I am using React + Motion Framer and I've encountered several places where I need to animate the layout between 2 components that don't have exactly the same contents. For example SignUp and Login form don't have the same amount of fields, or in the following case, a card can be expanded for more contents.
Now I've approached this as such
import { motion } from "framer-motion";
import { useState } from "react";
import AnimatedImage from "./animatedImage";
export default function ExpendableCard(props) {
const [expanded, setExpanded] = useState(false);
return expanded ? (
<motion.div
onClick={(ev) => setExpanded(!expanded)}
className={
"flex-fix-item w-full shadow-md rounded-md " +
"items-center max-w-sm lg:shrink-0 snap-center "
}
>
<div className="text-lg font-semibold text-white bg-red-500 text-center w-full flex items-center justify-center py-3 px-2 rounded-t-lg">
PENDING
</div>
<div className="flex flex-col gap-2 px-3 pb-0">
<div
className={
"flex-row-centered gap-3 my-3 py-3 " +
" border-b border-gray-600 border-opacity-50 px-2 snap-x "
}
>
<AnimatedImage
classes="flex-fix-item rounded-sm shrink-0 snap-center "
size= " w-52 h-52 sm:w-64 sm:h-64"
alt="asdad"
isVideo={false}

></AnimatedImage>

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text.
It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC,
making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor
at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more
obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and
going through the cites of the word in classical literature,
discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections
1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes
of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a
treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the
Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit
amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.

Tried having the same layoutId on both the expanded and the collapsed version. Tried having separate animation for each one but it all resulted in clunky and jumpy animations.
For some reason, I am unable to properly animate between these components that lose a component (like in the expanding card, the images are not present in the collapsed card). Any advice? Or guides on how to go about this?
