React View Transitions

Animate between UI states using the browser's native document.startViewTransition. Declare what with <ViewTransition>, trigger when with startTransition / useDeferredValue / Suspense, control how with CSS classes. Unsupported browsers skip animations gracefully.

When to Animate

Every <ViewTransition> should communicate a spatial relationship or continuity. If you can't articulate what it communicates, don't add it.

Implement all applicable patterns from this list, in this order:

Priority Pattern What it communicates
1 Shared element (name) "Same thing — going deeper"
2 Suspense reveal "Data loaded"
3 List identity (per-item key) "Same items, new arrangement"
4 State change (enter/exit) "Something appeared/disappeared"
5 Route change (layout-level) "Going to a new place"

This is an implementation order, not a "pick one" list. Implement every pattern that fits the app. Only skip a pattern if the app has no use case for it.
