react-component-transition

Easy to use react component to apply animations between component transitions, by using Web Animations API.

Demo

https://dgpedro.github.io/react-component-transition/

Install

npm install react-component-transition --save

Typescript

Types are included in the package.

Goal

The main goal is to provide an easy and fast way to apply simple animations when transitioning from one component to another - without losing too much time testing, adjusting, styling, etc... In just a couple of lines it's possible to make any react page much more interactive and user friendly.

Polyfills

Depending on the browser to support, some polyfills might be needed:

• Web Animations API
• Intersection Observer API (only if lazy prop set to true)
• Promise

Usage

ComponentTransition

import { ComponentTransition, AnimationTypes } from "react-component-transition";
const Component = () => {

    // ...

    return (
        <ComponentTransition
            enterAnimation={AnimationTypes.scale.enter}
            exitAnimation={AnimationTypes.fade.exit}
        >
            {showDetails ? <Details /> : <Summary />}
        </ComponentTransition>
    );
};

Presets

Presets are components that have enterAnimation and exitAnimation already set, for an easier and cleaner usage.

import { Presets } from "react-component-transition";
const Component = () => {
    
    // ...

    return (
        <Presets.TransitionFade>
            {show && <Details />}
        </Presets.TransitionFade>
    );
};

There's a preset available for each AnimationTypes.

ComponentTransitionList

To be used with lists. Simply return a ComponentTransition or any preset in your map function and wrap it all with a ComponentTransitionList.

import { ComponentTransitionList, Presets } from "react-component-transition";
const Component = () => {
    
    // ...

    return (
        <ComponentTransitionList>
            {list.map((listItem, index) =>
                <Presets.TransitionScale key={index}>
                    <ListItem {...listItem} />
                </Presets.TransitionScale>
            )}
        </ComponentTransitionList>
    );
};

With react-router

import { useLocation } from "react-router-dom";
const AppRoutes = () => {
    const location = useLocation();
    return (
        <ComponentTransition
            enterAnimation={AnimationTypes.slideUp.enter}
            exitAnimation={AnimationTypes.slideDown.exit}
        >
            <Switch key={location.key} location={location}>
                <Route ... />
                <Route ... />
                <Route ... />
            </Switch>
        </ComponentTransition>
    );
};

import { BrowserRouter } from "react-router-dom";
const App = () => (
    <BrowserRouter>
        <AppRoutes />
    </BrowserRouter>
);

Custom animation

import { ComponentTransition, AnimationTypes } from "react-component-transition";
const Component = () => {

    // ...

    return (
        <ComponentTransition
            enterAnimation={[
                AnimationTypes.slideUp.enter,
                AnimationTypes.fade.enter,
            ]}
            exitAnimation={[{
                keyframes: [
                    { transform: "translate3d(0,0,0)" },
                    { transform: "translate3d(0,50%,0)" },
                    { transform: "translate3d(0,80%,0)" },
                    { transform: "translate3d(0,90%,0)" },
                    { transform: "translate3d(0,100%,0)" },
                ],
                options: {
                    duration: 500,
                    easing: "cubic-bezier(0.83, 0, 0.17, 1)",
                }
            },
            {
                keyframes: [
                    { opacity: 1 },
                    { opacity: 0.3 },
                    { opacity: 0.1 },
                    { opacity: 0 },
                ],
                options: {
                    duration: 300,
                }
            }]
            }
        >
            <Details key={selectedTab} />
        </ComponentTransition>
    );
};

API

AnimationTypes

AnimationTypes are a set of animations already defined that can be used in enterAnimation and/or exitAnimation props. Availabe ones are:

collapse.(horizontal|vertical)
expand.(horizontal|vertical)
fade.(enter|exit)
rotate.(enter|exit)
rotateX.(enter|exit)
rotateY.(enter|exit)
scale.(enter|exit)
slideDown.(enter|exit)
slideLeft.(enter|exit)
slideRight.(enter|exit)
slideUp.(enter|exit)

For each type of AnimationTypes there's a respective preset.

props

All presets and the ComponentTransition will wrap their children in a div element. This div is the element that will animate when children are unmounting or mounting (it is referenced here as "container").

Name | Type | Default | Description -----|------|---------|------------ animateContainer | boolean | false | if true the container will also animate from the exit component size to the enter component sizeNOTE: All presets have this prop set to true by default animateContainerDuration | number | 300 | Duration in milliseconds of the container animation animateContainerEasing | string | "ease" | Easing of container animation animateOnMount | boolean | false | if true, applies enterAnimation when component mounts in the initial render className | string | undefined | CSS class to set in the container element classNameEnter | string | undefined | CSS class to set in the container element during enterAnimation classNameExit | string | undefined | CSS class to set in the container element during exitAnimation disabled | boolean | false | disable all animations enterAnimation | AnimationSettings | AnimationSettings[] | undefined | Web Animations API parameters to be applied when new component mounts exitAnimation | AnimationSettings | AnimationSettings[] | undefined | Web Animations API parameters to be applied when current component will unmount lazy | boolean | false | Will apply enterAnimation and exitAnimation if the component is visible in the viewport by using the Intersection Observer API. If true container element will always be in the DOM lazyOptions | IntersectionOptions | undefined | Intersection Observer options onEnterFinished | () => void | undefined | Callback when enterAnimation finishes onExitFinished | () => void | undefined | Callback when exitAnimation finishes style | React.CSSProperties | undefined | Inline styles to set in the container element
