SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

It helps developers implement smooth, consistent UI animations for route changes and component state updates in React without relying on third-party animation libraries.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • React ViewTransition component guidance: How to correctly trigger enter/exit/update/share behaviors and where to place the component in the tree.
  • Directional navigation transitions: How to use addTransitionType to create forward/back page motion that communicates spatial depth.
  • Shared element morphs and list identity: How to coordinate name/share shared transitions alongside list reorder animations using keys.
  • Suspense reveal patterns: How to animate skeleton-to-content flows using separate ViewTransition boundaries with correct defaults.
  • Next.js integration: How to configure experimental.viewTransition and use transitionTypes on next/link to cover link navigations.

Quick Start

Ask the AI to generate the exact ViewTransition wrappers, addTransitionType mappings, and the copy-paste CSS class recipes needed for your React or Next.js app to animate route transitions and shared element morphs.

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 add native view transitions to React route changes?▼

To add native view transitions to React route changes, you trigger enter, exit, and share behaviors by wrapping components with the ViewTransition component and placing it correctly in your component tree.

Can I use view transitions for directional navigation in Next.js?▼

Yes, you can use view transitions for directional navigation in Next.js by configuring experimental.viewTransition and applying addTransitionType to create forward and back page motions.

What is the best way to animate shared elements and list reorders without third-party libraries?▼

Animating shared elements and list reorders without libraries requires coordinating name and share transition pairs alongside React keys to maintain element identity during UI state updates.

How do I animate Suspense reveals from skeleton to content?▼

Animate Suspense reveals by establishing separate ViewTransition boundaries with correct defaults, allowing smooth skeleton-to-content flows during React data fetching and component mounting.

Why are my React view transitions not working properly?▼

React view transitions often fail due to incorrect placement of the ViewTransition component, undisciplined use of default="none", or misaligned name and share pairs for shared element morphs.
