vercel-react-view-transitions

Smooth page transitions in React and Next.js are implemented using copy-paste CSS recipes, ViewTransition wrappers, and addTransitionType for directional navigation. This approach provides native-feeling animations for route navigations, Suspense reveals, and shared element morphs.

Native view transitions require react@canary or experimental support. You also need to enable the experimental viewTransition flag in Next.js to integrate transitionTypes on next/link and server components.

Shared element morphs for list-to-detail navigation are created by wrapping pages and fallbacks with ViewTransition, applying directional slide navigation, and using Suspense reveals for content loading to ensure consistent animations.

Yes, view transitions work with Suspense boundaries in React to animate content loading reveals. The implementation workflow guides you to audit Suspense boundaries and wrap fallbacks with ViewTransition for smooth state change animations.

Accessible animations are ensured through copy-paste CSS recipes that include built-in reduced-motion support and backdrop-blur workarounds. This provides consistent, accessible motion across the app without visual jank.

Same-route dynamic segment transitions in Next.js are handled using transitionTypes on next/link and addTransitionType. The workflow provides guidance for isolating persistent elements and verifying directional page transitions.
