React Show

A css-based (graphics accelerated) dependency-free animation component for React.

Why?

• You need to animate, reveal, collapse your react components. Everyone does!
• You want it smoothly animated, even on mobile. Like butter on a glide-cam!
• You don't want to bloat your app with custom physics-based animation frameworks, request-animation-frame-happy animation loops or even jQuery...heaven forbid.

Features

• 3.7 kb gzipped. Wow!
• Powered by native CSS animations & transitions. Put that on the GPU baby!
• Animates height: auto; and width: auto; for you!

Installation

$ yarn add react-show
# or 
$ npm install --save react-show

Usage

Simple Usage

You can create a simple expander component with the Animate component!

import { Animate } from "react-show";
 
const SimpleExample = () => (
  <ReactShow
    show={true || false} // Toggle true or false to show or hide the content!
    duration={500}
    style={{
      height: "auto"
    }}
    start={{
      height: 0 // The starting style for the component.
      // If the 'leave' prop isn't defined, 'start' is reused!
    }}
  >
    Hello world!
  </ReactShow>
);

Advanced Usage

You can create a simple expander component with the Animate component!

import { Animate } from "react-show";
 
const SimpleExample = () => (
  <ReactShow
    show={true || false} // Toggle true or false to show or hide the content!
    transitionOnMount // Will trigger the transition when the component is mounted and show === true
    preMount // Mounts the component's children on first render even if show === false
    stayMounted // Forces the component's children to remain mounted when show === false
    component="span" // Use a <span> (or custom) component as the wrapper instead of a <div>
    style={{
      // The permanent styles for the component
      height: `${Math.random() * 100}px`,
      background: "white"
    }}
    start={{
      // The starting styles for the hidden component.
      opacity: 0,
      height: 0
    }}
    enter={{
      // These styles will be applied when the component enters
      opacity: 1,
      height: 'auto'
      background: "green"
    }}
    leave={{
      // these styles will be applied when the component leaves
      opacity: 0,
      height: 0,
      background: "red"
    }}
  >
    Hello world!
  </ReactShow>
);

Duration, Easing, Transition Properties

You can configure duration, easing, and transition by:

• Setting a component-wide default with the duration, easing, and transitionProperty props.
• Optionally using a lifecycle specific style property like transitionDuration, transitionTimingFunction, transitionProperty or even transitionDelay.

ReactShow comes with a wide variety of easings built-in! See Easing Options for a full list.

import ReactShow from "react-show";
 
const DurationAndEasingExample = () => (
  <ReactShow
    show={true || false} // Toggle true or false to show or hide the content!
    duration={500} // // The duration of the transition in milliseconds
    easing={ReactShow.easings.easeOutQuad} // Comes with all the easings you could want!
    enter={{
      // Only use this duration/delay during the `enter` stage
      transitionDuration: ".3s",
      transitionDelay: "1s"
    }}
  >
    Hello world!
  </ReactShow>
);

Lifecycle

React-Show uses the following lifecycle to determine which styles to show:

When show === true

• If component is not mounted
  • If transitionOnMount === true
    • The start styles are set as the initial style
  • If transitionOnMount === false
    • The enter styles are set as the initial style
  • The component is mounted
• If component is already mounted
  • The enter styles are set as the initial style
• If a width or height style is/was set to auto
  • The display: block and overflow: hidden styles are temporarily applied
  • The component scrollWidth/scrollHeight is measured
  • The display: block and overflow: hidden styles are removed
• The enter styles are applied and component waits until all transitions complete
• All lifecycle styles are removed and component waits until all transitions complete
• The onFinish prop function is fired

When show === false

• If a width or height style is/was set to auto
  • The display: block and overflow: hidden styles are temporarily applied
  • The component scrollWidth/scrollHeight is measured
  • The display: block and overflow: hidden styles are removed
• The leave or start styles are applied and component waits until all transitions complete
• If stayMounted === false
  • The component is unmounted

Easing Options

React-Show comes packaged with some awesome easings that are accessible via ReactShow.easings. They are extremely simple to use too:

import ReactShow from "react-show";
 
const SimpleExample = () => (
  <ReactShow show={true} easing={ReactShow.easings.easeOutQuart}>
    Hello world!
  </ReactShow>
);

Below is a full list of the available easings exported at ReactShow.easings
