The View Transition API enables native-feeling UI state and route transitions in React without third-party libraries. You can declaratively control enter, exit, update, and share animations using the ViewTransition component across client and server contexts.

Next.js supports view transitions using experimental viewTransition and transitionTypes properties on Link. This integration enables animated page navigations and context-specific motions across client and server rendered routes.

Shared element morphing and list identity maintain visual coherence across views during a view transition. By tagging transitions with addTransitionType, you standardize cross-view motions and ensure elements visually connect smoothly between states.

Use CSS pseudo-elements for precise motion targeting during view transitions. This approach provides ready-to-use CSS recipes and patterns to standardize common motions while maintaining necessary accessibility considerations.

Wrapping pages with ViewTransition components and using startTransition or Suspense animates navigations effectively. This approach ensures smooth UI state transitions during route changes within your React application.
