Implementing Smooth Animations That Persist Across Page Address Changes

Key point

This introduces how to implement natural page transition animations in GatsbyJS using the History API and react-transition-group.

Details

In an SPA (Single Page Application), the JavaScript execution context is maintained, so seamless animation handling is possible even during page transitions. GatsbyJS enables this implementation by using the History API to handle page history.

When implementing page transition animations, a key point to watch out for is that the layout component's instance must not unmount during page transitions. To achieve this, you can use gatsby-plugin-layout to keep the layout persistent across page transitions.

The specific implementation steps are as follows.

  • Use the Link component to make it use the History API instead of the browser's default behavior.
  • Utilize the TransitionGroup and Transition components from the react-transition-group library.
  • Pass location.pathname as the key value to detect page changes.
  • Adjust opacity and position according to states like entering and exiting via CSS.
