# Motion Vue (motion-v) Animation library for Vue 3 and Nuxt. Production-ready, hardware-accelerated animations with minimal bundle size. **Current stable:** motion-v 1.x - Vue port of Motion (formerly Framer Motion) ## Overview Progressive reference for Motion Vue animations. Load only files relevant to current task (~200 tokens base, 500-1500 per sub-file). ## When to Use **Use Motion Vue for:** - Simple declarative animations (fade, slide, scale) - Gesture-based interactions (hover, tap, drag) - Scroll-linked animations - Layout animations and shared element transitions - Spring physics animations **Consider alternatives:** - **GSAP** - Complex timelines, SVG morphing, scroll-triggered sequences - **@vueuse/motion** - Simpler API, less features, smaller bundle - **CSS animations** - Simple transitions without JS ## Installation ```bash # Vue 3 pnpm add motion-v # Nuxt 3 pnpm add motion-v @vueuse/nuxt ``` ```ts // nuxt.config.ts - Nuxt 3 setup export default defineNuxtConfig({ modules: ['motion-v/nuxt'], }) ``` ## Quick Reference | Working on... | Load file | | ---------------------------- | ------------------------- | | Motion component, gestures | references/components.md | | useMotionValue, useScroll | references/composables.md | | Animation examples, patterns | references/examples.md | ## Loading Files **Consider loading these reference files based on your task:** - [ ] [references/components.md](references/components.md) - if using Motion component, gestures, or layout animations - [ ] [references/composables.md](references/composables.md) - if using useMotionValue, useScroll, useSpring, or animate() - [ ] [references/examples.md](references/examples.md) - if looking for animation patterns or inspiration **DO NOT load all files at once.** Load only what's relevant to your current task. ## Core Concepts ### Motion Component Render any HTML/SVG element with animation capabilities: ```vue <script setup lang="ts"> import { motion } from 'motion-v' </script> <template> <motion.div :initial="{ opacity: 0, y: 20 }" :animate="{ opacity: 1, y: 0 }" :exit="{ opacity: 0, y: -20 }" :transition="{ duration: 0.3 }" > Animated content </motion.div> </template> ``` ### Gesture Animations ```vue <motion.button :whileHover="{ scale: 1.05 }" :whilePress="{ scale: 0.95 }" :transition="{ type: 'spring', stiffness: 400 }" > Click me </motion.button> ``` ### Scroll Animations ```vue <motion.div :initial="{ opacity: 0 }" :whileInView="{ opacity: 1 }" :viewport="{ once: true, margin: '-100px' }" > Appears on scroll </motion.div> ``` ## Available Guidance **[references/components.md](references/components.md)** - Motion component variants, animation props, gesture props, layout animations, transition configuration **[references/composables.md](references/composables.md)** - useMotionValue, useSpring, useTransform, useScroll, useInView, animate() **[references/examples.md](references/examples.md)** - External resources, component libraries, animation patterns and inspiration
