@wbe/react-transition

A zero dependency React transition component who allows to manage play-in & play-out transitions of any DOM element.

About

React-transition responds to the simple request to have control over the play-in and play-out transition of any component or DOM element.

React does not by default provide the ability to execute an exit transition function before a DOM element is destroyed. Alexey Taktarov explains this "limitation" with example in this publication.

React-transition a "Vuejs like" transition API. It's intended to partially meet the same needs of Vue transition component.

Install

$ npm i @wbe/react-transition

Usage

import React, {useState} from "react"
import {Transition} from "@wbe/react-transition"

  const [isToggle, setIsToggle] = useState(true)

  // Example with GSAP
  const playInTransition = (el, done) => {
    gsap.fromTo(el, {autoAlpha: 0}, {autoAlpha: 1, onComplete: done})
  }

  const playOutTransition = (el, done) => {
    gsap.fromTo(el, {autoAlpha: 1}, {autoAlpha: 0, onComplete: done})
  }

  return (
    <div className={"app"}>
      <button onClick={() => setIsToggle(!isToggle)}>Toggle</button>
