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.
