Introduction
The View Transitions API enables smooth page transitions without JavaScript or external libraries. It's one of the most exciting features of the modern web.
How it works
When navigating between pages, the API captures the previous visual state, applies the transition, and shows the new state. Everything happens in the browser.
Round-trip transitions
Define how each element transitions between pages. The same element can have different animations entering and leaving.
Usage with SPA
For SPA applications, the API triggers with document.startViewTransition(). Works with React, Vue, or Angular with minimal code.
Customization
Control duration, easing, and which elements participate. Create morphing, sliding, or fade effects between pages.
Conclusion
View Transitions API brings native-level animations to the web. At Vynta, we implement them to enhance user experience with elegant transitions.
