What problem does it solve?

This Skill enhances user experience by implementing the View Transitions API, providing smooth and visually appealing animations between page navigations and state changes, eliminating jarring jumps and improving perceived performance.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Cross-Page Transitions: Animates elements between different pages during navigation, creating a seamless flow.
  • State Change Animations: Applies transitions to UI elements when their state changes on the same page.
  • CSS-Driven Customization: Allows defining custom animations and styles using standard CSS for fine-grained control over transitions.
  • Use Case: When navigating from a list of club cards to a detailed club page, animate the specific club card to expand into the full page view, making the transition feel fluid and intuitive.

Quick Start

To add a view transition, wrap your navigation logic in startViewTransition(() => router.push(path)); and apply style={{ viewTransitionName: 'my-element' }} to the elements you want to animate.

FAQPage Schema
How do I animate page transitions in Next.js?

Page transitions in Next.js use the View Transitions API to smoothly animate between navigations. Wrap your router navigation in `startViewTransition(() => router.push(path))` and apply `viewTransitionName` styles to elements you want to animate, creating fluid visual flow between pages.

What is the View Transitions API and how does it work?

The View Transitions API is a browser standard that enables smooth CSS animations between DOM state changes. It captures a snapshot of the current view, applies your custom animations, and displays the new state, eliminating jarring layout shifts during navigation or state updates.

Can I use View Transitions for state changes on the same page?

Yes, View Transitions work for both cross-page navigation and single-page state changes. Wrap any state update in `startViewTransition()` and mark elements with `viewTransitionName` to animate them when their content or visibility changes.

Do all browsers support View Transitions API?

View Transitions API support varies by browser. This Skill provides CSS animations and fallback strategies for non-supporting browsers, ensuring graceful degradation so transitions enhance experience where available without breaking navigation elsewhere.

How do I customize animations with View Transitions?

Customize animations using standard CSS. Define keyframes and transition timing on elements marked with `viewTransitionName`, giving you fine-grained control over duration, easing, and animation behavior for each transition.

What's the difference between View Transitions and traditional CSS animations?

View Transitions automatically handle snapshots and DOM swaps during navigation or state changes, requiring minimal setup. Traditional CSS animations require manual state management; View Transitions reduce boilerplate and ensure consistent, performant transitions across page changes.
