react-spring is a spring-physics based animation library for React that lets you build fluid, interactive UI animations via hooks like useSpring, useTransition, and useTrail. It supports multiple React reconciler targets including web (react-dom), React Native, react-three-fiber, konva, and zdog, with both declarative and imperative APIs.

Use cases

• animate ui components in react with spring physics
• create fade-in and scroll-in animations
• animate three.js scenes with react-three-fiber
• build fluid interactive transitions without re-renders
• chain and stagger animations in react
• animate react native components
• animate svg and html elements

When to choose

• you want natural, physics-based motion instead of duration/curve animations
• you need performant animations that bypass React re-renders
• you need cross-platform animation across web, native, and three.js
• you want both declarative hooks and an imperative API

When to avoid

• you need simple CSS-only transitions without a dependency
• your project is not React-based
• you need keyframe/timeline-based animation with precise durations as the primary model
