AI BriefingImplementing Complex View Transitions Easily with the View Transitions API
Key point
How to easily implement complex view transitions using the View Transitions API.
Details
Previously, complex view transition animations required manual tasks such as managing DOM references, setting timeouts, and resetting styles. However, using startViewTransition from the View Transitions API allows the browser to automatically capture the screens before and after the change, providing fade-in/out effects. This API is an experimental feature currently supported in modern browsers such as Chrome 111 and Edge 111. Custom animations like slides can be applied to specific elements via the view-transition-name CSS property and the ::view-transition-old and ::view-transition-new pseudo-elements. Additionally, by utilizing the ready and finished Promises, complex interactions such as dynamic position calculations and expansion animations can be implemented without external libraries using JavaScript's animate() API.
