Is using hooks the only way to create an animation state?

[HyopeR]

Hello. I am working with the Reanimated package.
This is how we used to create animation states in older versions.

new Animated.Value(0)

After the Reanimated 2 update, the animation state is created as follows.

useSharedValue(0);

My question is exactly can I create animation state without using hook useSharedValue() ?
I want to manage many animations by writing an external service, but creating a state with hook only is a big constraint.
Can't new Animated.Value() be done as before?

After examining the source code a bit, I found that I can use these two functions. makeMutable and cancelAnimation. Is it safe to use these two instead of hooks?

Hey, these functions are meant to be used internally. So the answer to your question is that useSharedValue is the way to go.
