To make a great UI or in straight forward words to retain users into your website for a long time we developers need to be interactive, when I say interactive it doesn’t mean we need to talk to each and every user who visits our website, is that even possible.

But actually what I mean here is that we should know how to engage our customers in our websites. A very good way to interact with the user in a passive way is through animation, GIF and brief videos about your purpose.

There are enormous methods to implement animations in react, let’s talk about them

  • CSS method: This is one of the simplest methods for implementing animation without using any of javascript libraries which ultimately reduces the size of the bundle and improves the application performance in the browser.
  • React-transition-group: This library is written by developers from ReactJs community, and the most important stuff in this library are:
  • React transition group changes the classes when lifecycle methods changes.
  • Ideally not only specific to react-transition-group but while using any CSS its preferable to download it as a package instead of using CDN. Talking about react-transition-group, it is a small package and won’t increase much of your bundle size. So, you can download it as a separate package.
  • React-transition-group has three components which are a transition, CSS transition, and transition group, we need to wrap out components inside these components to get the animation done.
  • React-reveal: React-reveal is MIT licensed react-based animation framework. If you want to create an animation effect while scrolling the application then this is you must go for react-reveal. It has a lot of cool effects such as fade, flip, rotate, zoom, bounce, roll and many more which you can directly implement in your application without putting much effort. You can configure this in your application using Npm or Yarn.
npm install react-reveal --save
yarn add react-reveal
  • React-animations: React animation is the library based on animate.css and can be used with any inline-styled libraries which support object to define the keyframe animations. We can import a specific animation directly as follows
import { fadeIn } from 'react-animations'

It has all the possible animation effects you can think of such as bounce, fade, flash, flip, jello, hinge, rollIn, rollOut and many more.
