# Motion.dev Documentation

Motion is a modern animation library for React, JavaScript, and Vue. It's the evolution of Framer Motion, offering:

- **Tiny size**: Just 2.3kb for the mini HTML/SVG version
- **High performance**: Hardware-accelerated animations
- **Flexible**: Animate HTML, SVG, WebGL, and JavaScript objects
- **Easy to use**: Intuitive API with smart defaults
- **Spring physics**: Natural, kinetic animations
- **Scroll animations**: Link values to scroll position
- **Gestures**: Drag, hover, tap, and more

## Quick Reference

### Installation

```bash
npm install motion
```

### Basic Animation

```javascript
import { animate } from "motion"

// Animate elements
animate(".box", { rotate: 360, scale: 1.2 })

// Spring animation
animate(element, { x: 100 }, { type: "spring", stiffness: 300 })

// Stagger multiple elements
animate("li", { opacity: 1 }, { delay: stagger(0.1) })
```

### React

```jsx
import { motion } from "motion/react"

<motion.div
  animate={{ rotate: 360 }}
  transition={{ duration: 2 }}
/>
```

### Scroll Animations

```javascript
import { scroll } from "motion"

scroll(animate(".box", { scale: [1, 2, 1] }))
```
