React-native-reanimated: interpolateColor and withTiming with duration < 250ms dont work in web

[gust42]

Description

When doing a withTiming color animation on web with less than 250 in duration and a scale withSpring animation it reverts to first color on completion

Using interpolateColor function from react-native-reanimated but tested with the one from react-native-redash and same issue

Screenshots

Web example with error

working example on emulator

Steps To Reproduce

Expected behavior

Row should turn green in web

Actual behavior

Row goes back to background color

Snack or minimal code example

here below is the component getting set active on press. Removed other animations for simplicty

export const EmojiButton = ({active, onPress}) => {
  const theme = useTheme();

  const color = useSharedValue(0);
  const scale = useSharedValue(1);

  useEffect(() => {
    if (active) {
      color.value = withTiming(2, {duration: 249, easing: Easing.linear});
      scale.value = withSpring(1.2, {stiffness: 400, damping: 10});
    } else {
      color.value = 0;
      scale.value = 1;
    }
  }, [active]);

  const animationStyles = useAnimatedStyle(() => {
    return {
      backgroundColor: interpolateColor(
        color.value,
        [0, 1, 2],
        [theme.backgroundColor, theme.buttonPressedColor, theme.primaryColor],
      ),
      transform: [
        {
          scaleY: scale.value,
        },
      ],
    };
  }, [theme]);

  return (
    <Pressable onPress={onPress}>
      <Animated.View
        style={[
          {
            height: 80,
            borderBottomColor: theme.dividerColor,
            borderBottomWidth: 1,
          },
          animationStyles,
        ]}
      />
    </Pressable>
  );
};

Hey @gust42
I tried to reproduce your issue but it works for me. Could you check if this code below does work for you?

code

import Animated, {
  useSharedValue,
  withTiming,
  useAnimatedStyle,
  Easing,
  interpolateColor,
  withSpring
} from 'react-native-reanimated';
import { View, Button } from 'react-native';
import React, {useState} from 'react';

export default function AnimatedStyleUpdateExample(props) {
  const [active, setActive] = useState(true)

  return (
    <View>
      <Button
        title="toggle"
        onPress={() => setActive(!active)}
      />
      <EmojiButton active={active} onPress={console.log} />
    </View>
  );
}

export const EmojiButton = ({active, onPress}) => {
  // const theme = useTheme();

  const color = useSharedValue(0);
  const scale = useSharedValue(1);

  React.useEffect(() => {
    if (active) {
      color.value = withTiming(2, {duration: 249, easing: Easing.linear});
      scale.value = withSpring(1.2, {stiffness: 400, damping: 10});
    } else {
      color.value = 0;
      scale.value = 1;
    }
  }, [active]);

  const animationStyles = useAnimatedStyle(() => {
    return {
      backgroundColor: interpolateColor(
        color.value,
        [0, 1, 2],
        ['#ff0000', '#00ff00', '#0000ff'],
      ),
      transform: [
        {
          scaleY: scale.value,
        },
      ],
    };
  }, []);

  return (
    <View onPress={onPress}>
      <Animated.View
        style={[
          {
            marginTop: 10,
            height: 80,
            borderBottomColor: '#ffffff',
            borderBottomWidth: 1,
          },
          animationStyles,
        ]}
      />
    </View>
  );
};

Can you try with a lower duration on the color timing aswell? I have found that its not exacly tied to 250ms

[piaskowyk]

just for certainty - Do you also have this issue when you run my example code?

[gust42]

Not initially but when i lowererd duration on this line
color.value = withTiming(2, {duration: 249, easing: Easing.linear});
to around 200, but behaves really weird because when i turned it back up it didnt work until around 280ms, same thing in incoqnito window aswell

I found this issue and I’m working on it. If you need fast fix since we fix this issue, downgrade react-native-web to version 0.12.3

[gust42]

Excellent! Thanks for the help 👍

[piaskowyk]

The issue is the effect of changes in react-native-web 0.13. The RNW team removed forwardedRef props. 😔
We wait for patch and stay with version 0.12. More information here and here

[ElForastero]

Yeah, this one affects me too.
