Combining Transitions and Animations


In real projects, transitions and animations are often used together.

Transitions handle simple interactions like hover effects.  

Animations handle continuous or automatic motion.

Combining both creates rich and professional user interfaces.

The card uses animation for continuous floating.

The transition adds a smooth shadow effect when hovered.

The button pulses automatically to grab attention.

The transition makes it grow smoothly when hovered.

This example shows how notifications appear with animation.

Hover adds a transition effect for better interaction.

When to use each

  • Use transitions for user actions  
  • Use animations for automatic motion 
  • Combine both for rich UI effects  

Icons can rotate automatically and still react to hover actions.

This combination feels modern and dynamic.

Practice task

Create a component that:
- Uses animation for continuous motion  
- Uses transition for hover effect  
- Combines both smoothly  
- Looks clean and professional
