This adds an isomorphic API to add Transition Types, which represent the
cause, to the current Transition. This is currently mainly for View
Transitions but as a concept it's broader and we might expand it to more
features and object types in the future.
```js
import { unstable_addTransitionType as addTransitionType } from 'react';
startTransition(() => {
addTransitionType('my-transition-type');
setState(...);
});
```
If multiple transitions get entangled this is additive and all
Transition Types are collected. You can also add more than one type to a
Transition (hence the `add` prefix).
Transition Types are reset after each commit. Meaning that `<Suspense>`
revealing after a `startTransition` does not get any View Transition
types associated with it.
Note that the scoping rules for this is a little "wrong" in this
implementation. Ideally it would be scoped to the nearest outer
`startTransition` and grouped with any `setState` inside of it.
Including Actions. However, since we currently don't have AsyncContext
on the client, it would be too easy to drop a Transition Type if there
were no other `setState` in the same `await` task. Multiple Transitions
are entangled together anyway right now as a result. So this just tracks
a global of all pending Transition Types for the next Transition. An
inherent tricky bit with this API is that you could update multiple
roots. In that case it should ideally be associated with each root.
Transition Tracing solves this by associating a Transition with any
updates that are later collected but this suffers from the problem
mentioned above. Therefore, I just associate Transition Types with one
root - the first one to commit. Since the View Transitions across roots
are sequential anyway it kind of makes sense that only one really is the
cause and the other one is subsequent.
Transition Types can be used to apply different animations based on what
caused the Transition. You have three different ways to choose from for
how to use them:
## CSS
It integrates with [View Transition
Types](https://www.w3.org/TR/css-view-transitions-2/#active-view-transition-pseudo-examples)
so you can match different animations based on CSS scopes:
```css
:root:active-view-transition-type(my-transition-type) {
&::view-transition-...(...) {
...
}
}
```
This is kind of a PITA to write though and if you have a CSS library
that provide View Transition Classes it's difficult to import those into
these scopes.
## Class per Type
This PR also adds an object-as-map form that can be passed to all
`className` properties:
```js
<ViewTransition className={{
'my-navigation-type': 'hello',
'default': 'world',
}}>
```
If multiple types match, then they're joined together. If no types match
then the special `"default"` entry is used instead. If any type has the
value `"none"` then that wins and the ViewTransition is disabled (not
assigned a name).
These can be combined with `enter`/`exit`/`update`/`layout`/`share`
props to match based on kind of trigger and Transition Type.
```js
<ViewTransition enter={{
'navigation-back': 'enter-right',
'navigation-forward': 'enter-left',
}}
exit={{
'navigation-back': 'exit-right',
'navigation-forward': 'exit-left',
}}>
```
## Events
In addition, you can also observe the types in the View Transition Event
callbacks as the second argument. That way you can pick different
imperative Animations based on the cause.
```js
<ViewTransition onUpdate={(inst, types) => {
if (types.includes('navigation-back')) {
...
} else if (types.includes('navigation-forward')) {
...
} else {
...
}
}}>
```
## Future
In the future we might expose types to `useEffect` for more general
purpose usage. This would also allow non-View Transition based
Animations such as existing libraries to use this same feature to
coordinate the same concept.
We might also allow richer objects to be passed along here. Only the
strings would apply to View Transitions but the imperative code and
effects could do something else with them.
React ·

React is a JavaScript library for building user interfaces.
- Declarative: React makes it painless to create interactive UIs. Design simple views for each state in your application, and React will efficiently update and render just the right components when your data changes. Declarative views make your code more predictable, simpler to understand, and easier to debug.
- Component-Based: Build encapsulated components that manage their own state, then compose them to make complex UIs. Since component logic is written in JavaScript instead of templates, you can easily pass rich data through your app and keep the state out of the DOM.
- Learn Once, Write Anywhere: We don't make assumptions about the rest of your technology stack, so you can develop new features in React without rewriting existing code. React can also render on the server using Node and power mobile apps using React Native.

Installation
React has been designed for gradual adoption from the start, and you can use as little or as much React as you need:
- Use Quick Start to get a taste of React.
- Add React to an Existing Project to use as little or as much React as you need.
- Create a New React App if you're looking for a powerful JavaScript toolchain.
Documentation
You can find the React documentation on the website.
Check out the Getting Started page for a quick overview.
The documentation is divided into several sections:
- Quick Start
- Tutorial
- Thinking in React
- Installation
- Describing the UI
- Adding Interactivity
- Managing State
- Advanced Guides
- API Reference
- Where to Get Support
- Contributing Guide

Examples
We have several examples on the website. Here is the first one to get you started:
import { createRoot } from 'react-dom/client';
function HelloMessage({ name }) {
return <div>Hello {name}</div>;
}
const root = createRoot(document.getElementById('container'));
root.render(<HelloMessage name="Taylor" />);
This example will render "Hello Taylor" into a container on the page.
You'll notice that we used an HTML-like syntax; we call it JSX. JSX is not required to use React, but it makes code more readable, and writing it feels like writing HTML.
