31. Animate Presence

Here’s an example use of Animate Presence, which lets you animate an element just before it will be removed (unmounted) from the layer tree.

Code component

The smallest motion.div is wrapped inside an <AnimatePresence> component. When you give it an exit property (with the values to animate to), it will animate just before being removed (when isVisible becomes false).

export default function CC_31_Animate_Presence(props) {
    const [isVisible, setVisible] = useState(true)

    return (
        <div>
            <motion.div
                style={{
                    width: 150,
                    height: 150,
                    borderRadius: 30,
                    backgroundColor: "rgba(255,255,255,0.5)",
                    cursor: "pointer",
                }}
                onTap={() => setVisible(!isVisible)}
            >
                <AnimatePresence>
                    {isVisible && (
                        <motion.div
                            style={{
                                width: 80,
                                height: 80,
                                borderRadius: 15,
                                backgroundColor: "#fff",
                                margin: 35,
                            }}
                            initial={{ opacity: 0, scale: 0.75 }}
                            animate={{ opacity: 1, scale: 1 }}
                            exit={{ opacity: 0, scale: 0 }}
                        />
                    )}
                </AnimatePresence>
            </motion.div>
        </div>
    )
}

Code override

This override is attached to the outer frame. It wraps the (only) child of that frame inside an <AnimatePresence> and gives it the initial, animate, and exit properties.

export function Animate_Presence(Component): ComponentType {
    return (props) => {
        const { children, ...rest } = props

        const [isVisible, setVisible] = useState(true)

        return (
            <Component
                {...rest}
                onTap={() => setVisible(!isVisible)}
                children={
                    <AnimatePresence>
                        {isVisible &&
                            Children.map(children, (child) =>
                                cloneElement(child, {
                                    initial: { opacity: 0, scale: 0.75 },
                                    animate: { opacity: 1, scale: 1 },
                                    exit: { opacity: 0, scale: 0 },
                                })
                            )}
                    </AnimatePresence>
                }
            />
        )
    }
}

(You can’t just change a React element—you have to make a copy of it with cloneElement().)
