import { motify } from 'moti'

const MotifiedComponent = motify(MyComponent)()

A higher-order component that turns any React Native class component into an animated moti component.

You can now animate like you normally would:

<MotifiedComponent animate={{ height: [50, 100] }} />

Under the hood, motify runs Animated.createAnimatedComponent for you, so don't pass an Animated.View.

Instead, just pass a normal View (or its equivalent).

Notice that motify() returns a function. At the moment, the function it returns doesn't take any arguments. But I like this composition pattern, so I built the API this way to account for using the returned function in the future.

Context

motify is the function that Moti uses under the hood to create its primitives.

This is the component file in moti:

import { motify } from '../moti'
import {
  View as RView,
  Text as RText,
  Image as RImage,
  ScrollView as RScrollView,
  SafeAreaView as RSafeAreaView,
} from 'react-native'

export const View = motify(RView)()
export const Text = motify(RText)()
export const Image = motify(RImage)()
export const ScrollView = motify(RScrollView)()
export const SafeAreaView = motify(RSafeAreaView)()

That should be all you need for any custom usage.
