I am faced with a challenge in styling a container that dynamically changes its height based on the content it holds. The issue arises when I want to add a transition effect to this dynamic height change. Since the height is determined by the changing text content, I cannot set an initial height for the container. Both the text and the resulting height are unpredictable. As of now, my current code does not include any transitions for the height adjustments of the container. Below is a basic example to illustrate my dilemma.
Take a look at the Component:
import React, { Component } from "react";
export default class Test extends Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = {
text: "Item 2",
};
}
changeText = () => {
this.setState({
text:
"A much longer text@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@ @@@@@@ @@@@@@@@ @@@@@ @@@@ @@@@@@ @@@@ @@@@@ @@@@@@ @@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@ @@@@ @@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@!",
});
};
render() {
return (
<div>
<div className="text">
<div className="item1">Item 1</div>
<div className="item2">{this.state.text}</div>
<div className="item3">Item 3</div>
</div>
<button onClick={this.changeText}>Click</button>
</div>
);
}
}
And here is the corresponding CSS:
.text {
background-color: yellow;
max-width: 300px;
transition: all 3s ease-out;
}
