Ah apparently this is still in the R&D phase. I was irrationally exuberant.

Almost all features land in experimental while we research and iterate on it. Once a feature is stable and we decide to ship it, we release it in canary with docs and announcements: https://react.dev/community/versioning-policy

This is great. I'm curious about your use cases though, since most of the examples I've seen (excluding actual page transitions which I already do with Astro) are kinda just showing headers transition awkwardly on page change.

Casually, one Astro based music player demo I saw was actually amazing

Yeah, I mean most applications have to be built with these sorts of transitions in mind, it’s harder to bolt them on later. But even simple things like cross-fading or sliding can make a page feel more native / app-like

jfc +9K LOC wowowowow

This is a rare take from me, but a large portion of that is the documentation I believe.

there is an example with a yarn.lock of 7k+ lines.. the actual implementation is not that huge!

snew92.bsky.social•47 days ago

Yeah I jest we got lots of things like lock files / fixtures

This is great!

They’re researching it *

No promises it will land or when, and there’s a lot to iron out still

Ah, read too much into the merged PR, thanks for the clarification!

ricky.fm•47 days ago

All good! I just want to set expectations so people don’t start blowing up our mentions/issues reporting issues we already know about or asking for docs that aren’t ready yet.

Wow, great news. It can be used for Suspense, which is great, because transitioning between states and controlling the DOM was always a chore.

This would be a great improvement! 🙌

I've reposted this as a community service because I don't understand a word of it, but if you say so...😊
