During a Swipe Gesture Render a Clone Offscreen and Animate it Onscreen (#32500)
This is really the essence mechanism of the `useSwipeTransition`
feature.

We don't want to immediately switch to the destination state when
starting a gesture. The effects remain mounted on the current state. We
want the current state to be "live". This is important to for example
allow a video to keeping playing while starting a swipe (think
TikTok/Reels) and not stop until you've committed the action. The only
thing that can be live is the "new" state. Therefore we treat the
destination as the "old" state and perform a reverse animation from
there.

Ideally we could apply the old state to the DOM tree, take a snapshot
and then revert it back in the mutation of `startViewTransition`.
Unfortunately, the way `startViewTransition` was designed it always
paints one frame of the "old" state which would lead this to cause a
flicker.

To work around this, we need to create a clone of any View Transition
boundary that might be mutated and then render that offscreen. That way
we can render the "current" state on screen and the "destination" state
offscreen for the screenshots. Being mutated can be either due to React
doing a DOM mutation or if a child boundary resizes that causes the
parent to relayout. We don't have to do this for insertions or deletions
since they only appear on one side.

The worst case scenario is that we have to clone the whole root. That's
what this first PR implements. We clone the container and if it's not
absolutely positioned, we position it on top of the current one. If the
container is `document` or `<html>` we instead clone the `<body>` tag
since it's the only one we can insert a duplicate of. If the container
is deep in the tree we clone just that even though technically we should
probably clone the whole document in that case. We just keep the impact
smaller. Ideally though we'd never hit this case. In fact, if we clone
the document we issue a warning (always for now) since you probably
should optimize this. In the future I intend to add optimizations when
affected View Transition boundaries are absolutely positioned since they
cannot possibly relayout the parent. This would be the ideal way to use
this feature most efficiently but it still works without it.

Since we render the "old" state outside the viewport, we need to then
adjust the animation to put it back into the viewport. This is the
trickiest part to get right while still preserving any customization of
the View Transitions done using CSS. This current approach reapplies all
the animations with adjusted keyframes.

In the case of an "exit" the pseudo-element itself is positioned outside
the viewport but since we can't programmatically update the style of the
pseudo-element itself we instead adjust all the keyframes to put it back
into the viewport. If there is no animation on the group we add one.

In the case of an "update" the pseudo-element is positioned on the new
state which is already inside the viewport. However, the auto-generated
animation of the group has a starting keyframe that starts outside the
viewport. In this case we need to adjust that keyframe.

In the future I might explore a technique that inserts stylesheets
instead of mutating the animations. It might be simpler. But whatever
hacks work to maximize the compatibility is best.

React · GitHub license npm version (Runtime) Build and Test (Compiler) TypeScript PRs Welcome

React is a JavaScript library for building user interfaces.

  • Declarative: React makes it painless to create interactive UIs. Design simple views for each state in your application, and React will efficiently update and render just the right components when your data changes. Declarative views make your code more predictable, simpler to understand, and easier to debug.
  • Component-Based: Build encapsulated components that manage their own state, then compose them to make complex UIs. Since component logic is written in JavaScript instead of templates, you can easily pass rich data through your app and keep the state out of the DOM.
  • Learn Once, Write Anywhere: We don't make assumptions about the rest of your technology stack, so you can develop new features in React without rewriting existing code. React can also render on the server using Node and power mobile apps using React Native.

Learn how to use React in your project.

Installation

React has been designed for gradual adoption from the start, and you can use as little or as much React as you need:

Documentation

You can find the React documentation on the website.

Check out the Getting Started page for a quick overview.

The documentation is divided into several sections:

You can improve it by sending pull requests to this repository.

Examples

We have several examples on the website. Here is the first one to get you started:

import { createRoot } from 'react-dom/client';

function HelloMessage({ name }) {
  return <div>Hello {name}</div>;
}

const root = createRoot(document.getElementById('container'));
root.render(<HelloMessage name="Taylor" />);

This example will render "Hello Taylor" into a container on the page.

You'll notice that we used an HTML-like syntax; we call it JSX. JSX is not required to use React, but it makes code more readable, and writing it feels like writing HTML.
