React Spring Core: useSpring Hook
Animate values with useSpring — configure tension, friction, and mass for natural-feeling motion.
Spring Physics vs Duration-Based Animation
Traditional CSS animations use a fixed duration: the animation plays over X milliseconds and stops. react-spring animates values using spring physics — the animation is driven by tension (stiffness of the spring) and friction (how much the spring resists motion). This produces naturally decelerating, organic-feeling movement.
useSpring Basic Usage
The useSpring({ from, to }) hook defines an animated value. You specify starting values in from and target values in to. useSpring returns a springs object where each key is a SpringValue — an animated version of the corresponding numeric or color value.
