CSS animations in React.js can be used similarly as you use in regular HTML and CSS.
You can also use libraries such as react-transition-group and styled-components are often useful to handle more complex animations.
Here’s a simple example of how to use CSS animations in React.js:
1. First, you will need to create a CSS file with your animations.
```
/* style.css */
.fade-in {
animation: fadeIn 1s;
}
@keyframes fadeIn {
0% {
opacity: 0;
}
100% {
opacity: 1;
}
}
```
1. Then, you can import this CSS file into your React component:
```
import ‘./style.css’;
```
1. Then you can apply this animation to any element in your render method by adding the class name:
```
render() {
return (
However, for more complex animations, a robust solution such as react-spring or framer-motion is often a good choice. These libraries provide more advanced and performant solutions for animations, with react-spring being more physics-based and framer-motion being more timeline-based.
For conditional animations, or animations that need to respond to user input or component state, you might need to use inline styles or CSS-in-JS solutions that allow you to write your CSS within your JavaScript, giving you the full power of JavaScript to determine how and when your styles are applied.
