SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill solves the problem of creating smooth, native-feeling UI transitions in React apps by leveraging the browser's View Transition API to coordinate component changes, route navigations, and shared elements.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • <ViewTransition> component-based animations for enter/exit/update/share states across pages and components.
  • addTransitionType for directional or contextual animation tagging during navigations.
  • Shared element transitions (morph) between source and target views, including list items and images.
  • View Transition Events and CSS pseudo-elements (::view-transition-old, ::view-transition-new, ::view-transition-group) to customize animations.
  • Next.js integration with experimental viewTransition flag and optional transitionTypes on Link to coordinate route transitions.
  • Accessibility considerations like reduced motion handling and graceful degradation.
  • Ready-to-use CSS recipes for common patterns (fade, slide, directional nav, morph).

Quick Start

Wrap your page components with ViewTransition and trigger transitions via startTransition and Suspense to enable directional, suspense reveals, and shared-element animations.

Frequently Asked Questions about vercel-react-view-transitions

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I create native view transitions in a React application?

Create native view transitions in React by wrapping page components with a ViewTransition component and triggering updates via startTransition and Suspense to coordinate component changes.

Can I use the View Transition API for shared element morphing between routes in Next.js?

Yes, you can use the View Transition API for shared element morphing in Next.js by enabling the experimental viewTransition flag and applying optional transitionTypes to Link components for route changes.

How do I customize enter and exit animations using view transition CSS pseudo-elements?

Customize enter and exit animations by targeting CSS pseudo-elements like ::view-transition-old, ::view-transition-new, and ::view-transition-group to control component mount and unmount states.

Does the View Transition API support accessibility requirements like reduced motion?

Yes, view transition implementations support accessibility requirements like reduced motion handling and graceful degradation to ensure animations remain usable for all visitors.

What is the best way to tag directional UI animations during page navigations?

Tag directional UI animations during page navigations by using addTransitionType to apply contextual animation tags that coordinate specific route transition states.

Are there limitations when using view transitions for suspense reveals?

Limitations for suspense reveals include browser compatibility flags, requiring graceful degradation for unsupported browsers, and ensuring the ViewTransition component wraps the suspended content properly.
