## Description

Motion-vue is a declarative animation library for Vue that provides a framework for building fluid, high-performance user interface motion. It enables developers to define complex animation states and transitions using code-based variants and spring-driven physics, ensuring that visual updates remain synchronized with component lifecycles and application state.

The library distinguishes itself through a layout projection engine that tracks element coordinates to animate transitions between layout states, and a gesture-driven input pipeline that maps pointer and scroll interactions to animation values. By utilizing hardware-accelerated style injection, it bypasses the virtual DOM to apply updates directly to element properties, facilitating natural, physics-based movement that responds immediately to user input.

Beyond core transitions, the project supports a wide range of motion capabilities including scroll-linked visual effects, sequenced multi-step animations, and orchestrated exit transitions that maintain elements in the document until animations complete. It also provides tools for managing interactive gestures such as dragging and panning, alongside utilities for auditing animation performance and visually configuring easing curves.
