react-native-reanimated
provides an API that greatly simplifies the process of creating smooth, powerful, and maintainable animations.
Reanimated uses React Native APIs that are incompatible with "Remote JS Debugging" for JavaScriptCore. To use a debugger with your app with
react-native-reanimated
, you'll need to use the Hermes JavaScript engine and the JavaScript Inspector for Hermes.
Installation
-
npx expo install react-native-reanimated
If you are installing this in an existing React Native app, make sure to install expo
in your project. Then, follow the installation instructions provided in the library's README or documentation.
No additional configuration is required. Reanimated Babel plugin is automatically configured in babel-preset-expo
when you install the library.
Usage
The following example shows how to use the react-native-reanimated
library to create a simple animation.
import Animated, {
useSharedValue,
withTiming,
useAnimatedStyle,
Easing,
} from 'react-native-reanimated';
import { View, Button, StyleSheet } from 'react-native';
export default function AnimatedStyleUpdateExample() {
const randomWidth = useSharedValue(10);
const config = {
duration: 500,
easing: Easing.bezier(0.5, 0.01, 0, 1),
};
const style = useAnimatedStyle(() => {
return {
width: withTiming(randomWidth.value, config),
};
});
return (
<View style={styles.container}>
<Animated.View style={[styles.box, style]} />
<Button
title="toggle"
onPress={() => {
randomWidth.value = Math.random() * 350;
}}
/>
</View>
);
}
const styles = StyleSheet.create({
container: {
flex: 1,
alignItems: 'center',
justifyContent: 'center',
},
box: {
width: 100,
height: 80,
backgroundColor: 'black',
margin: 30,
},
});
