Regardless of whether I utilize React transition group, Tailwind, pure CSS, or any other framework, no transitions seem to occur when I structure my simple component in the following manner. I have experimented with various frameworks, but the outcome remains consistent.
export const OuterComponent = () => {
const [show, setShow] = useState(false);
const InnerComponent = () => {
return (
<div>
<CSSTransition
in={show}
timeout={600}
classNames={"sidebar-transition"}
>
<div className="sidebar"></div>
</CSSTransition>
</div>
);
};
return (
<div>
<InnerComponent />
<button onClick={() => setShow((prev) => !prev)}>click me</button>
</div>
);
};
If I structure the component as shown below, everything functions correctly:
export const OuterComponent = () => {
const [show, setShow] = useState(false);
const InnerComponent = ({ children }) => {
return (
<div>
<div className="sidebar">{children}</div>
</div>
);
};
return (
<div>
<CSSTransition
in={show}
timeout={600}
classNames={"sidebar-transition"}
>
<InnerComponent />
</CSSTransition>
</div>
);
};
Here is another example using Tailwind, yielding the same result:
export const OuterComponent = () => {
const [show, setShow] = useState(false);
const style =
"w-[100px] h-[60px] transition-all duration-1000 bg-purple-900 text-2xl text-white " +
(show ? " w-[400px] " : "");
const InnerComponent = ({ children }) => {
return (
<div className={style}> // Applying style solely to this div disrupts the transition
{children}
</div>
);
};
return (
<div className={style}> // If I apply style here and remove the above style on the InnerComponent, the transition works normally
<InnerComponent />
</div>
);
};
Could someone provide insight into what might be causing this issue? Despite attempting various solutions, the problem persists, leading me to believe that a simple underlying factor eludes my understanding.
