What problem does it solve?

React apps often suffer from abrupt UI changes during navigation. This guide provides a systematic approach to implementing smooth, native-feeling transitions using the browser's View Transition API, enhancing polish and perceived performance.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Declarative transitions with the ViewTransition component and addTransitionType to support directional page transitions, shared element morphs, and Suspense reveals
  • Next.js integration, accessibility considerations, and ready-to-use CSS recipes for consistent animations
  • Guidance for isolating persistent elements and composing complex patterns across route changes

Quick Start

Wrap each page component with a ViewTransition and orchestrate directional transitions by invoking startTransition and addTransitionType when navigating.

FAQPage Schema
How do I implement native view transitions in React?

Native view transitions in React use the browser's View Transition API via a declarative ViewTransition component. You wrap page components and orchestrate directional transitions by invoking startTransition and addTransitionType during navigation.

How do I add shared element morphs and page transitions in Next.js?

Shared element morphs and page transitions in Next.js are handled by wrapping route components with a ViewTransition component. You apply CSS view transition classes and use addTransitionType to support directional navigation and Suspense reveals.

Does the View Transition API work with React Suspense reveals?

Yes, the View Transition API works with React Suspense reveals. You use the ViewTransition component alongside addTransitionType to animate content changes smoothly as Suspense boundaries resolve during route navigations.

What CSS recipes are needed for smooth UI transitions in React?

Smooth UI transitions in React require specific CSS view transition classes to isolate persistent elements and define animation behavior. The provided CSS recipes ensure consistent animations across route changes and shared element morphs.

Are there accessibility considerations when using view transitions in React?

Accessibility considerations for view transitions in React involve managing motion preferences and ensuring UI changes remain navigable. The implementation pattern accounts for users who disable animations while maintaining functional route changes.
