Custom Transitions for Unique Experiences
Looking to create a unique animation? Svelte's custom transition feature lets you define your own animations using CSS. This gives you the flexibility to craft animations that perfectly match your app's personality and user experience.
Example: Creating a Fading Card
Let's dive into a simple example. Imagine you have a card that you want to fade in when it's added to the DOM. With Svelte, it's a breeze:
<script>
let showCard = false;
function toggleCard() {
showCard = !showCard;
}
</script>
<main>
<button on:click={toggleCard}>Toggle Card</button>
{#if showCard}
<div transition:fade>
This is a fading card.
</div>
{/if}
</main>
