CSS Keyframe Animations with React

Apply and remove @keyframes animations dynamically based on component state and events.

Defining @keyframes

A @keyframes rule describes a multi-step animation by naming property values at points along a timeline, using from/to or percentages like 0%, 50%, 100%.

Unlike transitions, keyframes can describe complex multi-stage motion that runs on its own without a state change at every step.

The animation Shorthand

You apply a keyframe set with the animation property: animation: slideIn 400ms ease forwards. It bundles the name, duration, timing function, and fill mode.

The forwards fill mode keeps the element at its final keyframe values after the animation ends, preventing a snap back to the start.
