How do you handle route transitions and animations in React applications using React Router

Question

Can i know How do you handle route transitions and animations in React applications using React Router?

Answer 1

To handle route transitions and animations in React applications using React Router, you can use:

1. <TransitionGroup> and <CSSTransition> from react-transition-group:

These allow you to animate components as they enter or exit the DOM during route changes.

2. Implementation Steps:

npm install react-transition-group

Example:

import { Routes, Route, useLocation } from 'react-router-dom';

import { CSSTransition, TransitionGroup } from 'react-transition-group';

import './styles.css'; // include your transition styles

const AnimatedRoutes = () => {

  const location = useLocation();

  return (

    <TransitionGroup>

      <CSSTransition key={location.pathname} classNames="fade" timeout={300}>

        <Routes location={location}>

          <Route path="/" element={<Home />} />

          <Route path="/about" element={<About />} />

        </Routes>

      </CSSTransition>

    </TransitionGroup>

  );

};


CSS (styles.css):

.fade-enter {

  opacity: 0;

}

.fade-enter-active {

  opacity: 1;

  transition: opacity 300ms ease-in;

}

.fade-exit {

  opacity: 1;

}

.fade-exit-active {

  opacity: 0;

  transition: opacity 300ms ease-in;

}
