## What it is
React Flight is a React library for building animation compositions by defining start and end frames; it interpolates between them automatically. It aims to be a friction-free way to animate interactions or short movie-like compositions as self-contained React components.

## Use cases
- animate ui interactions in react
- build animation compositions from keyframes
- prototype motion designs in react
- create short movie-like animated widgets
- interpolate between component states for animation

## When to choose
- you want frame-based animation composition in React with minimal setup
- you need to animate between two component states without manual tweening
- you're prototyping interaction or motion ideas quickly

## When to avoid
- you need complex timeline or physics-based animation tooling
- your project avoids jQuery, which is currently a dependency
- you need a library under active development with recent updates

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: animation, ui-components, frontend-framework
- domain: frontend, web-development, graphics
- platform: browser
- tags: react, animation-composition, keyframes, motion-design, prototyping, web-server, nodejs
