spark-html-motion

spark-html-motion

Declarative enter / leave transitions for spark-html — the Spark way: no compiler, no virtual DOM, 0 dependencies (1.5 kB gzipped). When an <template if> / <template each> block adds or removes an element, it animates in/out. A leaving element is held in the DOM until its exit animation finishes, then removed.

Install

bun add spark-html-motion

Use

Register once, before mount(), then opt elements in with a transition attribute:

import { mount } from 'spark-html';
import { motion } from 'spark-html-motion';

motion();
mount(document.body);

<template each="t in todos">
  <li transition="slide">{t.text}</li>
</template>

<template if="open">
  <div class="panel" transition="fade">…</div>
</template>

• transition="fade | slide | scale" — or the directive form transition:fade.
• transition-duration="300" — milliseconds (per element).
• transition-easing="ease-out" — any CSS easing (per element).

The initial render is not animated by default (only later enters/leaves) — pass motion({ appear: true }) if you want the first paint to animate too. prefers-reduced-motion: reduce is honored automatically (no animation).

Options & defaults

motion({
  preset: 'fade',   // default preset for a bare `transition` attribute
  duration: 200,    // ms
  easing: 'ease',
  appear: false,    // animate the initial mount?
});

Custom presets

presets is a plain object of { in: Keyframe[], out: Keyframe[] } (standard Web Animations keyframes) — add your own:

import { presets, motion } from 'spark-html-motion';
presets.zoom = {
  in: [{ transform: 'scale(0)' }, { transform: 'scale(1)' }],
  out: [{ transform: 'scale(1)' }, { transform: 'scale(0)' }],
};
motion();
// <li transition="zoom">…</li>

How it works

Spark core exposes a tiny lifecycle({ enter, leave }) seam; this package registers into it and drives the Web Animations API. Nothing animates unless you call motion(), and elements without a transition attribute are added/removed instantly — so the cost is strictly opt-in.

The Spark family

Small, single-purpose packages that share one philosophy: no compiler, no virtual DOM, no build step required — built for humans who love hand-writing their web apps. Add only what you use.

Package	What it does
spark-html	The runtime — components, reactivity, stores, forms, scoped styles. ~14.4 kB gzip, 0 deps.
spark-html-bun	Dev server, bundler & preview on Bun — scoped HMR, no-build dev, post-build pipeline.
spark-html-router	<template route> routing — nested routes/layouts, route.query, active links.
spark-html-theme	Dark/light/system theming in one line — persisted, no flash.
spark-html-head	Reactive <title>/<meta> per route + a head store.
spark-html-motion	Enter/leave transitions on if/each blocks — `transition="fade
spark-html-devtools	In-page devtools — live stores, component tree, patch activity.
spark-html-query	Declarative async data — a self-fetching store (loading/error/data/refetch).
spark-html-persist	Persist stores to localStorage/sessionStorage in one line.
spark-html-websocket	A WebSocket as a reactive store — auto-reconnect, JSON, send().
spark-prerender	Build-time SEO prerender + sitemap/robots — no SSR server.
spark-ssr	Full-stack SSR on Bun — the template is the backend: inferred DB, REST CRUD, auth, live updates. Precompiled + response-cached: fast by default.
spark-html-image	Build-time image optimization — webp/avif + responsive srcset, zero config.
spark-html-font	Font loading optimizer — preload + size-adjusted fallbacks, no FOUT.
spark-html-manifest	PWA manifest + icons + head tags (and optional service worker) from one config.
spark-html-offline	Offline URL imports — a service worker that caches CDN components.
spark-html-sri	Subresource Integrity — hash + verify assets and remote components.
create-spark-html-app	Scaffold a spark-html app in one command.
prettier-plugin-spark	Prettier for components — formats <script>/<style>, markup stays byte-for-byte.
spark-html-language-server	LSP — diagnostics, go-to-definition, prop autocomplete, hover docs.
