Introducing view-transitions-mock, a non-visual polyfill for same-document view transitions. @bramus built a spec-compliant JavaScript implementation of the View Transition API that works across all browsers. It handles document.startViewTransition(), the ViewTransition class with its promises, and view transition types. Animations are skipped in unsupported browsers, but DOM updates work as expected. #viewtransition #polyfill

Представляем view-transitions-mock — невизуальный полифил для view transition в рамках документа. Брамус Ван Дамм создал JavaScript-реализацию View Transition API совместимую со спецификацией, которая работает во всех браузерах без кучи условий в коде. Она обрабатывает document.startViewTransition(), класс ViewTransition с промисами и типы View Transition. Обновления DOM идентичны нативным, но анимации пропускаются в старых браузерах. #viewtransition #polyfill

It looks like some basic view transition stuff is finally coming to #Firefox, this demo works in 144 dev edition (stable is now 143): https://mdn.github.io/dom-examples/view-transitions/spa/ or https://6440m.hatchboxapp.com/photos

#ViewTransition #Web

(but fuck DHH)

If you call `document.startViewTransition()` twice synchronously:

- Chrome: continues applying the first call's transition
- Safari: aborts the first call's transition and throws "AbortError: Old view transition aborted by new view transition."

Chrome's behavior would result in fewer aborted animations, which seems like a good thing. However, Safari's behavior seems like an intentional choice. Which is correct?

The View Transition API is so cool! A cross-page crossfade transition only needs 3 lines of CSS.

Pretty cool how simple it is to strap in #viewtransition with #HTMX without any fuzz and completely in the spirit of #progressiveenhancent ❤️

I’ll definitely strap this in and be ready for browser compatibility to get there 😊
