# FadeInAnimation

The animation whereby a component fades into view.

```
object FadeInAnimation
```

## Discussion

With this animation type the component fades in as it enters the person’s view. The initial transparency (alpha value) of the component is configurable. A `FadeInAnimation` with the `userControllable` property set to `true` is shown in [this video](https://developer.apple.com/apple-news/videos/fade-in-true.mp4).

### Example

```json
{
  "components": [
    {
      "role": "heading1",
      "text": "2. Unbeatable Heat"
    },
    {
      "role": "figure",
      "URL": "bundle://figure.jpg",
      "animation": {
        "type": "fade_in",
        "userControllable": false,
        "initialAlpha": 0
      }
    }
  ]
}
```
