vue-overdrive

Super easy magic-move transitions for Vue apps, powered by Ramjet

Project Install

# npm
npm install vue-overdrive

# yarn
yarn add vue-overdrive

Warning!

Currently, vue-overdrive isn't able to morph between shapes with percentage-based border-radius values. You'll need to use a pixel-based value, or you'll get a nasty TypeError. The issue is being tracked here: https://github.com/Rich-Harris/ramjet/issues/57

What is it?

A Vue.js port of the amazing React Overdrive, using Ramjet under the hood.

How does it work?

Just like with React Overdrive, wrap any two elements in a component. Add the same id to create a transition between the elements.

Import and install

import Overdrive from 'vue-overdrive'
Vue.use(Overdrive)

or

import { VOverdrive } from 'vue-overdrive'
 
// Register the component locally
components: {
  'overdrive': VOverdrive
}

Set up (at least) two different routes with Vue Router

Inside your routes file –

{
  path: '/circle',
  name: 'Circle',
  component: Circle
},
{
  path: '/rectangle',
  name: 'Rectangle',
  component: Rectangle 
}

Scaffold your components

In Circle.vue:

<template>
  <overdrive id="element" :easing="easing" :duration="350">
    <div class="circle"></div>
  </overdrive>
</template>
 
<script>
import * as easing from 'eases/quart-in-out' // Bring 'yr own easing functions!
export default {
  name: 'el-circle',
  data () {
    return {
      easing
    }
  }
}
</script>
 
<style scoped>
  .circle {
    width: 100px;
    height: 100px;
    border-radius: 50%;
    background: blue;
    float: left;
  }
</style>
 

And in Rectangle.vue –

<template>
  <overdrive id="element">
    <div class="rectangle"></div>
  </overdrive>
</template>

Usage with v-if

If you're not using Vue Router (and instead using Vue's built-in v-if directive), be sure to specify a unique key prop on each instance of <overdrive>

<overdrive key="a" id="window" :duration="450" v-if="!windowOpen">
  <!-- some element -->
</overdrive>
<overdrive key="b" id="window" :duration="450" v-if="windowOpen">
  <!-- some element -->
</overdrive>
