Animations on the web have always seemed like something impossible to do right. With complex JavaScript needed in order to do anything compelling and a lot of math required, animations are often ignored. But, what if there were a better way? What if you could just tell the browser what will animate and let the browser take care of the rest? Enter View Transitions.


View Transitions are a new web feature that allows developers to build compelling animation without having to dive into working JavaScript in order to do so. Let's look at adding View Transitions into our app and how to drive compelling animations with ease!

This talk has been presented at JSNation US 2024, check out the latest edition of this JavaScript Conference.
