react-transition-group VS include-media

The two most popular choices now (circa Jan 2024) are React Transition Group, started in 2016, and Framer Motion, started in 2018. I'm not too familiar with the former, so this article solely dives into the workings of AnimatePresence from Framer Motion and how it's able to enable exit animations.

We use the React Transition Group CSSTransition. I think you could also use Framer Motion, but I've never really tested this.

With transitions that come out of the box with React do you mean React-Transition-Group ?

I don't have an answer to your specific question but I do have a recommendation that might help. Take a look at https://reactcommunity.org/react-transition-group/. It's very popular and used by MUI in their animated components. Even if you don't install it, looking at their docs and source code might help you get a better idea of how to do what you want.

Oh, but not React; React wants you to suffer! (unless you use a library like react-transition-group, of course.

React-transition-group

There are a bunch of animation libraries to overcome this difficulty. The most famous is probably React Transition Group. There are also Framer Motion, React Spring, and Transition Hook.

AutoAnimate makes for a smooth experience when an element changes in the DOM. I would like to compare AutoAnimate with React Transition Group, which is a simple transition library for component entering and exiting, but with some additional configurations.

Some React animations libraries, like react-transition-group and transition-hook, animate elements with manually configured CSS transitions. Framer Motion takes a different approach, by animating elements under the hood with preconfigured styles.

React Transition Group offers a straightforward approach to animations and transitions by providing its in-built components such as TransitionGroup for defining animations.

Customization options and the default breakpoints can be found on the Website and in the Docs.

Using an SCSS pre-processor gives you access to powerful math and nice tools, like https://eduardoboucas.github.io/include-media/ for example.

I‘d use https://eduardoboucas.github.io/include-media/ instead, it combines all media queries on compile which will result in smaller CSS files.

include-media

https://eduardoboucas.github.io/include-media/ wonderful for work with media queries.
