What problem does it solve?

It enables developers to implement smooth, native-feeling UI animations in React applications, reducing complexity and reliance on third-party animation libraries.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Page Transition Animations: Animate route changes with directional slides or fades.
  • Shared Element Transitions: Morph elements smoothly between views, such as images or cards.
  • List Reordering: Animate reordering and insertion of list items to improve user experience.
  • Suspense Animations: Fade or slide in content once data has loaded, providing polished load states.
  • Use Case: Implement a product gallery where clicking a thumbnail morphs into a full-screen viewer with smooth transition effects.

Quick Start

Wrap your components with <ViewTransition> and configure CSS animations according to the provided recipes for each transition type.

Frequently Asked Questions about react-view-transitions

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create shared element transitions in React without third-party animation libraries?

Create shared element transitions by wrapping elements with `<ViewTransition>` components and configuring CSS animations. This utilizes the browser's native view transition API to morph elements like images or cards smoothly between views.

Can I use the native view transition API for page transitions in Next.js?

Yes, native view transition API page transitions are compatible with Next.js and React experimental builds. The implementation supports route and component-level animations, enabling directional slides or fades during page changes.

How do I animate list reordering and suspense reveals in React applications?

Animate list reordering and suspense reveals by implementing `<ViewTransition>` components with CSS recipes. This smoothly animates list item insertions and fades or slides in content once data has loaded for polished load states.

What is the best way to implement native UI animations in React instead of relying on heavy animation libraries?

The best way to implement native UI animations is using the browser's native view transition API. This reduces complexity and reliance on third-party animation libraries by handling page changes, shared element morphs, and suspense reveals natively.

Do I need React experimental builds to use native view transitions for component-level animations?

Yes, React experimental builds are required to use native view transitions for component-level animations. The feature requires minimal setup with `<ViewTransition>` components and CSS, implementing both route and component-level animations.

Why do my React view transitions require specific CSS recipes for different animation types?

React view transitions require specific CSS recipes because the native API handles different animation types uniquely. Configuring CSS animations according to provided recipes ensures proper directional slides, fades, and shared element morphs.
