Here we'll dive into the API of Animated and all the various functions, code examples and reasons why you would want to use them.
Link to documentation http://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/animated.html#content
To get access to it simple pull it off of your react-native require like so:
import React from "react"; import { View, Animated } from "react-native";
By default, Animated gives us access to 3 animatable components: Animated.View, Animated.Text and Animated.Image.
Later we'll cover how any component can become animatable.
