# Add Components at runtime

The asset wasn’t really designed with AddComponent in mind. Adding a SpringComponent in the Inspector, setting it up and optionally referencing it from some other script is always the ideal recommended use case.

**But if, for some reason, you want or need to add a SpringComponent at runtime this is how you do it:**

1. Add a SpringComponent in runtime
2. Setup the SpringComponent
3. Initialize the SpringComponent
4. Use it normally

**Here 2 examples:**

```
colorSpring = gameObject.AddComponent<ColorSpringComponent>();
colorSpring.SetAutoUpdateToTrue(isRenderer: false, uiImage.gameObject);
colorSpring.Initialize();
colorSpring.SetCurrentValue(Color.white);
colorSpring.SetTarget(Color.yellow);

```

**And:**

```
transformSpringComponent = uiImage.gameObject.AddComponent<TransformSpringComponent>();
transformSpringComponent.useTransformAsTarget = true;
transformSpringComponent.followerTransform = uiImage.transform;
transformSpringComponent.targetTransform = uiImageTarget.transform;
transformSpringComponent.SpringScaleEnabled = false;
transformSpringComponent.Initialize();

```
