Hey DN!
Since Framer X is out, I'm proud to launch my course Framer X + React too! It's been my great pleasure to partner with Framer and it's been a thrilling experience.
Framer X + React is an introductory course for designers with little or no programming experience. It covers Framer X tips, React fundamentals and enough JavaScript for you to be able to build simple (but useful) micro-interactions and components. Hoping to motivate you to learn more about React/JS!
I've been using Framer X intensively since its first beta, built a couple of components, hosted some webinars, and shared a few pro tips. Can't wait to share with you more of my learnings in this course!
Since Framer is built using open technologies it can consume most NPM packages. In this article we'll walk you through importing a component from an existing React library, and how to get it to show on the Framer canvas. Material UI is a collection of React components used to design user interfaces. If we want to use one of the.
Framer X is an interactive design tool that allows designers to generate react components without writing any code. It was in a closed beta for awhile, and I've read good things from the community. Not sure about using the generated code in a production environment, but might be useful for prototyping? Framer X allows you to build simple transitions between screens, micro interactions, but also to design complex interactions making use of React code. By using Framer X, you will speed up your design process and will be able to better communicate the interaction of your designs to the team and stakeholders. Framer X + React is an introductory course for designers with little or no programming experience.

Developers can truly collaborate with designers in creating consistent and production-ready components.
I've been trying to teach in a visual and fun way. That's the why for Mr. Skinny the crow (what? It doesn't really look like a crow?). When teaching code, I'm using the Copy-Paste-Learn™ approach. It's what most of us have been doing to learn HTML/CSS/JS and I think it's an effective way!
It's been very intensive 1.5 months since I got started with the course but I'm very happy about what we've got! Hope you enjoy the course as much as I do creating!
Check it out and let me know what you think! 40% OFF launch special!
Happy learning!

I've been testing several React animation libraries and Framer Motion made the highest impression on me. In this post we'll explore how to use Framer Motion to animate Next.js page transitions.
Here's an example:

Here's an example:

What is Framer Motion
Framer Motion is the newest React animation library, a successor to Popmotion Pose. It also powers animations in Framer X, a powerful prototyping tool.
I used Popmotion Pose before, so the concepts behind Framer Motion weren't foreign to me, but I was still amazed by the simple API that makes even complex animations easy to implement.
Framer Motion comes with the server-side rendering support out of the box, so it's also perfect for Next.js apps. Autocad 2016 download free.
To get started with Framer Motion in a React project, install the framer-motion package from npm:
Note: Framer Motion requires React 16.8 or greater.
Once installed, import motion into your components:
The core of the Motion API are motion components. To animate elements, we need to replace primitive DOM elements (like div, svg, etc.) with their Motion counterparts: motion.div, motion.svg, etc. These components offer extra props that allow you to declaratively add animations and gestures.
motion components are animated via the animate prop which can accept an object, variant label(s), or a reference to imperative animation controls.
Here's a simple component that animates a single div element:
Using Framer Motion for Next.js page transitions
Framer X Download
Framer Motion provides an AnimatePresence component which makes it possible to animate React components as they mount and unmount.
To be able to animate page transitions, AnimatePresence must be a direct parent component of individual page components.
In Next.js we can use a special pages/_app.js file to create a custom component where we can include parent components to pages.
This is how an _app.js file looks like by default:
The part represents individual pages, so we can add Framer Motion AnimatePresence as their parent component like this:
Notice that I also added a key prop to and set it to the current route. This is important so that AnimatePresence can track the presence of child components in the tree.
I also added exitBeforeEnter prop to AnimatePresence to make sure the exiting page finishes its exit animation before the next page starts animating.
If you need to add a global layout component for your pages, you can do it like this:
I wrote about Next.js layouts in more detail in a previous post.
For the example site, I created two pages, homepage as the 'post index' and a dynamic post page, and defined enter and exit animations for both.
Framer Motion provides Variants, which are sets of pre-defined target objects. They allow us to animate entire sub-trees of components with a single animate prop.
For the post index page I created a parent motion.div component with the variants prop where I defined how the child elements will transition on exit:
With staggerChildren we define that children elements (posts) should transition away one by one with animation duration of 0.1 second.
To animate individual posts, I wanted a more complex animation, so I defined an object with an initial, enter and exit objects:
This object is added as variants prop to the post container: .
initial is used to define starting element styles, enter for styles to which the element will animate when mounting and exit for animating when unmounting.
I used the same approach to animate individual posts, but I created separate animations for post image, post text and the back button:
Framer X React
My suggestion is to play with the example code and try adjusting the animations. I hope my examples will help you get started with animating your Next.js apps.
