTokens.distance.sm,
|
||
}}
|
||
animate={{ opacity: 1, scale: 1, y: 0 }}
|
||
exit={{
|
||
opacity: 0,
|
||
scale: motionTokens.scale.press,
|
||
y: motionTokens.distance.sm,
|
||
}}
|
||
transition={springs.gentle}
|
||
/>
|
||
</>
|
||
)
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Toast stack
|
||
|
||
```tsx
|
||
"use client"
|
||
import { motion, AnimatePresence } from "motion/react"
|
||
import { motionTokens, springs } from "@/lib/motion-tokens"
|
||
|
||
<AnimatePresence mode="sync">
|
||
{toasts.map((t) => (
|
||
<motion.div
|
||
key={t.id}
|
||
layout
|
||
initial={{
|
||
opacity: 0,
|
||
x: motionTokens.distance.xl,
|
||
scale: motionTokens.scale.subtle,
|
||
}}
|
||
animate={{ opacity: 1, x: 0, scale: 1 }}
|
||
exit={{
|
||
opacity: 0,
|
||
x: motionTokens.distance.xl,
|
||
scale: motionTokens.scale.subtle,
|
||
}}
|
||
transition={springs.snappy}
|
||
/>
|
||
))}
|
||
</AnimatePresence>
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Page transition (Next.js App Router)
|
||
|
||
```tsx
|
||
// components/page-transition.tsx
|
||
"use client"
|
||
import { motion, AnimatePresence } from "motion/react"
|
||
import { usePathname } from "next/navigation"
|
||
import { motionTokens } from "@/lib/motion-tokens"
|
||
|
||
const variants = {
|
||
initial: { opacity: 0, y: motionTokens.distance.sm },
|
||
enter: { opacity: 1, y: 0 },
|
||
exit: { opacity: 0, y: -motionTokens.distance.sm },
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
export function PageTransition({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) {
|
||
const pathname = usePathname()
|
||
return (
|
||
<AnimatePresence mode="wait">
|
||
<motion.div
|
||
key={pathname}
|
||
variants={variants}
|
||
initial="initial"
|
||
animate="enter"
|
||
exit="exit"
|
||
transition={{
|
||
duration: motionTokens.duration.normal,
|
||
ease: motionTokens.easing.smooth,
|
||
}}
|
||
>
|
||
{children}
|
||
</motion.div>
|
||
</AnimatePresence>
|
||
)
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Scroll reveal
|
||
|
||
```tsx
|
||
"use client"
|
||
import { motion } from "motion/react"
|
||
import { motionTokens, springs } from "@/lib/motion-tokens"
|
||
|
||
<motion.div
|
||
initial={{ opacity: 0, y: motionTokens.distance.lg }}
|
||
whileInView={{ opacity: 1, y: 0 }}
|
||
viewport={{ once: true, margin: "-80px" }} // once: true — rule 7
|
||
transition={{ duration: motionTokens.duration.slow, ease: motionTokens.easing.smooth }}
|
||
/>
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Scroll progress bar
|
||
|
||
```tsx
|
||
"use client"
|
||
import { motion, useScroll } from "motion/react"
|
||
|
||
export function ScrollProgress() {
|
||
const { scrollYProgress } = useScroll()
|
||
return (
|
||
<motion.div
|
||
className="fixed top-0 left-0 h-1 bg-indigo-500 origin-left w-full"
|
||
style={{ scaleX: scrollYProgress }}
|
||
/>
|
||
)
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Expanding card
|
||
|
||
```tsx
|
||
"use client"
|
||
import { useState } from "react"
|
||
import { motion, AnimatePresence } from "motion/react"
|
||
import { springs, motionTokens } from "@/lib/motion-tokens"
|
||
|
||
export function ExpandingCard({ title, body }: { title: string; body: string }) {
|
||
const [expanded, setExpanded] = useState(false)
|
||
|
||
return (
|
||
<motion.div layout onClick={() => setExpanded(!expanded)} className="cursor-pointer">
|
||
{/* layout="position" prevents text reflow from animating */}
|
||
<motion.h2 layout="position" className="font-semibold">
|
||
{title}
|
||
</motion.h2>
|
||
|
||
<AnimatePresence>
|
||
{expanded && (
|
||
<motion.p
|
||
key="body"
|
||
initial={{ opacity: 0 }}
|
||
animate={{ opacity: 1 }}
|
||
exit={{ opacity: 0 }}
|
||
transition={{ duration: motionTokens.duration.fast }}
|
||
>
|
||
{body}
|
||
</motion.p>
|
||
)}
|
||
</AnimatePresence>
|
||
</motion.div>
|
||
)
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Shared-element crossfade
|
||
|
||
```tsx
|
||
// Source context
|
||
<motion.img layoutId="hero-image" src={src} className="w-16 h-16 rounded" />
|
||
|
||
// Destination context (same layoutId — motion handles the transition)
