react‑animate‑hoc is a tiny React library that provides a higher‑order component (HOC) to automatically animate or ease changes to a component’s props. By wrapping any functional or class component with `animate()` (or using the decorator syntax), developers can get smooth transitions for numeric values (e.g., colors, sizes) without writing manual animation code, making it useful for UI developers who want lightweight, declarative prop‑based animations in React projects.
