| # Reusable animations
 | |
| 
 | |
| #### Prerequisites
 | |
| 
 | |
| A basic understanding of the  following concepts:
 | |
| 
 | |
| * [Introduction to Angular animations](guide/animations)
 | |
| * [Transition and triggers](guide/transition-and-triggers)
 | |
| 
 | |
| <hr>
 | |
| 
 | |
| The [AnimationOptions](https://angular.io/api/animations/AnimationOptions) interface in Angular animations enables you to create animations that you can reuse across different components.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Creating reusable animations
 | |
| 
 | |
| To create a reusable animation, use the [`animation()`](https://angular.io/api/animations/animation) method to define an animation in a separate `.ts` file and declare this animation definition as a `const` export variable. You can then import and reuse this animation in any of your app components using the [`useAnimation()`](https://angular.io/api/animations/useAnimation) API.
 | |
| 
 | |
| <code-example path="animations/src/app/animations.ts" header="src/app/animations.ts" region="reusable" language="typescript" linenums="false">
 | |
| </code-example>
 | |
| 
 | |
| In the above code snippet, `transAnimation` is made reusable by declaring it as an export variable.
 | |
| 
 | |
| <div class="alert is-helpful">
 | |
| 
 | |
| **Note:** The `height`, `opacity`, `backgroundColor`, and `time` inputs are replaced during runtime.
 | |
| </div>
 | |
| 
 | |
| You can import the reusable `transAnimation` variable in your component class and reuse it using the `useAnimation()` method as shown below.
 | |
| 
 | |
| <code-example path="animations/src/app/open-close.component.3.ts" header="src/app/open-close.component.ts" region="reusable" language="typescript" linenums="false">
 | |
| </code-example>
