Why use this over other animation libraries for React? react-web-animation uses the Web Animations API polyfill so
eventually it will use the native browser implementation and not depend on any third-party animation frameworks or CSS.
Chrome has the greatest support for these today and if you view the source on the demos, you can see it isn't using CSS at all!

react-web-animation has a runtime dependency on the next version Web Animations API polyfill.
The easiest way to get this is to grab it from cdnjs
and include it in your application.
`html`
e.g. and control play state (play, pause, stop, reverse)

* Animate Multiple animations in parallel with a , controlling them with one timeline
* Animate Multiple animations serially with a , controlling them with one timelineUsage
Creating an animated element is as simple using an
component and supplying keyframes and a timing config.
`jsx
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { Animated } from 'react-web-animation';
export default class Basic extends Component {
getKeyFrames() {
return [
{ transform: 'scale(1)', opacity: 1, offset: 0 },
{ transform: 'scale(.5)', opacity: 0.5, offset: 0.3 },
{ transform: 'scale(.667)', opacity: 0.667, offset: 0.7875 },
{ transform: 'scale(.6)', opacity: 0.6, offset: 1 }
];
}
getTiming( duration ) {
return {
duration,
easing: 'ease-in-out',
delay: 0,
iterations: 2,
direction: 'alternate',
fill: 'forwards'
};
}
render() {
return
timing={this.getTiming(2500)}>
