globby VS framer/motion

Files to be scanned/excluded are defined via globby which is based on node-glob

The snippet above uses globby to find each page.tsx in the app directory (collectPaths). After the file paths are collected, each path is transformed to the url path (createPath). The last step is to create the sitemap (createSitemap) and write to the public directory.

First install globby and prettier.

If you mean node module, try https://www.npmjs.com/package/qnm If you need to search fs by pattern try https://github.com/sindresorhus/globby

We need to do a few things in our local-intercept.js file to identify and load these files. So we are going to use globby again to find our targetables files.

Because of this, we need to get all our page routes or at least the ones that are public. This is an easy task with globby, this lib allows us to get the name of the files based on regex URL on our folder structure.

Identifying local styling globby is a great tool for recursively scanning directories to find files or folders matching specific criteria, so we need to add that to our project.

The two most popular choices now (circa Jan 2024) are React Transition Group, started in 2016, and Framer Motion, started in 2018. I'm not too familiar with the former, so this article solely dives into the workings of AnimatePresence from Framer Motion and how it's able to enable exit animations.

Install Framer Motion with npm install framer-motion.

At this point, I was already using a tilt component (react-parallax-tilt) in my portfolio, and after checking this page I had the general idea of how it should be done, a container with transform-style: preserve-3d, with two children, one tilt and the other an image, both having backface-visibility: hidden and the tilt being rotated to face backward at the start. For the animation, I decided to use framer-motion because I was already familiar with it and knew it had what was needed to get the job done (and I'm glad I did because later I needed to await the animation and it was easy with framer-motion).

Two of the most popular animation libraries for React include React Spring [26.1k+ GitHub stars] and Framer Motion [19.6k+ GitHub stars], but there are many to choose from. Arafat Islam has a great list of animation libraries here.

Why should you consider using Framer Motion in your React project? Framer Motion is a fairly popular and actively maintained library, with 19k stars on GitHub, and plenty of resources to support it.

Framer Motion has over 18,000 GitHub stars and 2.2M weekly NPM downloads.
