# useTrail

`useTrail` has an identical API signature to [`useSprings`](/docs/components/use-springs) the
difference is the hook automatically orchestrates the springs to stagger one after the other.

## Usage

### With a function & deps

```jsx lines=1,4-11,15-17
import { useTrail, animated } from '@react-spring/web'

export default function MyComponent() {
  const [trails, api] = useTrail(
    2,
    () => ({
      from: { opacity: 0 },
      to: { opacity: 1 },
    }),
    []
  )

  return (
    <div>
      {trails.map(props => (
        <animated.div style={props}>Hello World</animated.div>
      ))}
    </div>
  )
}
```

### With a config object

```jsx lines=1,4-7,11-13
import { useTrail, animated } from '@react-spring/web'

export default function MyComponent() {
  const trails = useTrail(2, {
    from: { opacity: 0 },
    to: { opacity: 1 },
  })

  return (
    <div>
      {trails.map(props => (
        <animated.div style={props}>Hello World</animated.div>
      ))}
    </div>
  )
}
```
