fade-props v2.1.1

FadeProps

A ReactJS component that seamlessly fades between the props it is provided; it fades one child out, removes it, then fades the next child in. fade-props uses CSS animations and doesn't rely on react-addons-css-transition-group or react-addons-transition-group.

Installation

Using yarn:

yarn add fade-props

Using npm:

npm i -S fade-props

Usage

Import the component:

import FadeProps from 'fade-props';

This is a UMD build, so "require" and "global" methods are also supported.

Place your child component inside FadeProps:

<FadeProps>{childComponent}</FadeProps>

Now, when the child component changes, it will animate (fade) to the other component, or fade out if the child component was removed.

The FadeProps component accepts an animationLength prop which you can set to control the length of the fade animation; the default value is 200. The total transition time will be twice this if fading between two components (for fading one component out, and fading the next component in).

Running the demo

Clone the repository and cd into it, run npm i (or yarn install) to install all dependencies, then run npm start to start the webpack dev server. Visit http://localhost:8080 in your browser to view the demo.
