Next.js 15 and React 19 Framer Motion Fix

if you're using Next.js 15 and React 19, you'll need to the following changes in order to use framer motion (which is now motion), since framer motion is not compatible with React 19 yet.

 
 "dependencies": {
    "framer-motion": "^12.0.0-alpha.1",
    "next": "15.0.3",
    "react": "19.0.0-rc-66855b96-20241106",
    "react-dom": "19.0.0-rc-66855b96-20241106",
    "tailwind-merge": "^2.5.5"
  },
  "overrides": {
    "framer-motion": {
      "react": "19.0.0-rc-66855b96-20241106",
      "react-dom": "19.0.0-rc-66855b96-20241106"
    }
  },

if you're using motion instead of framer-motion, you can make the following changes:

 
 "dependencies": {
    "motion": "^12.0.0-alpha.1",
    "next": "15.0.3",
    "react": "19.0.0-rc-66855b96-20241106",
    "react-dom": "19.0.0-rc-66855b96-20241106",
    "tailwind-merge": "^2.5.5"
  },
  "overrides": {
    "motion": {
      "react": "19.0.0-rc-66855b96-20241106",
      "react-dom": "19.0.0-rc-66855b96-20241106"
    }
  },

I'd highly recommend working with Manu on a site redesign. We came to Manu with a basic website shell. Manu quickly took our rough concept and transformed it into a polished, user-friendly website....
