Animations play a crucial role in an application’s user experience (UX). A set of well-designed animations can make an application feel fast, polished, and professional. However, creating animations can be a daunting task that involves knowing what is available and how to choose the right approach for each task.

You will start with the easiest methods and move on to more advanced animation methods as you make your way through this course. You’ll start with general animation techniques, covering CSS transitions, animations, and the Web Animations API, followed by Angular animations and integrating external animation libraries. Lastly, you’ll finish with a deep dive into animation performance and debugging.

This course will provide you with information and advice to help you create beautiful and performant animations in Angular applications. By the end of the course, you will be able to create performant animations and choose the right tools to create them effectively.

Animations in Angular

[**Motion One**](https://motion.dev/) is an animation library built on the Web Animations API. The syntax of this library has a lot of similarities with [Popmotion](https://popmotion.io/) and [Greensock](https://greensock.com/) that will be discussed in the upcoming lessons.

This lesson will show you how to use Motion One in an Angular application. We’ll walk through the installation process, create a simple animation, and use Motion One’s spring and timeline features.

You don’t need to install this library because we’ve already installed. However, if you want to install it on your local machine, you can find out how in the Appendix lesson titled [Setting up Third-party Libraries](https://www.educative.io/courses/animations-in-angular/setting-up-third-party-libraries).

# Basic animation using Motion One

Let’s walk through creating a simple animation using Motion One’s APIs. We’ll be creating a box that will rotate `360` degrees when it’s clicked.

1. Create a `div` in the template (`app.component.html`) and give it an id and a click handler.

Learn how to use Motion One's animation APIs to create animations in an Angular application.
