I have an image on a React page. When the state is updated to a new image I want to perform the following transition effect:
The effect should look similar to passing through a wall to a new scene.
How am I able to do this in React?
As @pgsandstrom mentioned, React Transition Group is the way to go. Unfortunately, it's not very developer friendly (pretty steep learning curve).
Here's a working example: https://codesandbox.io/s/6lmv669kz
✔ Original image zooms in while fading out
✔ New image zooms in while fading in
TransitionExample.js
import random from "lodash/random";
import React, { Component } from "react";
import { CSSTransition, TransitionGroup } from "react-transition-group";
import uuid from "uuid/v1";
const arr = [
{
id: uuid(),
url: `https://loremflickr.com/600/100?lock=${random(0, 999)}`
},
{
id: uuid(),
url: `https://loremflickr.com/600/100?lock=${random(0, 999)}`
},
{
id: uuid(),
url: `https://loremflickr.com/600/100?lock=${random(0, 999)}`
}
];
export default class TransitionExample extends Component {
state = {
index: 0,
selected: arr[0]
};
nextImage = () =>
this.setState(prevState => {
const newIndex = prevState.index < arr.length - 1 ? prevState.index + 1 : 0;
return {
index: newIndex,
selected: arr[newIndex]
};
});
render = () => (
<div className="app">
<div style={{ marginBottom: 30, height: 100 }}>
<TransitionGroup>
<CSSTransition
key={this.state.selected.id}
timeout={1000}
classNames="messageout"
>
<div style={{ marginTop: 20 }}>
<img className="centered-image" src={this.state.selected.url} />
</div>
</CSSTransition>
</TransitionGroup>
</div>
<div style={{ textAlign: "center" }}>
<button
className="uk-button uk-button-primary"
onClick={this.nextImage}
>
Next Image
</button>
</div>
</div>
);
}
styles.css
.app {
margin: 0 auto;
overflow: hidden;
width: 700px;
height: 800px;
}
.centered-image {
display: block;
margin: 0 auto;
}
/* starting ENTER animation */
.messageout-enter {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: calc(13% + 5px);
right: calc(13% + 5px);
opacity: 0.01;
transform: translateY(0%) scale(0.01);
}
/* ending ENTER animation */
.messageout-enter-active {
opacity: 1;
transform: translateY(0%) scale(1);
transition: all 1000ms ease-in-out;
}
/* starting EXIT animation */
.messageout-exit {
opacity: 1;
transform: scale(1.01);
}
/* ending EXIT animation */
.messageout-exit-active {
opacity: 0;
transform: scale(4);
transition: all 1000ms ease-in-out;
}
<Animate on={value} /> component.It sounds like you are looking for React Transition Group. It is the "official" way of solving these issues. Specifically I think this is what you should use. It can be a bit tricky to get a hang of, but it is really nice and powerful once you understand it.
This worked for me (link):
index.js:
import React from "react";
import { render } from "react-dom";
import "./styles.scss";
const src1 =
"https://www.nba.com/dam/assets/121028030322-james-harden-traded-102712-home-t1.jpg";
const src2 = "https://www.nba.com/rockets/sites/rockets/files/wcwebsite.jpg";
var state = {
toggle: true
};
class App extends React.Component {
render() {
const cn1 = "imgFrame " + (state.toggle ? "toggleOut" : "toggleIn");
const cn2 = "imgFrame " + (state.toggle ? "toggleIn" : "toggleOut");
return (
<div>
<img className={cn1} src={src1} alt={"img1"} />
<img className={cn2} src={src2} alt={"img2"} />
<button
onClick={() => {
state.toggle = !state.toggle;
this.forceUpdate();
}}
>
click me to toggle
</button>
<h1>Hello</h1>
</div>
);
}
}
render(<App />, document.getElementById("app"));
style.scss:
html,
body {
background-color: papayawhip;
font-family: sans-serif;
h1 {
color: tomato;
}
}
@keyframes fadeout {
0% {
opacity: 1;
transform: scale(1);
}
100% {
opacity: 0;
transform: scale(0.9);
}
}
@keyframes fadein {
0% {
opacity: 0;
transform: scale(1.1);
}
100% {
opacity: 1;
transform: scale(1);
}
}
.toggleOut {
animation: fadeout 500ms;
opacity: 0;
}
.toggleIn {
animation: fadein 500ms;
opacity: 1;
}
.imgFrame {
position: absolute;
top: 10px;
left: 10px;
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
}
button {
position: absolute;
top: 220px;
}
Wrap with a simple <Animate on={value} /> component that triggers an animation when value changes and is not undefined.
function Animate({ children, on }) {
return (on === undefined)
? <div>{children}</div>
: <div className="fade-in" key={on}>{children}</div>
}
import { useEffect, useState } from 'react'
function TestAnimate() {
const [value, setValue] = useState() // undefined
// update value every second
useEffect(() => {
setInterval(() => setValue(new Date().toLocaleString()), 1_000)
}, [])
return (
<Animate on={value}>
Value: {value}
</Animate>
)
}
@keyframes fadeIn {
from { opacity: 0; }
to { opacity: 1; }
}
.fade-in {
animation: fadeIn 500ms ease-in-out;
}
