Animate Height

Lightweight, no dependency React component for animating height using CSS transitions. Slide up/down the element, and to any specific height.

CSS classes are applied in specific animation states, check animationStateClasses prop.

Demo & Examples

Live demo: stanko.github.io/react-animate-height

To build the examples locally, run:

npm install
npm start

Then open localhost:8000 in a browser.

Installation

The easiest way to use react-animate-height is to install it from NPM and include it in your own React build process (using Webpack).

You can also use the standalone build by including dist/react-animate-height.js in your page. If you use this, make sure you have already included React, and it is available as a global variable.

npm install --save react-animate-height

Usage

import AnimateHeight from 'react-animate-height';

<AnimateHeight
  duration={ 500 }
  height={ 'auto' }>
  <h1>Your content goes here</h1>
  <p>Put as many React or HTML components here.</p>
</AnimateHeight>

Properties

• height: numeric or 'auto', required

  When changed, element height will be animated to that height.
  To slide up use 0, for slide down use 'auto'

• duration: integer, default: 250

  Duration of the animation in milliseconds

• easing: string, default: 'ease'

  CSS easing function to be applied to the animation

• className: string

  CSS class to be applied to the element

• style: object

  CSS style object, it will be merged with inline styles of the component

• contentClassName: string

  CSS class to be applied to content wrapper element

• animationStateClasses: object

  Object containing CSS class names for animation states, default:

  {
    animating:                  'rah-animating',
    animatingUp:                'rah-animating--up',
    animatingDown:              'rah-animating--down',
    static:                     'rah-static',
    animatingToHeightZero:      'rah-animating--to-height-zero',
    animatingToHeightAuto:      'rah-animating--to-height-auto',
    animatingToHeightSpecific:  'rah-animating--to-height-specific',
    staticHeightZero:           'rah-static--height-zero',
    staticHeightAuto:           'rah-static--height-auto',
    staticHeightSpecific:       'rah-static--height-specific',
  }

  Please note that this one will be merged with the default object and cached when component is created, so changing it afterwards will have no effect.

• onAnimationStart: function

  Callback which will be called when animation starts

• onAnimationEnd: function

  Callback which will be called when animation ends

Additional props will be passed to the wrapper div, to make adding attrs like aria-* easier.

Development (src, lib and the build process)

NOTE: The source code for the component is in src. A transpiled CommonJS version (generated with Babel) is available in lib for use with node.js, browserify and webpack. A UMD bundle is also built to dist, which can be included without the need for any build system.

To build, watch and serve the examples (which will also watch the component source), run npm start. If you just want to watch changes to src and rebuild lib, run npm run watch (this is useful if you are working with npm link).
