react-native-reanimated
A React Native library for creating smooth animations and interactions with multi-threaded JavaScript execution via worklets.
What is react-native-reanimated?
React Native Reanimated is a library for creating smooth animations and interactions in React Native applications. It reimplements the standard Animated API to execute animations on the UI thread instead of the JavaScript thread, eliminating performance bottlenecks and frame drops. The package also includes React Native Worklets, which enables multi-threaded JavaScript execution for offloading intensive computations.
React Native developers building mobile applications with complex animations, gesture-driven interactions, or performance-sensitive UI components. It's particularly valuable for teams needing buttery-smooth animations that work reliably across different devices and OS versions.
Developers choose Reanimated over the standard Animated API because it guarantees smooth 60 FPS animations by executing them on the UI thread, avoiding the limitations of React Native's bridge architecture. Its worklet system also provides unique multi-threading capabilities for JavaScript code.
