Material Motion for JavaScript
This repo houses the JavaScript implementation of Material Motion. For more information about the project as a whole, check the Starmap.
High-level Goals
-
To make gestural interactions as easy to reuse across applications as UI components already are.
-
To enable the motions and gestures described in the Material Spec to be easily implemented by application authors in the JS ecosystem.
-
To make prototyping new animated experiences simpler.
-
To yield a system that feels robust by default. Fragile interactions erode user trust in the overall system: “should I enter my password in a glitchy app?”
-
To allow interactions to be inspected and tweaked with visual tools.
-
To allow interactions to be easily ported across platforms.
-
To allow authors to write views in terms of URLs, and have the system guide the transitions between them.
- Note: This is an eventual goal. In the near term, Material Motion is focused specifically on aiding the creation of reusable gestural interactions.
