Core Features & Use Cases

Declarative control of enter/exit/update/share transitions using the <ViewTransition> component.
Support for shared element morphing, list reordering, directional (forward/back) navigation, and Suspense reveals across Next.js apps.
Ready-to-use CSS recipes, implementation workflows, and guidelines covering persistence isolation, accessibility, and debugging.
Real-world guidance for integrating view transitions in Next.js with server and client components.

Quick Start

Wrap the page content with a ViewTransition and configure its enter/exit for a native-looking transition.

FAQPage Schema

How do I implement native-feeling UI transitions in React without third-party animation libraries?▼

Use the React View Transition API to declaratively control enter, exit, and share animations via the ViewTransition component. This enables smooth, native-feeling UI transitions without third-party libraries by leveraging CSS pseudo-elements and addTransitionType.

Can I use view transitions for shared element morphs and list reorders in a Next.js app?▼

Yes, view transitions support shared element morphing, list reordering, and directional navigation across Next.js apps. The skill provides implementation workflows for both server and client components to handle these specific animation patterns.

How do view transitions handle Suspense reveals during routing changes?▼

View transitions integrate with Suspense to animate content reveals during routing changes. You wrap page content with a ViewTransition component and configure enter and exit properties to achieve smooth visual transitions as Suspense boundaries resolve.

What fallbacks are needed for view transitions to ensure accessibility and safe back-button behavior?▼

Safe fallbacks require setting default to none and implementing proper back-button behavior. The skill enforces strict guidelines for persistence isolation and accessibility to ensure view transitions degrade gracefully when the API is unsupported.

Do I need separate implementations for view transitions in Next.js server and client components?▼

No, the skill provides real-world guidance for integrating view transitions across both Next.js server and client components. It uses ViewTransition, addTransitionType, and CSS pseudo-elements consistently across both rendering environments.
