ng-motion is an Angular animation library built on motion-dom.

It is designed to feel familiar if you already know Framer Motion: the same core ideas like initial, animate, exit, variants, layout, motion values, and imperative animate(), but expressed with Angular directives, providers, and injection-context hooks.

The project is currently pre-1.0. The main API is usable, but advanced areas may still evolve.

• Angular 21
• standalone components and directives
• browser rendering

The docs assume a standalone Angular application created with the Angular CLI.

• declarative motion via ngmMotion
• Framer Motion-style variants, gestures, and exit animations
• motion values and derived hooks like useSpring() and useTransform()
• layout animations with layout and shared transitions via layoutId
• scroll-linked motion values and in-view animation
• imperative animate() and scoped useAnimate()

import { Component, signal, type WritableSignal } from '@angular/core';
import { NgmMotionDirective, type TargetAndTransition, type Transition } from '@scripttype/ng-motion';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-demo',
  standalone: true,
  imports: [NgmMotionDirective],
  template: `
    <button
      ngmMotion
      [initial]="{ opacity: 0, y: 16 }"
      [animate]="open() ? openState : closedState"
      [whileHover]="hoverState"
      [whileTap]="tapState"
      [transition]="transition"
      (click)="open.set(!open())"
    >
      Toggle
    </button>
  `,
})
export class DemoComponent {
  readonly open: WritableSignal<boolean> = signal(true);
  readonly openState: TargetAndTransition = { opacity: 1, y: 0 };
  readonly closedState: TargetAndTransition = { opacity: 0.7, y: 8 };
  readonly hoverState: TargetAndTransition = { scale: 1.03 };
  readonly tapState: TargetAndTransition = { scale: 0.97 };
  readonly transition: Transition = { type: 'spring', stiffness: 320, damping: 24 };
}

This is not a React port. The Angular equivalents use directive inputs, Angular outputs, DI, and Angular injection contexts.

Directive inputs also work well with Angular signal() and computed() bindings, for example [variants]="variants()" or [transition]="transition()".

For package consumers:

npm install @scripttype/ng-motion motion-dom motion-utils

For repository development:

bun install

ng-motion ships a Claude Code skill that gives Claude full knowledge of the ng-motion API, directives, hooks, and patterns — so it can scaffold, debug, and refactor ng-motion code for you.

# 1. Add the marketplace
/plugin marketplace add ScriptType/ng-motion-skill

# 2. Install the skill
/plugin install ng-motion@ng-motion-skill

Once installed, Claude Code understands ngmMotion, motion values, gestures, presence, layout animations, and every other API in the library — no extra prompting needed.

Run commands from workspace/.

bun ng serve example
bun ng build ng-motion
bun ng lint ng-motion
npx vitest run
npx tsc -p projects/ng-motion/tsconfig.spec.json --noEmit

Recommended starting points today:

• ngmMotion
• motion values and derived hooks
• gestures
• presence
• layout
• imperative animation

More advanced and more likely to change before 1.0:

• reorder primitives
• drag control helpers
• low-level visual element adapter APIs
• manual feature-loading setup
