I change the component that is rendered through a time interval.
I would like to be able to add an animation every time that change happens. What is the best way to go about it?
constructor (props) {
super(props)
this.state = { currentComponent: 1,
numberOfComponents: 2}
}
componentWillMount() {
setInterval(() => {
if(this.state.currentComponent === 2) {
this.setState({currentComponent: 1})
} else {
this.setState({currentComponent: this.state.currentComponent + 1})
}
}, 5000)
}
render(){
let currentComponent = null;
if(this.state.currentComponent === 1) {
currentComponent = <ComponentOne/>;
} else {
currentComponent = <ComponentTwo/>;
}
return(
currentComponent
)
}
EDIT:
Also when trying to use 'react-addons-css-transition-group' I get the following error:
You can do with ReactCSSTransitionGroup like provided in this section
Your css:
.example-enter {
opacity: 0.01;
}
.example-enter.example-enter-active {
opacity: 1;
transition: opacity 500ms ease-in;
}
.example-leave {
opacity: 1;
}
.example-leave.example-leave-active {
opacity: 0.01;
transition: opacity 300ms ease-in;
}
Will look like this:
import ReactCSSTransitionGroup from 'react-addons-css-transition-group';
class MyComponent extends Component {
constructor (props) {
super(props)
this.state = { currentComponent: 1,
numberOfComponents: 2}
}
componentWillMount() {
setInterval(() => {
if(this.state.currentComponent === 2) {
this.setState({currentComponent: 1})
} else {
this.setState({currentComponent: this.state.currentComponent + 1})
}
}, 5000)
}
render(){
let currentComponent = null;
if(this.state.currentComponent === 1) {
currentComponent = <ComponentOne/>;
} else {
currentComponent = <ComponentTwo/>;
}
return(
<ReactCSSTransitionGroup
transitionName="example"
transitionEnterTimeout={500}
transitionLeaveTimeout={300}>
{currentComponent}
</ReactCSSTransitionGroup>
)
}
}
