Fixing Animation Issues in React Components

Animations can significantly enhance the user experience in a React application, providing visual cues and engaging interactions. However, when you're integrating animations, it can sometimes be frustrating to find that they simply aren't working as expected. If you're facing such issues in your React app where animations don't fire up, this post is for you!

The Problem: Animation Not Happening

Imagine you've designed a stylish loading animation for your application. Everything looks perfect, except for one major detail—the animation refuses to execute! This situation is all too common, especially when working with CSS-in-JS libraries like Emotion.

In this case, the animation was defined using a keyframes function from Emotion but failed to apply correctly in the React component. The original setup looked like this:

While the styles were defined correctly, the animation didn’t work when rendered in the component.

The Solution: Using Emotion's CSS API

To tackle the animation issue, it requires a small but crucial adjustment. By utilizing the CSS API provided by Emotion, you can seamlessly apply the animation directly within your component's JSX. Here’s how to implement this fix:

Step 1: Import the CSS API

Start by ensuring that you import the necessary functions from Emotion:

Now, go ahead and make your components come alive with smooth animations!
