Easy animations between react component transitions

react-component-transition

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

Install

npm install react-component-transition --save

NOTE

This package was built using react hooks therefore it requires minimum version 16.8.0 of reactjs.

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 loosing too much time testing, adjusting, styling, etc...
With a couple of code lines, it's possible to make any react page much more interactive and user friendly.

Polyfills

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

If needed, polyfills can be imported individually:

import "react-component-transition/build/polyfill/web-animations-api";
import "react-component-transition/build/polyfill/intersection-observer";
import "react-component-transition/build/polyfill/promise";

or all at once:

import "react-component-transition/build/polyfill";

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

    return (
        <TransitionFade>
            {show && <Details />}
        </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 } from "react-component-transition";
import { TransitionScale } from "react-component-transition/presets";
const Component = () => {
    
    // ...

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

With react-router

import { useLocation } from "react-router-dom";
const AppRoutes: React.FC = () => {
    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: React.FC = () => (
    <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 and is also 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 size. NOTE: 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/or `exitAnimation` if the component is visible in the viewport by using the Intersection Observer API
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
