React-native-reanimated: Poor transitions' docs

[osdnk]

[ovy9086]

can we just rename this to 'Poor docs' in general 😆 ?
for me it's the 3rd time I'm trying to get up to speed with the library, but the docs seem not enough, and the Example/ project seems to have a lot of outdated, inconsistent samples 🤔

i feel like some 'How to XYZ' , easy guides would benefit a lot of people.

@ovy9086, I'm working on some "first steps" type guide, so this should be solved sometime soon :>

'How to XYZ' is IMO too general, it's hard to say which use cases should land in there

@osdnk @jakub-gonet I can help with the docs, I started using Transitions in commercial project and the lack of good docs is making me slow.

I would like to give it a try but it's pretty hard to learn reanimated. Do you know any resources or tutorials (except Can it be done in react native)? 😅

Hi,
I've tried to explain basics of react-native-reanimated by a hands-on approach in a blog.
Hope this helps!

I'm trying to create its part-2 that involves transformation (translation specifically). But it seems interpolate doesn't accept '%' in output. So, I'm struggling a bit there

@pranaybinju thanks for your post, I will take a look

We discussed Transitions internally in our team. Considering that v2 makes creating animations easier and Transitions was an experimental API for a long time, we decided to leave Transitions as they are.

We won’t actively fix bugs and improve docs, but we’ll happily merge any PR with fixes. We’re also thinking about rewriting Transitions in v2 sometime in the future.

I’m closing this issue, but if you have further questions, I will be happy to help.

I've just given up on this library. I love what people do with it but i am completely new to animations and the lack of docs makes it unbearable.

Was simply trying to do a fade transition in.
