framer/motion VS Next.js

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.

Until the time of writing, there is no official example of how to enable runtime environmental variables in a Dockerized Next.js app, as utilizing unstable_noStore would only dynamically evaluate variables on the server (node.js runtime). There is also an interesting discussion regarding this topic on GitHub.

next.js is a very popular React framework. remix-adonisjs includes more functionality through the AdonisJS backend ecosystem, and should be easier to self-host and self-manage.

We want to share with you the best testing setup we've experienced - and this includes using Playwright and NextJS. It's a setup we've come up with for Infinite React DataGrid, which is a complex component, with lots of things to test, but this configuration has helped us ship with more confidence and speed.

If you're acquainted with NextJs, the directives will come as no surprise.
