Question 1

Is SVG Morpheus still actively maintained?

Accepted Answer

No, the project is marked as unmaintained in the README. Developers are encouraged to fork it, but there are no ongoing updates, bug fixes, or official support, making it risky for new projects.

Question 2

How to integrate SVG Morpheus with a React app?

Accepted Answer

Since it's a vanilla JS library, you can initialize it in a useEffect hook or componentDidMount, but you'll need to manually manage DOM elements and ensure the SVG structure is correct. Refer to the demos for basic usage patterns.

Question 3

SVG Morpheus vs Lottie for icon animations?

Accepted Answer

SVG Morpheus is specialized for SVG icon morphing with Material Design compliance, while Lottie handles JSON-based vector animations from tools like After Effects. Use Morpheus for simple, code-driven morphs; Lottie for complex, designer-created animations.

Question 4

What browsers does SVG Morpheus support?

Accepted Answer

It supports Chrome, Firefox, IE 10+, Safari, Opera, iOS Safari, and Android Browser 4.4+, as listed in the README. However, performance may vary on older devices due to SVG rendering complexities.

Question 5

How to create a custom easing function?

Accepted Answer

Use the registerEasing function to define your own easing by providing a name and a function that takes a timing argument (0-1) and returns progress (0-1), as detailed in the documentation with examples like cubic-in-out.

Question 6

Can SVG Morpheus handle chained morphs between multiple icons?

Accepted Answer

Yes, by sequentially calling the to() function with different icon IDs, you can chain morphs. However, you'll need to manage timing and callbacks manually, as there's no built-in sequencing feature.
