|---|---|
| Hover feedback | |
| Tap / press feedback | |
| Reveal on scroll | |
| Scroll-linked value | |
| Conditional mount/unmount | |
| Small layout shifts (single element, < ~300px change) | |
| Large layout shifts or full-page reflows | Avoid |
| Complex, imperative sequences | |
Why avoidon large containers? Framer's layout animation useslayoutto reconcile positions, but on elements that span the full viewport or trigger deep reflow, the measurement cost causes visible jank and CLS. Prefer CSS Grid/Flexbox transitions or coordinate withtransformon specific child elements only.layoutId
layoutIdAnimatePresencemodemodemode"sync" | When to use |
|---|---|
| Exit completes before enter starts. Use for modals, toasts, page transitions. |
| Enter and exit overlap. Use only when overlap is intentional (e.g., crossfade carousels). |
| Exiting element is popped out of flow immediately; remaining items animate to fill. Use for lists, tabs, dismissible cards. |
// Modal — always use "wait"
<AnimatePresence mode="wait">
{open && <Modal key="modal" />}

// Dismissible list item — use "popLayout"
