act

act is a small (5.5KB minified, 1.76KB gzipped), declarative React animation library inspired by pose and built to work with @immutabl3/fluid

Installation

$ npm i @immutabl3/act

Usage

General usage:

Creating a declarative Slide component that will slide when open and closed:

import React from 'react';
import act from '@immutabl3/act';
import fluid from '@immutabl3/fluid';

const Slide = function({ x }) {
  return (
    <div style={ { transform: `translateX(${x}px)` } }>
      hello
    </div>
  );
};

export default act({
  // set initial state for the animation.
  // this can also be a function if we needed
  // to determine the initial x value based on
  // props
  state: { x: 0 },
  // when in the open state...
  open(props, state) {
    return fluid(
      // go from the current x position...
      { x: state.x },
      // to an "open" x position of 100
      { x: 100 },
      { duration: 500 }
    );
  },
  // the reverse of open
  close(props, state) {
    return fluid(
      { x: state.x },
      { x: 0 },
      { duration: 500 }
    );
  },
}, Slide);

Using the Slide component:

import React from 'react';
import Slide from './Slide';

export default function Container({ active }) {
  return (
    <Slide
      // the "act" property controls which
      // state the component should animate to
      act={ active ? 'open' : 'close' }
    />
  );
};

Continuous animation

Continuous animations, or animations that should start and stop declaratively have a separate control mechanism. To illustrate, we'll create a Spinner component that will animate when active.

import React from 'react';
import { animation } from '@immutabl3/act';
import fluid from '@immutabl3/fluid';

const Spinner = function({ deg }) {
  return (
    <div style={ { transform: `rotate(${deg}deg)` } }/>
  );
};

export default animation({
  // set initial state for the animation.
  state: { deg: 0 },
  // animate when active
  when: props => props.active,
  // the animation to run
  animation(props, state) {
    return fluid(
      { deg: state.deg },
      { deg: 360 },
      { duration: 500, repeat: Infinity }
    );
  },
}, Spinner);

Options

act

act(config, Component)

config.key _default: 'act'

The key that controls the animation state. Changes to the value of this key call the matching animation on the configuration object.

config.state default: {}

The starting state of the component. This can be a static object or a function that is passed the component's properties. Note that declarative animations require changes to-and-from states to animate. This method allows the component to render in the correct state for the current act value.

animation

animation(config, Component)

config.animation

A function returning the animation to be ran when when asserts true.

config.state default: {}

See act state above.

config.when default: () => true

A function that returns a boolean indicating if the animation should be active.

Lists

Both act and animation can take an array of React components to render. The key will be the index of the element in the array.

Currying

Both act and animation are curried, allowing you to functionally compose your components:

import act from '@immutabl3/act';
import fluid from '@immutabl3/fluid';

// creating a curried animation
// by not passing the component
// to act
const animation = act({
  state: { x: 0 },
  open(props, state) {
    return fluid(
      { x: state.x },
      { x: 100 }
    );
  },
  close(props, state) {
    return fluid(
      { x: state.x },
      { x: 0 }
    );
  },
});

// animation is now a curried function 
// and can be called with a component later:
export default animation(Component);
