How can I create animations in React Native?

You can create animations in React Native using libraries like Animated, Reanimated, or Lottie. Which one are you interested in?

What's the difference between Animated and Reanimated?

Animated is built into React Native and is great for simple animations, while Reanimated offers more powerful and complex animations with better performance.

Can you show me a simple example using the Animated library?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

import { Animated } from 'react-native';

const fadeIn = new Animated.Value(0);

Animated.timing(fadeIn, {
  toValue: 1,
  duration: 1000,
  useNativeDriver: true,
}).start();

return <Animated.View style={{ opacity: fadeIn }} />;

What about using Lottie for animations?

Lottie allows you to use JSON-based animations created in Adobe After Effects. It's great for complex animations with minimal performance impact.
