What problem does it solve?

React developers often struggle to create smooth, native-feeling transitions between UI states and pages. The View Transition API and related tooling help unify transitions across components and routes.

Core Features & Use Cases

Implement <ViewTransition> boundaries with enter/exit/update/share triggers to craft directional page transitions, shared element morphs, and Suspense reveals.
Integrate with Next.js (App Router) and server/client rendering patterns to create cohesive navigation experiences.
Provide ready-to-use CSS recipes and accessibility considerations (prefers-reduced-motion) for consistent behavior.

Quick Start

Set up a simple directional navigation from a list to a detail view using a named shared element with ViewTransition.
