This directory contains the script interface and implementation of the Document Transition, and Shared Element Transition APIs.
Document Transition is a type of an animated transition that allows content to animate to a new DOM state easily. For instance, modifying the DOM to change the background color is a change that can easily be done without document transitions. However, document transition also allows the new background state to, for example, slide in from the left instead of simply atomically appearing on top of the content.
For a detailed explanation, please see the explainer
A new method is exposed on window.document, called createTransition(). This is the main interface to getting a new transition object from JavaScript. It is specified in the document_create_transition.idl and is implemented in corresponding .cc and .h files.
When called, createTransition() constructs a DocumentTransition object which is specified in document_transition.idl and is implemented in corresponding .cc and .h files.
The rest of the script interactions happen with this object.
Note that this project is in early stages of design and implementation. To follow the design evolution, please see our github repo. Furthermore, this README's Code Structure section will be updated as we make progress with our implementation.
