Do we know whether G2 is bringing its own set of animation primitives? Is it maybe a bit soon to stabilize new animation APIs?

@ItsJonQ Can you weigh in?

The reason for stabilizing here is to provide an alternative to the Animate component which was stable but was suggested for deprecation (#26965 (comment)).

If we'd prefer to leave these as they are, I'm fine with closing this.

@sirreal + @youknowriad Sure!

he G2 components have an Animated component which serves as it's animation primitive. These Animated components are G2 enhanced exports of an underlying animation library, Framer Motion (successor to Pose).

These primitives work completely differently compared to the current WP component Animate component. They rely on an internal animation engine for movement, rather than pre-made static pure CSS animations via classNames.

As such, they won't be compatible with something like getAnimateClassName, as they work on manipulating DOM elements + style, rather than className.

With that in mind, perhaps it's better to hold off creating a getAnimateClassName function.

Hope this helps!

I'll close this. Animate can be deprecated when G2 Animated lands 👍
