vue-router-transition

✨ Configurable and native-like page transition for Vue3 and vue-router-next

Demo

Code Demo

Why :question:

• Light weight: Only one component added and optional pre-built css

• Configurable: Easily config different transition for EACH route. Support reverse transition to make your app animation look like native.

• Easy to use: Just need to install the package and add some configs to use. Easily integrate with other css library like Animate.css

Install :coffee:

Note: The plugin only support for Vue3+ and Vue Router Next (vue-router^4)

npm i @duannx/vue-router-transition
yarn add @duannx/vue-router-transition

Usage :rocket:

Import the plugin on your main.js

// src/main.js
import VueRouterTransition from '@duannx/vue-router-transition'
Vue.use(VueRouterTransition)
// Optional. Import css file if you want to use built in css
import '@duannx/vue-router-transition/dist/style.css'

Replace your router-view with RouterViewTransition component

<!-- App.vue -->
<template>
   <RouterViewTransition :route-key="route.path"/>
</template>

Add config to your routes list

// routes.js
export default [
    {
        path: '/',
        name: 'home',
        component: Home,
        meta: { // the plugin will use meta.transitons of your route
            transitions: {
                priority: 3, // smaller number - higher priority
                enter: 'fade', // transition when navigate to this route
                leave: 'fade' // transition when navigate from this route
            }
        }
    },
    {
        path: '/collection/:id',
        component: Collection,
        name: 'collection',
        meta: {
            transitions: {
                priority: 2,
                enter: {
                    name: '', // optional. It will render to {{name}}-enter-to {{name}}-enter-from {{name}}-leave-to {{name}}-leave-from
                    enterClass: 'animate__animated animate__rollIn', // integrate with animate.css.
                    leaveClass: ''
                },
                leave: {
                    enterClass: '',
                    leaveClass: 'animate__animated animate__rollOut'
                }
            }
        }
    },
    {
        path: '/product/:id',
        component: Product,
        name: 'product',
        meta: {
            transitions: {
                priority: 1,
                enter: 'slide-right',
                leave: 'slide-right-reverse',
                selfEnter: 'fade', // use selfEnter to define transition when redirect to the same route which has the same name or transitionID.
                transitionID: 'product-route' // id that define which routes is the same and use selfEnter transition
            }
        }
    }
]

You can easily add your custom transition by providing a name and styling for it. This plugin is built on top of Vue3 Transition. Strong recommend to read Vue3 Transition before customizing the plugin. The classes to add style are: yourClassName-enter-from, yourClassName-enter-to, yourClassName-enter-active, yourClassName-leave-from, yourClassName-leave-to, yourClassName-leave-active
