# React Router Page Transition
Highly customizable page transition component for your React Router

Currently does not fully support react-router 4, see [Using with React Router 4](#using-with-react-router-4).

# Introduction

**React Router** is awesome, but doing transition between pages is hard, especially for complex ones.

No worries **react-router-page-transition** is here to help. You can use css to define your own transition
effect with custom data and callbacks, so now you can apply cool technique like [FLIP your animation](https://aerotwist.com/blog/flip-your-animations/)
and implement cool transitions like this:

**Live demo**: https://trungdq88.github.io/react-router-page-transition/

# Installation

npm install react-router-page-transition --save

# Add to your project

```js
import PageTransition from 'react-router-page-transition';
```

```jsx

{this.props.children}

```
- **Important:** `this.props.children` **must have** `transition-item` class in its root element. Example if you are passing `` as `this.props.children`:

```jsx
export default class ListPage extends React.Component {
render() {
return (


...

);
}
}
```

# How it works

- `PageTransition` component renders `{this.props.children}` inside a `

...
`.

- When the route change, CSS classes will be added as following:

- You'll need to define the transition in your CSS:

Example: sliding animation

```less
.detail-page {
overflow: auto;
box-sizing: border-box;
padding: 20px;
height: 100vh;
background-color: #03a9f4;
transition: transform 0.5s, opacity 0.5s;

&.transition-appear {
opacity: 0;
transform: translate3d(100%, 0, 0);
}

&.transition-appear.transition-appear-active {
opacity: 1;
transform: translate3d(0, 0, 0);
}
&.transition-leave {
opacity: 1;
transform: translate3d(0, 0, 0);
}

&.transition-leave.transition-leave-active {
opacity: 0;
transform: translate3d(100%, 0, 0);
}
}

```

Sometimes it is impossible to implement your designer's awesome animation idea in just **only CSS**. In that case, you'll need the callbacks to customize your animation with **additional data**. See **API** document and example for more information.

# API

## Properties
- **timeout**: transition duration in milisecond, this must be the same with the `transition-duration` in your CSS.

Example:
```jsx

{props.children}

```

- **data**: custom data to send to the page component via `onTransitionWillStart`, `onTransitionDidEnd`, `transitionManuallyStart`, `transitionManuallyEnd`.

Example:
```jsx

{this.props.children}

```

- **onLoad**: this callback will be call after the new page is finished replaced.

Example:
```jsx
this.refs.scrollArea.scrollTop = 0}
>
{this.props.children}

```

- **transitionAction**: this prop can be used to add additional state to the transition, for example you can identify if a transition is a "go back" or "go forward" by using `history.action` from History API.

Example:
```jsx

{this.props.children}

```
When `transitionAction` presence, class `transition-${action}` will be added along with `transition-appear`, and will be removed along with `transition-leave`.

## Callback on children component
`PageTransition` component calls a several callbacks to its child component to pass user defined additional data for the animation. Child components are mounted via React Router when the route change.

**Notice:** all these callbacks will be called in a **Promise chain**, so if you are handleing async tasks inside the callback (for example `setState`), make sure you **return a Promise** to make everything work properly.

- **onTransitionWillStart(data)**: before the transition starts (before `transition-appear-active` class is added). `data` is the variable received from the `data` property of `PageTransition`.
- **transitionManuallyStart(data)**: if you don't use `transition-appear-active` class in CSS to animate your page, you can define this method in the child component to do the animation mannually. `transition-appear-active` will not be added to the child's DOM when this method exists.
- **onTransitionDidStart(data)**: after the transition started.
- **onTransitionWillEnd(data)**: before the transition stops (before `transition-appear-active` class is removed).
- **transitionManuallyStop(data)**: similar to `transitionManuallyStart`. `transition-appear-active` will not be removed to the child's DOM when this method exists.
- **onTransitionDidEnd(data)**: after the transition stopped (after `transition-appear-active` class is removed)

Example:
```jsx
export default class DetailPage extends React.Component {
...
onTransitionWillStart(data) {
return new Promise(resolve => {
this.setState({ animating: false, postiton: data.position, opacity: 0 }, resolve);
});
}
transitionManuallyStart(data) {
return new Promise(resolve => {
this.setState({ animating: true, postiton: DEFAULT_POSITION, opacity: 1 }, resolve);
});
}
onTransitionDidStart(data) {
// Animation is happening
}
onTransitionWillEnd(data) {
// Animation is about to stop
}
transitionManuallyStop(data) {
return new Promise(resolve => {
this.setState({ animating: false }, resolve);
});
}
onTransitionDidEnd(data) {
// Page successfully replaced and finished animate
this.callMyBusinessApi();
}

...
```

Similar callbacks for **leave** event:

- onTransitionLeaveWillStart(data)
- transitionLeaveManuallyStart(data)
- onTransitionLeaveDidStart(data)
- onTransitionLeaveWillEnd(data)
- transitionLeaveManuallyStop(data)
- onTransitionLeaveDidEnd(data)

## Available CSS functional class names

- `transition-appear`, `transition-appear-active`, `transition-leave`, `transition-leave-active`.
- Root element of the transited page must have `transition-item` class.

## Using with Redux

By default, `PageTransition` will animates its children when `componentWillReceiveProps` is triggered. It compares `this.props.children !== nextProps.children` to know if the page has changed (ex: move from page Login to page AdminPanel).

When using `PageTransition` with Redux, you may end up having the animation triggered everytime the Redux state changes (ex: state change when you enter username, `componentWillReceiveProps` is triggered but the page is still Login page). In order to resolve this, you can use `data-transition-id` for the child components.

```jsx

{isLoggedIn() ?

:

}

```

When `data-transition-id` prop is provided, `PageTransition` will use this value
to compare the childrens. Now you can control exactly when will the pages are changed.

## Using with React Router 4

At the moment, callbacks are not supported on React Router 4, however the basic CSS transitions still works. You have to wrap your `` with ``. Please notice that you **have to** pass the `location` prop to `` to make it work.

```jsx






```

# When to use this?

**Pros:**
- Give you ability to implement complex animations / transitions.
- Keep page structure clean.

**Cons:**
- Requires extra setup for the components
