Animation Patterns

Framer Motion Variants

// Fade in on mount
export const fadeIn = {
  initial: { opacity: 0 },
  animate: { opacity: 1 },
  exit: { opacity: 0 },
  transition: { duration: 0.2 },
};

// Slide up on mount
export const slideUp = {
  initial: { opacity: 0, y: 20 },
  animate: { opacity: 1, y: 0 },
  exit: { opacity: 0, y: 20 },
  transition: { duration: 0.3, ease: 'easeOut' },
};

// Scale on hover (for buttons/cards)
export const scaleOnHover = {
  whileHover: { scale: 1.02 },
  whileTap: { scale: 0.98 },
  transition: { type: 'spring', stiffness: 400, damping: 17 },
};

// Stagger children
export const staggerContainer = {
  hidden: { opacity: 0 },
  visible: {
    opacity: 1,
    transition: {
      staggerChildren: 0.05,
      delayChildren: 0.1,
    },
  },
};

export const staggerItem = {
  hidden: { opacity: 0, y: 10 },
  visible: {
    opacity: 1,
    y: 0,
    transition: { duration: 0.2, ease: 'easeOut' },
  },
};

Page Transition Wrapper

import { motion } from 'framer-motion';
import { ReactNode } from 'react';

interface PageTransitionProps {
  children: ReactNode;
}

export function PageTransition({ children }: PageTransitionProps) {
  return (
    <motion.div
      initial={{ opacity: 0, y: 20 }}
      animate={{ opacity: 1, y: 0 }}
      exit={{ opacity: 0, y: -20 }}
      transition={{ duration: 0.3, ease: 'easeOut' }}
    >
      {children}
    </motion.div>
  );
}

Glass Effect Patterns

Glass Card

<div className="glass-card p-6">
  <h2 className="text-lg font-semibold text-text-primary">Card Title</h2>
  <p className="text-text-secondary mt-2">Card content goes here.</p>
</div>

Glass Panel (Sidebar)

<aside className="glass-panel w-64 h-screen p-4">
  <nav className="space-y-2">
    {/* Navigation items */}
  </nav>
</aside>

Glass Modal Overlay

<motion.div
  className="fixed inset-0 glass-overlay flex items-center justify-center z-50"
  initial={{ opacity: 0 }}
  animate={{ opacity: 1 }}
  exit={{ opacity: 0 }}
>
  <motion.div
    className="glass-card p-6 max-w-md w-full mx-4"
    initial={{ scale: 0.95, opacity: 0 }}
    animate={{ scale: 1, opacity: 1 }}
    exit={{ scale: 0.95, opacity: 0 }}
  >
    {/* Modal content */}
  </motion.div>
</motion.div>
