Mastering Animations in Next.js with Framer Motion

Animations can transform a static site into a premium experience. In this post, we'll look at how to integrate Framer Motion with Next.js App Router for maximum impact.

Performance First

The key to great animations is performance. Use layoutId for smooth transitions between components.

Layout Animations

Framer Motion's layout prop is powerful. It handles the math of interpolating between different layouts automatically.

Key Benefits

• No manual CSS transitions.
• Handles layout shifts gracefully.
• Works with dynamic content.

Component Integration

We recommend wrapping your components with motion to enable these features.

import { motion } from "framer-motion";

export const AnimatedCard = () => (
  <motion.div layout initial={{ opacity: 0 }} animate={{ opacity: 1 }}>
    Card Content
  </motion.div>
);
