view-with-transition v0.1.4
view-with-transition
Allows you to implement Angular 1.x ngRoute/routerUi transitions with display:block state containers (normally used by frameworks like Bootstrap 3).
Angular route transitions are awesome but they need the state containers to have an absolute position to achieve content overlaping during the transition. This is because the DOM doesn't allow elements with position:static to overlap other elements. The only way to do it is to remove the DOM element you want to overlap from the layout changing its position to absolute. But doing this you will loose the position and size of the element you extract from the layout so you have to make some fixes.
This small library contain an unique directive to do this tasks programatically with no fuss for you.
Installation
Using Bower
bower install view-with-transitionUsing npm
npm install view-with-transitionDeclare in angular app manifest
angular.module('myApp', ['ui.route', 'dzegarra.utils.transitions']);Use
For be able of managing the transition is required to move the ui-view element inside a container.
HTML
<head>
...
<link rel="stylesheet" href="view-with-transition.min.css">
...
</head>
<body>
...
<main class="view-container">
<ui-view view-with-transition></ui-view>
</main>
...
<script src="view-with-transition.min.js"></script>
<script src="app.js"></script>
</body>Custom transitions
By default the transition used is fade. You can set new transitions passing the name of the CSS class with the transition as a value of view-with-transition directive.
This library came with a few transition effects:
- zoom-in
- slide-left
- slide-right
- slide-up
- slide-down
For can use these this way:
<main class="view-container">
<ui-view view-with-transition="zoom-in"></ui-view>
</main>And yep, you can create your own transitions and use then this way.
How it works
If you want to know how it works just check the code bro.
I'm just kidding.
What the directive view-with-transition does is play with the min-height CSS property of the container of all states and change to position:absolute each state container during the duration of the transition.
Only during the transition the height of the container is slowly changed and the overlaping of the states containers are allowed.
I encourage to read the script and, if you found something to improve or fix, to register a new issue or a pull request.
