# Animation API
## spring()
Returns a new source with a dynamically animated value of the input source.
- **Type**
```lua
function spring<T>(
source: () -> T & Animatable,
period: number = 1,
damping_ratio: number = 1
): () -> T
type Animatable = number | CFrame | Color3 | UDim | UDim2 | Vector2 | Vector3
```
- **Details**
The output source value is updated every frame based on the input source
value.
The output is physically simulated according to a
[spring](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_harmonic_motion).
`period` is the amount of time in seconds it takes for the spring to
complete one full oscillation.
`damping_ratio` is the amount of resistance applied to the spring.
- \>1 = Overdamped - slowly reaches target without any overshoot.
- 1 = Critically damped - reaches target without any overshoot.
- <1 = Underdamped - reaches target with some overshoot.
- 0 = Undamped - never stabilizes, oscillates forever.
Velocity is conserved between source updates for smooth animation.