|
||
<motion.img layoutId="hero-image" src={src} className="w-full rounded-xl" />
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Accordion
|
||
|
||
```tsx
|
||
<motion.div
|
||
initial={false}
|
||
animate={{ opacity: open ? 1 : 0, scaleY: open ? 1 : 0 }}
|
||
style={{ transformOrigin: "top", overflow: "hidden" }}
|
||
transition={{
|
||
duration: motionTokens.duration.normal,
|
||
ease: motionTokens.easing.smooth,
|
||
}}
|
||
>
|
||
{children}
|
||
</motion.div>
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## End-to-End Example
|
||
|
||
A staggered list that enters on mount, handles conditional presence, and
|
||
respects reduced motion — combining tokens, springs, AnimatePresence, and
|
||
the accessibility hook from `motion-foundations`:
|
||
|
||
```tsx
|
||
"use client"
|
||
import { useState } from "react"
|
||
import { motion, AnimatePresence } from "motion/react"
|
||
import { motionTokens, springs } from "@/lib/motion-tokens"
|
||
import { useSafeMotion } from "@/hooks/use-reduced-motion"
|
||
|
||
const containerVariants = {
|
||
hidden: {},
|
||
visible: {
|
||
transition: { staggerChildren: 0.08, delayChildren: 0.1 },
|
||
},
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
function ListItem({ label, onRemove }: { label: string; onRemove: () => void }) {
|
||
const safe = useSafeMotion(motionTokens.distance.sm)
|
||
return (
|
||
<motion.li
|
||
variants={{
|
||
hidden: safe.initial,
|
||
visible: safe.animate,
|
||
}}
|
||
exit={safe.exit}
|
||
transition={springs.gentle}
|
||
className="flex items-center justify-between p-3 rounded-lg bg-white shadow-sm"
|
||
>
|
||
<span>{label}</span>
|
||
<button onClick={onRemove}>Remove</button>
|
||
</motion.li>
|
||
)
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
export function AnimatedList({ items, onRemove }: {
|
||
items: { id: string; label: string }[]
|
||
onRemove: (id: string) => void
|
||
}) {
|
||
return (
|
||
<motion.ul
|
||
variants={containerVariants}
|
||
initial="hidden"
|
||
animate="visible"
|
||
className="space-y-2"
|
||
>
|
||
<AnimatePresence mode="popLayout">
|
||
{items.map((item) => (
|
||
<ListItem
|
||
key={item.id}
|
||
label={item.label}
|
||
onRemove={() => onRemove(item.id)}
|
||
/>
|
||
))}
|
||
</AnimatePresence>
|
||
</motion.ul>
|
||
)
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Constraints / Non-Goals
|
||
|
||
This skill does **not** cover:
|
||
|
||
- Token and spring definitions → see `motion-foundations`
|
||
- Drag interactions, swipe gestures, reorderable lists → see `motion-advanced`
|
||
- Text animations (word/character reveal, counters) → see `motion-advanced`
|
||
- SVG path drawing or morphing → see `motion-advanced`
|
||
- Custom animation hooks → see `motion-advanced`
|
||
- CSS-only transitions not using `motion/react`
|
||
|
||
## Anti-Patterns
|
||
|
||
| Anti-pattern | Rule violated | Fix |
|
||
| -------------------------------------------- | ------- | ------------------------------------------ |
|
||
| `AnimatePresence` child missing `key` | Rule 1 | Add stable `key` to the direct child |
|
||
| `initial` + `animate` without `exit` | Rule 2 | Always define all three together |
|
||
| Page transition without `mode="wait"` | Rule 3 | Add `mode="wait"` to `AnimatePresence` |
|
||
| `layout` on a 50-item list | Rule 4 | Use `mode="popLayout"` or explicit transforms |
|
||
| `staggerChildren: 0.2` on a 10-item list | Rule 5 | Cap at `0.08–0.10` |
|
||
| Modal without focus trap | Rule 6 | Add `focus-trap-react` or Radix Dialog |
|
||
| `whileInView` without `viewport={{ once: true }}` | Rule 7 | Repeating entrances distract, not inform |
|
||
| `transition={{ duration: 0.3 }}` inline | Rule 8 | Use `motionTokens.duration.normal` |
|
||
|
||
## Related Skills
|
||
|
||
- **`motion-foundations`** — defines all tokens, springs, the `useSafeMotion` hook, and SSR guards that every pattern here imports. Must be set up first.
|
||
- **`motion-advanced`** — extends these patterns with drag, gestures, SVG, text, custom hooks, and imperative sequencing. Does not redefine any patterns from this skill.
