motion-gravity

Characters fall in from above with staggered spring-physics timing — each one bouncing to a rest at the baseline. An entrance animation built for hero text and section titles.

Usage

Height

height sets how far each character falls before landing. Larger values give a more dramatic entrance.

Stagger

stagger is the delay in seconds between each character landing. Tighten it for snappy cascades; spread it out for a slow reveal.

Delay

Use delay to hold the animation until after other elements have entered — useful when composing multiple animated elements.

How it works

Each character is wrapped in an inline-block span. On first render (and whenever text changes), all characters are set to opacity: 0 and translateY(-height). Motion One then animates them back to their natural position using a spring (stiffness: 380, damping: 22), staggered by the stagger interval, with an optional leading delay.

Properties

Attribute Property Type Default Description
text text string Text to animate in
height height number 60 Fall distance in px
stagger stagger number 0.05 Seconds between each character landing
duration duration number 0.6 Spring duration hint per character
delay delay number 0 Seconds to wait before the first character falls

Accessibility

When prefers-reduced-motion is set, characters render immediately in their final position with no animation.
