Motion Vue (motion-v)

Animation library for Vue 3 and Nuxt. Production-ready, hardware-accelerated animations with minimal bundle size.

Current stable: motion-v 1.x - Vue port of Motion (formerly Framer Motion)

Overview

Progressive reference for Motion Vue animations. Load only files relevant to current task (~200 tokens base, 500-1500 per sub-file).

When to Use

Use Motion Vue for:

• Simple declarative animations (fade, slide, scale)
• Gesture-based interactions (hover, tap, drag)
• Scroll-linked animations
• Layout animations and shared element transitions
• Spring physics animations

Consider alternatives:

• GSAP - Complex timelines, SVG morphing, scroll-triggered sequences
• @vueuse/motion - Simpler API, less features, smaller bundle
• CSS animations - Simple transitions without JS

Installation

# Vue 3
pnpm add motion-v

# Nuxt 3
pnpm add motion-v @vueuse/nuxt



// nuxt.config.ts - Nuxt 3 setup
export default defineNuxtConfig({
  modules: ['motion-v/nuxt'],
})

Quick Reference

Loading Files

Consider loading these reference files based on your task:

• references/components.md - if using Motion component, gestures, or layout animations
• references/composables.md - if using useMotionValue, useScroll, useSpring, or animate()
• references/examples.md - if looking for animation patterns or inspiration

DO NOT load all files at once. Load only what's relevant to your current task.

Core Concepts

Motion Component

Render any HTML/SVG element with animation capabilities:

<script setup lang="ts">
import { motion } from 'motion-v'
</script>

<template>
  <motion.div
    :initial="{ opacity: 0, y: 20 }"
    :animate="{ opacity: 1, y: 0 }"
    :exit="{ opacity: 0, y: -20 }"
    :transition="{ duration: 0.3 }"
  >
    Animated content
  </motion.div>
</template>

Gesture Animations

<motion.button
  :whileHover="{ scale: 1.05 }"
  :whilePress="{ scale: 0.95 }"
  :transition="{ type: 'spring', stiffness: 400 }"
>
  Click me
</motion.button>

Scroll Animations

<motion.div
  :initial="{ opacity: 0 }"
  :whileInView="{ opacity: 1 }"
  :viewport="{ once: true, margin: '-100px' }"
>
  Appears on scroll
</motion.div>

Available Guidance
