Auto Animate
Auto-animate is a framework-agnostic JavaScript animation library used to automatically animate the entry, exit, and movement of elements within a document. It functions as a transition tool that adds smooth motion to web application elements to prevent abrupt layout jumps during content changes.
The utility is designed to be reduced motion compliant, automatically detecting and respecting system-level accessibility settings to disable animations for users with motion sensitivities. It also features a plugin system that allows the replacement of default fade and scale transitions with custom keyframe effects.
The library covers layout animations for individual elements and dynamic lists, managing transitions when child elements are added, removed, or reordered within a parent container.
