::view-transition-group
Limited availability
This feature is not Baseline because it does not work in some of the most widely-used browsers.
The ::view-transition-group
CSS pseudo-element represents a single view transition snapshot group.
During a view transition, ::view-transition-group
is included in the associated pseudo-element tree as explained in The view transition pseudo-element tree. It is only ever a child of ::view-transition
, and has a ::view-transition-image-pair
as a child.
::view-transition-group
is given the following default styling in the UA stylesheet:
html::view-transition-group(*) {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
animation-duration: 0.25s;
animation-fill-mode: both;
}
By default, selected elements initially mirror the size and position of the ::view-transition-old
pseudo-element representing the "old" view state, or the ::view-transition-new
pseudo-element representing the "new" view state if there isn't an "old" view state.
If there's both an "old" and "new" view state, styles in the view transition style sheet animate this pseudo-element's width
and height
from the size of the "old" view state's border box to that of the "new" view state's border box.
Note: View transition styles are dynamically generated during the view transition; see the specification setup transition pseudo-elements and update pseudo-element styles sections for more details.
In addition, the element's transform is animated from the "old" view state's screen space transform to the new view state's screen space transform. This style is generated dynamically since the values of animated properties are determined at the time that the transition begins.
Syntax
