Compare all 4 →- Clerk: Conditional Fieldmotion/clerk-conditional-fieldA password field that animates into a sign-in form only when it's needed. The container animates its measured height with Motion's resize() util while the field fades in.
- Checkbox checktransitions/checkbox-checkCheckboxes, to-do completion, multi-select rows — any boolean control where the checked state should feel earned. The box's background fills first, then the checkmark draws itself via stroke-dashoffset after a short delay; unchecking reverses quickly with no draw.
- Toggletransitions/toggleOn/off switches — settings rows, theme toggles, feature flags. The thumb travels across the track with a two-step overshoot (past the end, back, settle) while the track color cross-fades on its own clock.
